Equipment
- Waffle Iron
- Wire Rack
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
For the Waffles
- 2 large egg whites (from 1 separated whole egg + 1 additional large egg white)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 cup almond flour finely ground
- 1/4 cup erythritol sweetener (for waffles)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk at room temperature
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk (from the separated whole egg)
For the Cinnamon "Sugar" Coating
- 1/3 cup granular sweetener (erythritol or allulose)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- First, preheat your mini waffle iron or a classic style waffle maker. Avoid using a deep Belgian-style iron for these waffles to get the best crispy texture.
- In a large bowl, whisk the two egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar until they form firm, fluffy peaks. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, gently whisk together the almond flour, the 1/4 cup sweetener for the waffles, and the baking powder until well combined.
- Now, stir in the room-temperature almond milk, the single egg yolk, a splash of avocado oil, and fragrant vanilla extract into the dry mixture until everything is smoothly blended.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Be gentle and stop folding as soon as no streaks remain, to keep the batter light and airy.
- Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron. Spoon about 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter into each mini waffle well or section of your larger waffle iron. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, gently remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. For extra crispiness, you can pop the baking sheet into a warm 200°F oven for 10-15 minutes while you finish cooking the rest. Remember to re-grease your waffle iron between batches!
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the 1/3 cup granular sweetener and the fragrant cinnamon for your coating.
- Lightly brush each warm waffle with melted butter on both sides, then gently dip each into the cinnamon 'sugar' mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve your delicious Keto Churro Waffles immediately for a delightful, healthy treat!
