Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 240 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 Eggs, separated
• 3 tablespoons Sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar substitute until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and gently mix until a smooth batter forms; do not overmix.

Step 5

In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. This step adds airiness to the batter.

Step 6

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula, making sure not to deflate the air bubbles.

Step 7

Lightly grease the waffle iron with a nonstick spray or brush with a small amount of melted butter.

Step 8

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount depends on your iron’s size) and close the lid.

Step 9

Cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, usually between 4–6 minutes, based on your waffle iron. Repeat for the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve immediately with fresh fruit, sugar-free syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar substitute as desired.
