For a recent birthday gift I received a waffle maker. As you may know, I am from the UK and this particular appliance is not very common there. So I started making some pretty good waffles from the recipe included with the maker, and my son and husband loved them! They were - of course - full of carbohydrates so here is my low carbohydrate version! I serve it with a sweet whipped butter but you could also try low carb maple syrup or fresh berries and cream!

How to Make Low Carb Waffles

To make the waffle batter, whisk three eggs and some unsweetened almond milk together in a large bowl.

Add some almond flour, low carb sweetener (I used Lakanto), baking powder, and a little xanthan gum. The xanthan gum is a zero carb thickener that adds a more authentic texture to the waffles!

Preheat a waffle iron (here's the one that I have) and spray it with non-stick spray. Add a cup full of the mixture to the waffle maker and cook for around four minutes or until the steam has stopped rising.

Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make a second waffle. While the waffles are cooking, combine room temperature butter, heavy cream and sweetener in a stand mixer and whisk until light and airy.

Serve the waffles topped with the butter. I also added a sprinkling of Confectioner's Swerve, and added some Lakanto maple syrup on the side!!!

These low carb waffles are more filling than regular waffles, so serving size here is two wedges from a large waffle maker (or quarter of the recipe, if you prefer).

If you have leftover waffles, let them cool then place them in a plastic freezer bag. To cook, simply pop them in the toaster for a super quick and filling breakfast!
