Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol or low-carb sweetener
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Melted unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum (optional, for better texture)
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or melted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, salt, and xanthan gum (if using).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until you achieve a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the flours to hydrate.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using an appropriate amount based on your waffle iron’s size (typically about 1/3 to 1/2 cup). Spread evenly if needed.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden and crisp, about 3-5 minutes or when the waffle iron indicates it is done.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron between batches if necessary.

Step 9

Serve warm with sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or berries for a low-carb topping option.
