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
-
Consistency Check: Batter should be thick but spreadable. If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp almond milk.
-
Crispier Waffles: Brush melted butter or coconut oil on the waffle plates before cooking.
-
Make Ahead: Waffles freeze well. Just reheat in the toaster for 2–3 minutes.
-
Flavor Boost: Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon or a few drops of liquid stevia for a sweeter touch.
-
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.
