Keto Coconut Flour Waffles

The typical waffle recipe is founded on wheat flour, I wanted to find an alternative and ensure I remain on my low-carb diet.  I’ve tried many combinations to make the perfect waffles without compromising the flavor and the texture and I’m happy to say that we have a winner. The replacement ingredient is coconut flour, being gluten-free, low carb, and keto-friendly, and vegetarian, it’s managed to tick off all the right boxes.

I’ve been on a rollercoaster with Coconut flour, little experiments to find that sweet spot and understand what this ingredient is capable of. When you are making recipes using coconut flour you need a binding agent since the gluten-free nature gives it, its own unique consistency. Psyllium husk is the weapon of choice. When psyllium husk is mixed with water it absorbs all the moisture and becomes like a thick gel which makes it ideal for use as a binding agent when making baked food with nut flour or gluten-free flour.

To make these simple keto waffles all you need is coconut flour, psyllium husk, and a few other basic ingredients but I have to say, unlike other waffles, these Keto coconut flour waffles have a very unique texture and flavor, it’s soft and has a cakey texture.
