Low-Carb Waffles with Psyllium Husk

🍽️ Low-Carb Waffles with Psyllium Husk

Servings: 2–3 waffles (can be doubled)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour (finely ground)

• 2 tbsp coconut flour

• 2 tsp psyllium husk powder (for texture & structure)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)

• 3 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: 1–2 tsp erythritol or preferred keto sweetener

Optional toppings:

• Sugar-free syrup

• Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

• Whipped cream (unsweetened)

• Chopped nuts

🥄 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Lightly grease with coconut oil or non-stick spray.

2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt.

• Make sure there are no lumps from the psyllium; it absorbs moisture quickly.

3️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients

• In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla, and sweetener until fully combined.

4️⃣ Combine & Rest

• Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms.

• Let the batter sit for 3–5 minutes. Psyllium husk will absorb liquid and thicken, giving your waffles structure and a slightly chewy texture.

5️⃣ Cook the Waffles

• Spoon the batter into your preheated waffle maker (about 1/2 cup per waffle, depending on size).

• Cook for 4–6 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Psyllium husk waffles can be slightly more delicate, so avoid overfilling.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

• Carefully remove waffles with a silicone spatula.

• Top with sugar-free syrup, berries, or keto-friendly toppings.

💡 Tips for Perfect Low-Carb Waffles

1. Consistency Check: Batter should be thick but spreadable. If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp almond milk.

2. Crispier Waffles: Brush melted butter or coconut oil on the waffle plates before cooking.

3. Make Ahead: Waffles freeze well. Just reheat in the toaster for 2–3 minutes.

4. Flavor Boost: Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon or a few drops of liquid stevia for a sweeter touch.

5. Texture Variation: For extra crunch, fold in chopped nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut.

These waffles are high in fiber, low in carbs, and keto-friendly, thanks to the psyllium husk, which gives them a light but structured texture that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack.
