HOMEMADE LOW CARB WAFFLES

Low Carb Cookbook Series

Sixto Carreon’s page 16 of his debut cookbook “Low Carb Cookbook: A Comprehensive Guide to Low Carb Living with a 30-Day Meal Plan and Flavourful, Nutritious Recipes, cited “You can use any recipe of your choice.” And if you don’t have one here’s a quick and easy low-carb waffle recipe.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins:

1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for a touch of spice

Instructions:

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. If you’re using any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or cinnamon, fold them in now.
Cook the waffles: Grease the waffle iron with a bit of butter or oil. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle grids (the amount will depend on your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden and crisp. This usually takes about 5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Serve hot: Remove the waffle carefully and serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Tips:

Make sure your waffle iron is well-greased to prevent sticking.
For extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the batter last.
Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste preference and the type of sweetener you use.

This recipe should yield about 4 to 6 waffles depending on the size of your waffle maker. Enjoy your keto-friendly waffles with your favorite toppings!
