These keto-friendly waffles make an excellent breakfast for those long, lazy weekend mornings. You’re probably wondering how waffles can fit into your keto diet lifestyle, as they’re known for being carb-laden and packed with sugar, but this recipe is completely keto-friendly.
We simply replaced the key ingredient – all-purpose flour – with psyllium husk and chia seeds. They make a great carb-free alternative for baking cakes and cookies and are definitely staple ingredients in my pantry!
Sugar is another staple in most waffle recipes but we simply replaced it with some vanilla extract and erythritol (natural sugar alcohol) to stop waffle from tasting bitter.
Then there are the toppings. A traditional waffle would be smothered in gooey chocolate sauce and fresh whipped cream but that’s simply not compatible with the keto diet lifestyle! For those who have a sweet tooth, fresh berries make a wonderful, sugar-free accompaniment.
Or you could drizzle some ghee over your almond flour waffles, which make a great, healthier alternative to butter.
Finally, don’t let the relatively long list of ingredients put you off – these keto-friendly waffles are super simple to make and take less than 20 minutes!
