Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 Eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons Sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar substitute until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and gently mix until a smooth batter forms; do not overmix.
In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. This step adds airiness to the batter.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula, making sure not to deflate the air bubbles.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a nonstick spray or brush with a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount depends on your iron’s size) and close the lid.
Cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, usually between 4–6 minutes, based on your waffle iron. Repeat for the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with fresh fruit, sugar-free syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar substitute as desired.
