Keto Waffles
Are you on a keto diet and looking for a breakfast option (besides eggs and avocado) that’s both delicious and compliant with your dietary restrictions? Look no further! These keto waffles are not only easy to make, but they’re also packed with healthy ingredients that will keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Ingredients:
For 6 servings, here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 6 tbsp. ghee (sub avocado oil for vegan option)
- 4 tsp. granular monkfruit or stevia
- 2 tsp, baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
The ingredients used in this recipe are all keto-friendly. Almond flour is a fantastic low-carb, gut-friendly alternative to traditional wheat flour. Ghee adds a healthy dose of additional buttery flavor. I personally find monkfruit to be a tastier option when baking as opposed to stevia. However, for those with SIBO or an intolerance to FODMAPS, stevia or coconut sugar may be more tolerable.
Preparation
First things first, preheat your waffle iron. This is a crucial step you don’t want to skip! Preheating the iron ensures that your waffles cook evenly and have that perfect, crispy exterior. Once the waffle iron is preheated, spray it with some avocado oil. This helps prevent the waffles from sticking to the iron.
Making the Waffles
Begin by whisking the two eggs until they’re fluffy. This introduces air into the batter, which will make your waffles light and airy. Once the eggs are fluffy, add your choice of avocado oil, melted vegan butter, or ghee, along with the vanilla extract.
Now it’s time to add the remaining ingredients: the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir these ingredients until they’re just combined. You want the batter to be thick and fluffy. Let the batter sit for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb all the moisture and creates a better texture for your waffles.
It’s important to note that you should not re-mix the batter after it has rested. If you do, you may end up with waffles that are dense and heavy, rather than light and fluffy.
Once the batter is ready, scoop it into your preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions. Every waffle iron is a bit different, so make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious keto waffles warm, topped with sugar-free maple syrup for a classic breakfast experience. My personal favorite keto syrup is linked below. If you want to add a bit more flavor, consider sprinkling some additional cinnamon on top. For added crunch, try some grain-free granola. If you’re a fan of a creamy element, a dollop of coconut yogurt would be a fantastic addition.
These waffles can also be reheated in a toaster, so feel free to make a larger batch and save some for later. They’re perfect for those busy mornings when you don’t have time to cook but still want a healthy and satisfying breakfast.
With this recipe, you’ll have a breakfast option that doesn’t compromise on taste while aligning perfectly with your keto diet. Enjoy the process of making these waffles and savour every bite of this delicious and healthy breakfast!
