🛒 Ingredients
🧇 For the Keto Waffles:
-
1 ½ cups almond flour
-
2 tbsp coconut flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
2 tbsp granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
-
3 large eggs
-
¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
-
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
🍯 For the Sugar-Free Syrup:
-
½ cup water
-
¼ cup powdered erythritol
-
1 tsp xanthan gum (for thickening)
-
1 tsp maple extract
-
1 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Sweetener
-
Salt
Make sure there are no lumps.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add:
-
Melted butter
-
Almond milk
-
Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined into a thick batter. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker (amount depends on your machine).
Cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
💡 Tip: Don’t open the waffle maker too early—this helps achieve crispiness.
Step 6: Prepare the Sugar-Free Syrup
In a small saucepan:
-
Bring water to a gentle simmer.
-
Add powdered erythritol and stir until dissolved.
-
Sprinkle in xanthan gum slowly while whisking to avoid clumps.
-
Add maple extract and butter.
-
Simmer until slightly thickened (2–3 minutes).
Let cool—it will thicken more as it sits.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Serve waffles warm with a generous drizzle of sugar-free syrup. Add toppings like:
-
Fresh berries (in moderation)
-
Whipped cream
-
Crushed nuts
-
Keto chocolate chips
