If you are on the ketogenic diet, then you are eating meals that are low in carbs and high in fat. Which means you are not allowed to consume all-purpose flour or sugar. So, you have to find low-carb alternatives. We will give you some ideas with easy recipes and useful tips. Plus, your gut will thank you for this delicious recipe! The reason is that the keto diet can also relieve certain digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome. There you have it, the ingredients for ketogenic sugar-free and gluten-free waffles:

• 5 eggs separated
• 4 tbsp. coconut flour
• 4 tbsp. granulated sweetener (or to taste)
• 1 C. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tbsp. vanilla
• 3 tbsp. whole milk or cream
• 125 g melted butter

Equipment:

• Two bowls
• A mixer
• A waffle iron

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and peaks. This will make your waffles extra fluffy.
2. In a second bowl, combine the egg yolks, coconut flour, sweetener and baking powder.
3. Slowly add the melted butter, stirring to get a smooth consistency.
4. Add the milk, vanilla and mix well.
5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolks mixture. Try to keep as much air and softness as possible.
6. Put enough mixture in the hot waffle iron to make a waffle. Cook until golden brown.
7. Repeat the operation until all the preparation has been used.

Tips:

• If you don't have enough time, just mix all the ingredients together and go to the waffle iron. Take into account that in this case the waffles will not be crispy.
• You can toast the ketogenic waffles in the oven or on the panini rack.
• Keep waffles warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in the oven to keep them crisp.
• Do not stack the waffles, otherwise they will lose their crispness.
• Spray your waffle iron liberally with non-stick cooking spray so they won't stick.
• Let the dough sit and thicken as you preheat your waffle iron.

Either a breakfast or a brunch, the options to garnish your waffles are numerous. You just have to avoid carbohydrates. So, garnish with seasonal fruit and a little sugar-free chocolate chips. You can also add sugar-free maple syrup, ghee, or coconut oil as a garnish. This both adds extra flavor and strengthens your body with healthy fats. Another delicious, low-carb option is to melt almond butter or sunflower seed butter and drizzle over your waffles. Yum !
