I never imagined I’d be singing the praises of almond butter in waffles, but here we are—life’s full of little surprises, right? These flourless wonders are like a warm hug on a chilly morning, especially when you drizzle them with a bit of sugar-free syrup or maybe a handful of berries. It’s like keto magic on your plate, perfect for those days when you want to feel fancy without the fuss.
Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, stirring until well mixed. This will be your dry ingredient base.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a low-carb sweetener until smooth. Ensure all wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, lightly grease it with oil or non-stick spray.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle maker, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
