Description

These Brownie Waffles are a rich and guilt-free breakfast treat that combines the flavors of chocolate brownies with the crispy texture of waffles. Made with almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and natural sweeteners, this recipe is low-carb and packed with protein, making it a delicious and nutritious way to start your day.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granular sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (sugar-free for low carb)
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (adjust liquids as needed)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with nonstick spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, granular sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.
  5. Add extras: If using protein powder or sugar-free chocolate chips, fold them into the batter carefully to evenly distribute.
  6. Cook the waffles: Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the waffles are cooked through and the edges are slightly crispy.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Remove the waffles carefully, let them cool slightly, and serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nut butter, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of almond milk if using protein powder to maintain a good batter consistency.
  • Using sugar-free chocolate chips keeps this recipe low-carb and diabetic-friendly.
  • These waffles can be reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter and almond milk.
  • Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
