Baked: Almond Pecan Waffles

Nutty low carb waffles.

Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup ground almond flour
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup whey protein
1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat waffle iron, oiling if necessary to prevent sticking.

2. Mix dry ingredients, including nuts, together in a small bowl.

3. Beat softened cream cheese and two eggs until smooth. Add remaining eggs one at a time and beat thoroughly between additions.

4. Beat in the heavy cream.

5. Fold in the dry ingredients. Do not overbeat at this stage or waffles will be tough.

6. Spoon about 1/3 cup batter into hot waffle iron and cook for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. These waffles will brown a little earlier than their high carb cousins, so keep an eye on them.

7. Remove to serving plate, top with maple surple, commercial low carb syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream.
