Ingredients
- WAFFLE
- 6 Tbsp. Almond Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Tbsp. Erythritol
- 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- Non-stick Spray (If you have an old waffle maker)
- CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
- 2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese
- 1 Tbsp. Erythritol
- 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
- 2 tsp. Leftover batter
- 1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
Instructions
- Crack an egg into a mixing bowl.
- Add your Erythritol and mix it together very well.
- Add your almond flour and cinnamon to the mixture.
- Mix this together well until there’s no lumps.
- Add your second egg and baking soda.
- Again mix it well until the batter is smooth.
- Put your waffle iron on and wait for it to get hot. You need to spray it down with some sort of non-stick spray if it isn’t non-stick.
- Fill your waffle maker with the batter and let it cook. Save a little bit of the batter (about 2 tsp.) to go into the filling. While you’re cooking find a small bowl and add your cream cheese and Erythritol.
- Next add your heavy cream, cinnamon, and a little bit of batter to it. Mix it together very well so that everything is combined. I like to leave small lumps of cream cheese in to change the texture as I’m eating the cinnamon roll waffle.
- Once your waffle is finished cooking, cut it into quarters. Add your filling to 2 of the quarters so that you can make a sandwich.
- Sandwich them together and enjoy! The waffles are a tad dry, so you need some sort of filling to thoroughly enjoy them.
