- Large Bowl
- Wire Rack
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
- Shallow bowl
Ingredients
For the Waffles
- 1 large whole egg separated
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol sweetener ensure it's erythritol-based for best crispiness
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk room temperature
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon "Sugar" Coating
- 1/3 cup granular sweetener erythritol or allulose work well
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter (3 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Get Ready: Start by preheating your mini or classic style waffle iron. Avoid using a deep Belgian style waffle maker for this recipe.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites along with the salt and cream of tartar until they form stiff, glossy peaks. Set aside.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol sweetener, and baking powder until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, stir in the room temperature almond milk, the egg yolk (from your separated egg), avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Fold Gently: Carefully and gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Continue folding until no white streaks remain, keeping the batter light and airy.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron. Spoon about 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter into each mini waffle well or section. Close the lid and let them cook without disturbing for 4 to 5 minutes, then gently lift to check for a golden brown color.
- Cool & Repeat: Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. Re-grease the waffle iron lightly before cooking the rest of the batter. For an extra crispy finish, you can place the baking tray of waffles in a 200°F (95°C) oven for 10-15 minutes after cooking.
- Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the granular sweetener and cinnamon for your irresistible "churro" coating.
- Coat Waffles: While the waffles are still warm, lightly brush each side with melted butter, then immediately dip them into the cinnamon mixture, ensuring an even and delicious coating.
- Enjoy! Serve your healthy and easy Keto Churro Waffles warm, perhaps with a side of keto-friendly hot fudge sauce for an extra treat.
