Equipment

Waffle Iron
food processor or high speed blender
Wire Rack or Cooling Rack

Ingredients

4 Large eggs
3/4 cup water or dairy free milk
3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup Equip Protein Powder or other protein powder
2 teaspoons Baking powder

Instructions

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preheat your Belgian waffle maker or classic waffle maker. I turn mine to the middle setting or medium heat. Do not go with a high temperature as they will surely burn and stick not cooking all the way through.
Now with a blender add the wet ingredients of the eggs, chosen liquid and melted oil or butter you chose to use. Blend on low until combined and smooth.
Stop the blender then add in the dry ingredients starting with the Equip Prime Protein Powder, then coconut flour and baking powder. Blend until smooth then set a timer for 10 minutes. You have to wait the 10 minutes for the batter to soak up the liquid ingredients.
Before removing the blender pitcher, pulse the blender one last time for a bit to mix up the ingredients after sitting.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with additional coconut oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the waffle maker in each well. If you have a single size waffle maker or a Belgian Waffle iron that makes large waffles, pour or scoop batter to within about one-half inch of the outside edge. This batter is thicker and does spread, but not too much so you need to get close to the edge.
Cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 4-5 minutes until the steam has almost stopped and the waffles are golden brown and crispy. If you find that when you raise the waffle maker top and the waffles start to pull apart, you have not cooked long enough.
Gently with a utensil push the waffle away from the sides of the waffle maker and flip them onto a wire rack. It is important with coconut flour baked items that you let them cool for a few minutes so they can set.
Once they have cooled a minute or two, enjoy them with your favorite toppings such as peanut butter, fresh berries, fresh fruit or chocolate chips. For a classic breakfast, drizzle with sugar free maple syrup.
Place any leftover waffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freeze them flat on a baking sheet for one hour before putting in a freezer safe bag up to 3 months. Reheat them in the toaster from frozen for a quick and easy breakfast.

If you want to add extra protein and creaminess, a dollop of Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative) is a great option. Choose an unsweetened variety to keep it keto-friendly.
Consider adding in a teaspoon of lemon juice to add a sour note to the batter like a butter milk recipe.

Can I Use a Different Protein Powder? Yes, you can substitute Equip Prime Protein Powder with another protein powder, but keep in mind that this might alter the moisture content needed. Some whey protein powders, or vegan protein powders may absorb liquid differently, so you may need to adjust the liquid content. When I used a whey-based protein powder with this recipe, it required less coconut flour, 1/3 cup instead of 1/2 cup, and a 1/2 tsp more of baking powder.

Can I Freeze These Waffles? Yes! These waffles freeze beautifully. Place cooled leftover waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze for an hour, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or plastic freezer storage bag. Reheat them in the toaster or toaster oven straight from the freezer, just like frozen classic waffles from the grocery store, for a quick breakfast anytime. You can also warm them up in a preheated oven set at a medium-low temperature (200F-250F) for 10 minutes.

Can I Use Almond Flour Instead of Coconut Flour? Coconut flour is recommended in this recipe because it provides the right structure and texture. Almond flour tends to crumble more easily, but if you must use it, add a little more protein powder or a binding agent like xanthan gum to prevent crumbling. You will also have to adjust the amount of liquid used and not skip the soaking step before pouring into the waffle iron.

Can I Make This Recipe even if I do not have a Blender? Yes! You can easily blend everything up in a food processor or with a hand mixer. Hand mixing does not get the particles fine enough for a fluffy texture, but you may try it and see if you like it. In this case, blend wet ingredients in a large bowl, then blend the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk well. You can also try separating the egg yolks from the egg whites and whip the white separately. After mixing up the batter, fold in the egg whites gently to help create fluffy waffles.

Can I Make These Waffles Sweeter Next Time by Adding in a Sweetener? Yes, if you want the waffles to be sweeter you can add a sweetener to the waffle batter. I would recommend only a few tablespoons of keto brown sugar, or for a natural sugar try coconut sugar. Of course, regular sugar will work too in this addition.

Will this Recipe Work to Make Dairy Free Pancakes? Yes, you can transform this recipe to work as pancakes. You will need to add in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup more liquid, or an additional egg for it to be pourable enough to fry up in a skillet. Cook until you see bubble appear on the surface and the outside pull up and look a bit dry. Flip and cook a minute more.
