Whip up these delicious and healthy gingerbread waffles, perfect for a festive low-carb breakfast!
Equipment
- Blender
- Waffle Iron
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or other low-carb milk
- 3 tablespoons butter melted, but not hot
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup Swerve Brown or your preferred brown sugar alternative
- 1/4 cup unflavored whey protein powder or plant-based protein
- 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder optional, for a richer color
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a spacious blender, gently combine the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend for about 30 seconds until well mixed.
- Next, add the almond flour, Swerve Brown, protein powder, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Blend again until your batter is wonderfully smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes – this helps create perfect waffles! While it rests, preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the center of your preheated waffle iron, spreading it gently towards the edges. Close the lid and cook until your waffles are beautifully puffed and golden brown. Cooking time will vary with your specific waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffles and repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, dust them lightly with powdered sweetener before serving.
Notes
Waffle Iron Tip: For smaller mini waffle makers, use about 3 tablespoons per waffle; larger Belgian-style irons will need more batter.
