Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Peanut butter (creamy, no sugar added; or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil (melted; or melted butter)
- 3 large Eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Whey protein isolate (use this kind for the crispiest results)
- 1/4 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated to create the base of your waffle batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Blend: Add the whey protein isolate, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, baking powder, and sea salt to the blender. Blend again until you have a smooth, uniform batter free of lumps.
- Preheat and Prepare Waffle Maker: Preheat your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once heated, spray the waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the prepared batter evenly onto the waffle iron, spreading it gently if needed to cover the surface. Close the waffle maker and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until there is almost no steam emitted, indicating the waffle is done.
- Cool and Crisp: Carefully remove the waffles and allow them to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. They will initially be soft when hot, but as they cool to warm, the texture becomes crisp on the outside while maintaining a tender interior.
Notes
- For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Using whey protein isolate is crucial for achieving the crispiest texture in these waffles.
- Allowing waffles to cool before eating enhances the crispiness and texture.
- Adjust sweetness with your preferred sugar substitute if desired.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
