Description
This Keto Waffle recipe is a real winner for your low carb breakfast options. They are so easy to make and likewise so delicious to eat. Pour some sugar-free syrup and a pat of butter on the top and you will forget that you are on a diet.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 4 eggs (separated)
- 2 tbsp monk fruit, granular
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp melted butter, (Coconut oil, almond butter, or peanut butter for Paleo or Vegan)
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Mixing the Batter:
- Pick out a big mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl, starting with the almond flour and coconut flour.
- Next, add the monk fruit, baking powder, and salt. Blend everything together.
- Take the eggs and separate them by placing the egg yolks in one small bowl and the whites in another.
- Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Add the almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Blend together with an electric mixer or a whisk until all of the ingredients are mixed together well.
- Using the electric mixer, with clean beaters, mix the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- With a spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter that is in the large bowl.
- Plug in the waffle iron and turn it up to medium temperature. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or oil.
Pouring the Waffle Mix:
- You don’t want to make your keto waffle mix, not too thick and not too thin. I call it a thick pour which means that I help it get into the waffle iron with a spoon.
- When filling the waffle iron, only fill the squares halfway because once you put the lid down, the batter spreads and will come running down the outside of the iron. You will lose some of the batter and also make a big mess.
Cooking:
- Turn the waffle iron on medium temperature. It takes about 3 minutes to cook a batch.
- If your waffle iron has a chime or a light, that is the easiest way to tell if the waffle is done. When the steam stops coming out of the waffle iron, it is also another way to know that the low carb waffles are done cooking.
Notes
4.2 NET Carbs for 1 Waffle.
Make sure to use oil or non-stick spray to coat the waffle iron before using it.
If your waffles need more crisping, then stick them in the toaster oven for 5 minutes.
Make sure to separate the eggs and whip up the egg whites separately to soft peaks in order to make your keto waffles fluffier.
Keep finished waffles in the oven on warm until they are all cooked.
Be sure to wrap securely any uneaten waffles and refrigerate or freeze until the next breakfast.
Paleo Option: By taking out the butter and replacing it with coconut oil or almond butter, you now have a paleo waffle recipe.
Vegan Option: When removing eggs, you need to replace it with “vegan eggs” which are simply made from chia seeds mixed with water or flax seeds mixed with water. Also an option to replace the butter is by using almond butter or coconut oil.
Reheating: If you have left over cooked waffles then you can heat them up in the oven or toaster oven for about 5 min, or in the microwave for 1 min if you are in a hurry or on the go.
Storing: In order to store your leftover waffles, wrap them up in an airtight container or ziploc bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Freeze the leftover waffles wrapped in ziploc bags or airtight containers, and keep in the freezer for about 3 months.
