Keto Friendly Zucchini Waffles (about 5 grams carb, gluten -free, and high protein)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour or almond meal
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup milk I used almond milk but you can use regular ones too.
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cool
- ¼ cup granulated monk fruit
- 3 eggs
- ¼ tsp salt and more to draw out the moisture from zucchini
- ¼ tsp vanilla optional
- ½ cup shredded zucchini
Instructions
Prepare Zucchini
- Shred the zucchini then sprinkling some salt over it. Mix salt and zucchini with your hands and leave it to draw out the moisture while preparing other ingredients.
- Drain the zucchini water out.
Making the Waffles Method 1. Keep it simple but they wont be as soft and airy. Also crispy on the outside. Just like the ones in the photo above.
- Beat eggs and granulated monk fruit together. Follow by milk, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
- Add cocoa powder, baking powder, and almond flour. Fold the dry ingredients to the wet. Then fold the zucchini into the mixture.
- Grill/bake the waffles in the waffle maker. After the green light (that said "ready"), open the lid but keep grilling for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Take the waffles out to cool. Serve with Keto friendly syrup and less sugary fruit such as raspberries and blueberries.
Making the Waffles Method 2. For softer and more airy waffles.
- Separate eggs white and yolk. Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
