Ingredients


3/4 cup Sunflower seed flour, partially defatted
1/4 cup Almond Flour (Blanched; (or more sunflower seed meal))
1/4 cup Flaxseed meal (ground) (golden if possible)
2 tbsp Erythritol (swerve, powdered)
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1/2 cup Whole milk 3.3% (or coconut milk or almond milk)
3 medium Egg (large)
2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
1 tsp Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions


  1. Heat waffle iron on medium-high heat.
  2. Mix everything together in a bowl with a whisk, or in a blender.
  3. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Add a bit of coconut oil to the iron if necessary. 
  5. Cook according to your waffle iron directions.
  6. Serve with choice of toppings.

Notes:

VARIATION: Omit the erythritol, vanilla and cinnamon.  Optionally, add shredded cheese and/or spices (like garlic or onion powder) either to the batter or sprinkled on top before closing the waffle iron. Use this savoury waffle as the 'bread' in a sandwich like grilled cheese or a BLT..

 

Sunflower Seed Flour- if you're not able to find this flour anywhere, it's easy to make your own by pulsing raw sunflower seeds in a food processor.

This makes 3 large waffles in my particular waffle iron.

Net carbs per serving of 1 large waffle is approximately 8.25 grams (after accounting for fibre and sugar alcohols).
