Keto Pumpkin Waffles are a delicious low-carb, high-protein breakfast option packed with the warm, comforting flavors of fall. Perfect for those following a keto or low-carb diet!
Ingredients
- For the Waffles:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup granular sweetener (erythritol recommended)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or other low-carb milk)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Blend the wet ingredients: In a large blender, combine the eggs, pumpkin puree, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend again until well combined.
- Finish the batter: Add the almond milk and melted butter, then blend once more. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken.
- Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease the plates. Once hot, add about 1/4 cup of batter to each section, spreading it to the edges.
- Cook the waffles: Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown (cooking time will depend on your waffle iron).
- Serve: Remove the cooked waffles to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter. Top the waffles with butter and sugar-free pancake syrup or lightly sweetened whipped cream and cinnamon.
Notes
- Storage: Store waffles in a covered container on the counter for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 10 days.
- Freezing: Freeze waffles for up to several months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for crispy waffles.
- Variations:
- Add-ins: Stir in some chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- Toppings: Try adding whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or fresh berries for a fun twist.
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut oil instead of butter and a dairy-free milk alternative.
