Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, granulated erythritol, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs with vanilla extract until frothy. Add buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, melted butter, and red food coloring. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spray with non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until crisp and slightly browned, approximately 3-5 minutes depending on the waffle maker. Repeat with remaining batter.
While waffles are cooking, prepare the cream cheese topping by beating together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered erythritol in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with a dollop of cream cheese mixture and additional berries or nuts if desired.
