Ingredients
Waffles
- 1 large whole egg (separated)
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup almond milk (room temperature)
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon “Sugar” Coating
- 1/3 cup granular sweetener (erythritol or allulose)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron: Preheat a mini or classic style waffle iron, avoiding deep Belgian style irons to ensure the right waffle texture.
- Beat egg whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk almond flour, erythritol, and baking powder. Stir in almond milk, egg yolk, avocado oil, and vanilla until well combined.
- Fold egg whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture, ensuring there are no streaks for a light batter.
- Cook waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron, add 3–4 tablespoons of batter per waffle section, and cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool waffles: Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. Re-grease waffle iron and repeat with remaining batter.
- Optional crisping: For extra crispiness, place all cooked waffles on the baking tray into a 200ºF oven for 10–15 minutes.
- Prepare cinnamon coating: Mix the granular sweetener and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Coat waffles: Brush each waffle with melted butter, then dip into the cinnamon-sweetener mix to coat.
- Serve: Enjoy the waffles as is or complement them with keto hot fudge sauce for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use a mini or classic waffle iron, not a deep Belgian style one for best texture.
- Be sure to beat egg whites to stiff peaks for a fluffy, tender waffle.
- Room temperature almond milk ensures better mixing and batter consistency.
- For a sweeter coating, adjust the sweetener and cinnamon ratio to taste.
- Waffles can be kept warm and crisped in a low oven if not serving immediately.
- Optional keto hot fudge sauce pairs wonderfully for a dessert twist.
