Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
¼ cup almond flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granular sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
Wet Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (sugar-free for low carb)
1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (adjust liquids as needed)
Pinch of sea salt for balance
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with nonstick spray or coconut oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sweetener until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If you’re adding protein powder or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Scoop the batter into your preheated waffle iron and spread it evenly. Close the iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Carefully remove the waffle and let it cool slightly before serving. You can top with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of sugar-free syrup!
Notes
For extra protein, add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder to the batter. Adjust the almond milk for the right batter consistency.
Swap the coconut oil for almond or peanut butter for a nutty flavor.
Top with fresh fruit for extra nutrition and sweetness.
For a vegan version, use a flaxseed egg and plant-based milk.
