📝 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
-
1 cup almond flour (finely ground)
-
1 tbsp coconut flour
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
2 oz cream cheese (softened)
-
3 large eggs
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet waffles)
-
1–2 tbsp keto sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit, optional)
🧑🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Waffle Maker
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Soften & Mix Cream Cheese
In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Use a whisk or hand mixer to beat it until smooth and lump-free.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Make the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
6. Cook the Waffles
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the waffle maker (amount may vary depending on size). Spread slightly and close the lid.
Cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
7. Cool Slightly Before Serving
Remove the waffle and let it sit for 1–2 minutes. This helps it firm up and improves texture.
