🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4–5 small waffles)
Dry Ingredients:
-
1 cup almond flour (fine, blanched)
-
2 tbsp coconut flour
-
1 tbsp erythritol or any kid-safe keto sweetener
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
3 large eggs (room temperature)
-
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins (Kid-Friendly):
-
1 tbsp cocoa powder (for chocolate waffles)
-
1–2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
-
1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle maker and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until you get a thick but pourable batter. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Pour batter into the waffle maker (don’t overfill). Cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Cool Slightly Before Serving
Let waffles cool for 1–2 minutes so they firm up—this helps them get crispier.
