🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4 Small Waffles)
Dry Ingredients:
-
1 cup almond flour
-
2 tbsp coconut flour
-
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (flax meal)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 tbsp erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
-
1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
-
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp melted coconut oil (plus more for greasing waffle maker)
🧑🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to fully preheat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
2. Make the “Vegan Buttermilk”
In a small bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. This helps mimic the richness usually provided by eggs and dairy.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Ground flaxseed
-
Baking powder
-
Sweetener
-
Salt
Ensure there are no clumps.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients
Add the vegan buttermilk mixture, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well until you get a thick, pourable batter. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Cook the Waffles
Spoon batter into the waffle maker and spread evenly. Cook for 4–6 minutes (depending on your machine) until golden brown and crisp.
⚠️ Tip: Don’t open too early—these waffles need time to firm up without eggs.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately, or keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F / 90°C).
🍓 Serving Ideas
Top your waffles with:
-
Fresh berries (in moderation for keto)
-
Sugar-free syrup

Almond butter or peanut butter

Coconut whipped cream (dairy-free!)

Don’t skip flaxseed: It acts as a binder in place of eggs
