Waffles under 200 calories


    Low Carb Waffles

    (Calculated with egg whites)

    Serving size: 1 full waffle

    Calories: 121

    Ingredients

    3 egg whites, or 2 egg whites plus 1 whole egg

    2 Tablespoons of coconut flour

    2 Tablespoon milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)

    1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    sweetener to taste, optional (I used 1 packet of stevia)

    Directions

    Whip 2 of the egg whites to stiff peaks. You can either use a hand mixer, an egg beater, or a whisk if you want a workout. Once you have stiff peaks, stir in the coconut flour, milk of choice, baking powder, sweetener, and either 1 whole egg OR 1 egg white (depending on how much fat you want the waffles to have. I have used both successfully.). Heat up your waffle iron to the highest temperature, and grease or spray it with nonstick spray. Pour in the batter (You can do it in two batches if you need to.), and cook in the waffle iron until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Pull it out, top as desired, and eat!
