Keto blueberry waffles with lemon cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- Half cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Three-quarter almond flour
- One-quarter tapioca flour
- Half cup unflavored whey protein powder
- Half a teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- One-quarter teaspoon of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol sweetener
- Half cup frozen wild blueberries
For the frosting:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Quarter teaspoon lemon zest
- One-quarter powdered erythritol
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Directions:
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place them in separate bowls.
- In the egg yolk bowl, add the milk, butter, and vanilla. Whisk until combined, and set the mixture aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and erythritol.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just enough to combine them.
- Beat the reserved egg whites with a handheld mixer until stiff. Peaks from about 3 minutes. Fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Gently stir in the blueberries.
- Use a quarter cup measure to pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Bake according to your waffle iron’s instructions.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the waffles are cooking, make the frosting:
- Combine the butter and cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a handheld mixer for 1 minute, or until smooth.
- Add the vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest and beat until combined, about 20 seconds.
- Beat in the almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
- Spread the frosting over the waffles. Serve them immediately.
