Keto Apple Cinnamon Waffles

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
• 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp apple extract (optional, for stronger apple flavor)
• 1/2 cup diced green apple (optional for higher carb, or use 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts for lower carb)
• Butter or coconut oil for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions:

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), erythritol, vanilla extract, and apple extract (if using).
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. If you’re using diced green apple or chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
5. Grease the waffle iron lightly with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
6. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the waffles from the iron and let them cool slightly before serving.
8. Serve the waffles with your favorite low-carb syrup, a pat of butter, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.

Tips:

• For an extra indulgent touch, top your waffles with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup.
• You can freeze any leftover waffles and reheat them in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
