Ingredients:
For the Waffles:
- 1 cup (200g) Skyr Icelandic yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) almond flour
- 2 tablespoons (28g) coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil for greasing the waffle iron
For the Sugar-Free Peach Jam (Optional):
- 2 cups (400g) fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Stevia or monk fruit sweetener, to taste (optional)
Instructions:
Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together Skyr yogurt, eggs, and almond milk until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with coconut oil. Pour batter onto the preheated waffle iron, filling each section about ¾ full. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the waffles cook (Optional): Prepare the sugar-free peach jam. In a saucepan, combine sliced peaches, water, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens. If desired, add a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener for extra sweetness. Taste and adjust sweetness to your preference.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately. Top with your homemade sugar-free peach jam, whipped cream, or your favorite low-carb toppings.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the waffle batter.
- Don’t have Skyr? Greek yogurt can be substituted, but the texture may be slightly different.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick and delicious breakfast.
- To make the recipe completely grain-free, use only coconut flour (¼ cup) but be aware the batter might be slightly runnier. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
These Skyr waffles are a game-changer for those on a low-carb diet. They’re easy to make, bursting with protein, and satisfy your waffle cravings without the guilt. So go ahead, indulge in a guilt-free and delicious breakfast with these fluffy Skyr waffles and homemade sugar-free peach jam!
