Instead of high-glycemic sweeteners, monk fruit powder is used in both the waffles and the glaze. Monk fruit is known for being much sweeter than traditional sugar, so be sure to measure when using. Look for pure monk fruit sweetener that contains no additives.
Skip The Maple Syrup
No maple syrup required: A coconut glaze is flavored with cinnamon and vanilla for a creamy topping that makes this breakfast taste like dessert.
Full-fat coconut cream adds thick texture along with coconut butter, which helps to create a glaze-like consistency. Once your pancakes are made, you can dress them up with other keto-friendly ingredients, like toasted unsweetened coconut or fresh berries.
Helpful Tips To Get You Started:
- Feed a crowd. This recipe makes four Belgian waffles, great for feeding a group or as meal prep for yourself to have on hand throughout the week.
- Have leftovers? Waffles can be reheated in the oven on a baking sheet at 300ºF for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Prep ahead. The coconut glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. When ready to use, heat over medium heat in a saucepan until smooth.
