Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Low Carb
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- Sweetener to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. Whisk dry ingredients together to eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, crack eggs and add pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk, and your preferred sugar-free sweetener. Whisk these wet ingredients until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring continuously to create a consistent waffle batter. Mix until no dry flour streaks remain.
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron, spreading gently to cover the surface. Close the iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove waffle using a silicone spatula and place on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with optional low-carb toppings like sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better batter consistency.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Take extra time to whisk dry and wet ingredients separately to prevent lumps and ensure even flavor distribution.
- Waffle Iron Prep: Lightly grease your waffle iron to prevent sticking and achieve that perfect crispy exterior.
- Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with sugar-free alternatives like sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream to keep it low-carb.
- Storage Hack: If you have leftovers, freeze the waffles between parchment paper and reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast later.
- Sweetener Options: Adjust the sweetener to your taste preference, using monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol for a zero-carb approach.
