What Are Belgian Waffles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Belgian waffles are different from regular waffles as they are bigger and have a thicker consistency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because the Belgian version is normally made with waffle irons with deeper grids. These have larger pouches that are great for holding tasty toppings, like syrup or cream. Belgian waffles often have a nice golden hue and a pleasant, crisp outer shell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular waffles are made from pancake-like batter, but Belgian waffles are more indulgent, as they are made with brioche dough. The waffles are also coated with pearl sugar, which gives them a gentle crunch as you bite into them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Belgian waffle ingredients aren\u2019t suitable for anyone with dietary restrictions, as they contain a lot of carbs. They are also made with flour, so people that need to avoid grains won\u2019t be able to enjoy them either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are lots of variations of traditional Belgian waffle recipes that allow more people to enjoy their rich, indulgent flavors. The recipe below is an example that, thanks to a few ingredient swaps, is low-carb, grain-free, and paleo-friendly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients For Low-Carb And Grain-Free Belgian Waffles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main ingredient swap that makes these waffles low-carb and grain-free is the alternative flour. We\u2019re using coconut flour in this recipe, though you may see others use almond flour or a blend of both.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut flour is high in fiber, low in carbohydrates, and contains healthy fats. It\u2019s a nice choice for anyone on a grain-free or low-carb lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eggs are also essential for making the waffles fluffy. Stevia and erythritol give the waffles a nice sweet taste without any sugar. You can leave these sweeteners out if you\u2019d prefer a savory waffle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also be blending soaked cashews in this recipe. These nuts help give the waffles a nice, thick texture without the need for grain-containing flours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than improving the dish\u2019s consistency and taste, the cashews are also full of protein, fiber, and healthy fat. They transform Belgian waffles into a much healthier breakfast dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
