Peanut Butter Waffles


Been wanting to try this for a good while. I found this recipe from r/KetoRecipes:


And this redditor also adapted this recipe from Gnom-Gnom. Soo credit to these peeps. The closest recipe I can find this redditor referenced to is the Keto Pancakes with Lupin Flour recipe. Main difference is the peanut butter powder but the notes say to substitute with peanut butter FLOUR? Any difference? I'll have to research a bit on that. 

For my recipe I halved it because personal preference and these are the products I used:


And yes, I did used a food scale. Used all these specific products with the exception of xanthan gum because I actually used NOW brand Xanthan Gum from Amazon but I figured metrics were negligible for such a small amount and I was too lazy to look it up (I forgot to tape the barcode in the food container it is stored in). 

I made mine in a mini Dash waffle maker in the size of Texas. I am not well versed in making Waffles that they turn into Pancake softness...is that what a waffle is supposed to be like? Or more crunchy?? Idk. But anyway, I have such a sweet tooth and so I used this sugar free maple syrup to help scratch that itch. 1 tbsp. 



Now that I tasted it...I am not sure if I like it. May be the xanthan gum but I feel a weird tingle in my mouth after eating. Could be big chunks of it that didn't dissolve or something. I tried to squish the chunks best I can but yeah...that almost ruins it for me. Other than that, I taste the peanut butter powder but the sweetness still didn't quite hit that itch where it felt like I was eating just plain bread. Soooo future idea but I think this might be perfect for a regular mini sandwich or even to have a chicken waffle sandwich. I'm sure there's a keto version out there to fry chicken with pork rinds or something. 

All in all...not tasty enough for me to have as a stand alone but could be great to supplement this in lieu of bread.

Using the above products the macros comes out to:

So yeah. An ideal breakfast would be a waffle with a splash of sugar free maple syrup with some fruit. It wasn't top tier for me but maybe for you?

This is a nice breakfast or snack to make ahead of time. Super easy and super minimal to make! I admittedly wasn't fond of it the first time I tried it (as it was in the beginning of my keto journey and sugar withdrawals) but when I tried it months later I have taken a 180 on it now. This recipe is from Carb Manager and the follow recipe makes 1 serving. Double up for more because I totally think you can if it fits your macros. Tips on measurements below. Here is the recipe: 1/6 cup = 2 tbsp + 2 tsp As you know, there's no 1/6 cup measurement that I know of. It is the equivalent of 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons. Carb Manager is not reliable for cutting down recipes giving you wonky numbers so you have to make your own chart and know how to navigate around this. If I have free time, I might work on a measurement equivalency chart but there might be some available on Google if you really want to see for yourself. Also, not everyone has measuring cups to measure 3/4 cup and may find...

Keto Blender Sherbet

Image
For my first recipe test for this blog I decided to do Carb Manager's  Keto Blender Sherbet . It was simple. Here is the recipe and directions. So after I mixed the gelatin with boiling water and everything else, I probably could have mixed it another minute more. I popped it in the fridge for 5 minutes and by the time I took it out, the gelatin had a thin layer of build up at the bottom of my bowl. Just to note should you do this recipe. I couldn't dissolve the chunks but oh well. Next time I'll keep it at room temp and continue mixing non stop until it gets cool enough to add to the blender. For ice I used 2 ice trays. Came out more like 2 cups. I used my pink pixel heart tray and the dollar tree store red Christmas tray. My sherbet turned out a bit more liquidy than expected but I am sure it's due to my 10 year old Ninja Blender oh and my incompetence I guess. However, I still enjoyed the hell out of it. It says it makes 2 servings but I ate t...
