Low Carb Waffles

Low carb waffles come together in just minutes. These delicious waffles are kissed with vanilla and made with egg powder substitute, so there’s ZERO eggy taste to these scrumptious breakfast wafers. Make them savory or sweet to satisfy everyone.

Why We LOVE These Low Carb Waffles SO Much

The best thing about these waffles is that you pre-mix the dry ingredients together so when you are ready to eat your waffles, all you do is add the wet ingredients and they’re ready in a jiff! After combining all the dry ingredients together, just add water, oil, and vanilla before getting your waffle batter steaming away.

When you have the dry ingredients already prepared, it allows you to mix just one waffle or an entire batch. Prepare large batches of the dry ingredients if you have a household eating a low carb diet.

Waffle Around

Waffles for breakfast are AMAZING; topped with berries and cream, slathered in butter and syrup, spread with peanut butter, and never forget the eggs! Of course, we love having them at all times of the day around here. Omitting the vanilla and adding fresh herbs makes a great vessel for a sandwich or any savory meal.

Hey, we all get a sweet tooth sometimes, of course we don’t like to leave out dessert! SF chocolate chips are always welcome inside our waffles, and we love to mix it up with SF berry syrups, SF caramel, and SF chocolate syrup.

What you will need:

• Almond flour

Waffle Origin

Waffles have been and are known around the world as many different names. They originated in ancient Greece where the Athenians cooked batter between two metal plates. These plates took on many different designs throughout the centuries as did the ingredients that were available to add to the batter.

The plates were held over an open fire to cook the wafers or waffles, called oublie. Smaller plates were used to create wafers for communion. The waffles/wafers were very flat. It wasn’t until around the fifteenth century that the waffle iron started taking on a very different shape.

The sixteenth century presented the first recipe using a leavening agent. In the centuries following, sugar, spices, and beer were introduced into recipes in the European countries.

Low Carb Waffles Nutrition Facts

Each full-size waffle will approximately contain 456 calories, 37.8 grams of fat, 15.1 net carbs, and 11.7 grams of protein. A mini waffle will approximately contain 149 calories, 12.6grams of fat, 5 net carbs, and 3.9 grams of protein.

The calculations do not include optional ingredients nor the non-stick spray. These numbers are provided in good faith, are not concrete, and are calculated to the best of our ability.

How to Make Low Carb Waffles

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together and mix well. Transfer the ingredients to an airtight container and store in a cool and dry place.

When you are ready to prepare a waffle, measure out the dry ingredient mixture into a small or large bowl, depending on how many waffles you are making. Add the oil, water, and vanilla (if using). Mix well and pour into a preheated waffle iron sprayed with non-stick spray.

Cook the waffle longer than the normal cooking time for a regular waffle, about 7-8 minutes for a large waffle and 4-5 minutes for a mini waffle. Remove from the iron and serve with your favorite toppings. Allowing the waffles to cook longer than a regular waffle creates a crisp texture on the outside and a fluffy texture on the inside.

Issues with Sticking

• Allow the batter to rest 5 minutes before placing in the waffle iron.
• Heavily spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray.
• Make sure the irons are clean and free of any food debris.
• Allow the waffle to cook for at least 6 minutes before checking on it.
• Preheat the iron all the way before adding batter.

Freezing

These waffles are easily freezable. Seal in airtight bags. Remove from freezer and reheat in microwave, or in heated waffle iron for about one minute. Alternatively, using mini waffles or cutting waffles down to size, place in the toaster for a quick and easy crispy waffle.
