DECADENT WILD BLUEBERRY WAFFLES WITH GUAVA SAUCE BONUS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the first section except the coconut oil into a blender and blend until smooth. Add a little water if necessary to blend, but be careful to keep the batter thick. Scoop all of the batter out of the blender into a mixing bowl. This makes it so much easier to deal with. While blending, heat up your waffle iron. For the George Foreman grill, I heat it to the maximum temperature of 425 degrees.
• Brush a thin layer of coconut oil across your non-stick waffle iron, then heap 1/2 to 2/3 cup of batter onto it. Do not attempt to spread it out, this will only make a mess. This batter doesn't behave like normal flour-based pancake batter. See the photos above in the write-up for more details.
• Close waffle iron and set a timer for 7 minutes. While the first batch of waffles is cooking, jump down to the sauce instructions and get that cooking on the stove.
• When the timer goes off, very carefully lift the waffle iron lid up a tiny bit and peek inside. If it looks like the waffle is remaining intact and nicely browned, then open it all the way to remove the waffle. If it looks like it might split apart, then close it up to cook 1-2 minutes more. The waffle needs to be well done to hold together. If you open the waffle iron too early, you'll have 2 halves of waffle, one on each side (upper and lower) of the waffle maker - it'll still taste good, but not look very pretty.
• Repeat steps 2-4 until you've cooked all of your waffle batter. Adjust the timing and temperature as needed for your particular waffle iron.
• Place the maple syrup and blueberries into a small sauce pan and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes. Add more maple syrup if needed. Don't forget to check on your sauce while the waffles are cooking - don't allow all of the moisture to boil away. It can also be thinned with a little water. *see note below
• Place the maple syrup and chopped pineapple guavas into a small sauce pan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Add more maple syrup if needed. Don't forget to check on your sauce while the waffles are cooking - don't allow all of the moisture to boil away. It can also be thinned with a little water.
