Equipment

  • Waffle iron

Ingredients
  

  • cups finely ground almond meal
  • 3 tbsp erythritol
  • 2 whole large eggs
  • 1/3 cup plain whey protein isolate
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond beverage
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla essence
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • First, take a moment to assemble all your ingredients. Having everything in one place makes the process a breeze. Trust me, it saves time and keeps chaos at bay.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond meal, erythritol, whey protein isolate, sea salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Make sure everything is well combined. This base will ensure your waffles have that delightful texture and flavor.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, beat the two whole eggs and the two egg whites until frothy. You want to whip some air into them! Then, add the unsweetened almond beverage, avocado oil, and vanilla essence. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

  • Now, pour the wet mixture into the bowl with your dry ingredients. Stir gently, combining them until just mixed. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay!

Step 5: Preheat the Waffle Iron

  • While you’re mixing, preheat your waffle iron. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results. A hot waffle iron is key to getting that crispy exterior everyone loves.

Step 6: Cook the Waffles

  • Once the waffle iron is ready, spray it lightly with cooking spray or brush a small amount of oil. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface but not too much that it spills over. Close the lid and let the magic happen. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, often around 3-5 minutes.

Step 7: Enjoy!

  • Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles. Serve them hot with your favorite toppings, and savor the deliciousness. Whether it’s a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, some fresh berries, or nut butter, the choice is yours!

Notes

  • Almond Meal: This is your primary source of “flour.” It’s nutrient-dense and provides a lovely nutty flavor.
  • Erythritol: This sugar substitute is fantastic for those on a sugar-free diet. It won’t raise blood sugar levels and is gentle on your stomach.
  • Whey Protein Isolate: A high-quality protein option that keeps your waffles fluffy and loaded with muscle-building goodness.
  • Almond Beverage: Instead of milk, I opt for unsweetened almond milk to keep the carb count low.
  • Avocado Oil: Offers healthy fats and a neutral flavor, making it perfect for baked goods.
  • Eggs: They add richness and help bind the ingredients together.
  • Cinnamon: Not just for flavor, cinnamon has great health benefits such as anti-inflammatory properties.
