Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoon low-fat milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Sweetener for additional taste (you could choose artificial sweetener or refined sugar)

Instructions

  1. Start off by whipping two of the three large egg whites using either a hand mixer or an egg beater. You may also use a whisker if you want some exercise. Continue whipping until you have stiff peaks.
  2. Next, add the coconut flour, low-fat milk, baking powder, a teaspoon or so of your preferred sweetener, and the remaining one large egg white. After adding in the other ingredients continue stirring.
  3. Heat your waffle iron by setting it to the highest temperature and then spray it with some non-stick spray. This will help avoid the waffles from sticking to the iron.
  4. Pour the batter you have finished preparing into your waffle iron and then proceed in cooking it for several minutes. It usually takes around four minutes to complete the process or you can cook until the waffles are good and golden brown.
  5. The last step would be to pull it out of the waffle iron and then add your topping of choice such as fresh fruits and then serve.
