Low Carb Waffle Bowl Recipe
I’m always looking for ways to keep food exciting so a low carb lifestyle doesn’t feel restrictive. I recently received a waffle bowl maker and immediately started experimenting. Instead of a standard waffle batter I tested a chocolate protein-based batter to create a low carb waffle bowl that holds together and tastes great.
This recipe works well with a chocolate meal-replacement or protein powder. I used a chocolate Ketologic Meal Shake in the test; a collagen powder didn’t perform as well for structure. The bowl is sturdy enough to hold sugar-free keto ice cream and a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup. You can also fill the bowl with keto-friendly fruit and a little whipped cream for a lighter treat.
After testing several variations, this version produced a waffle bowl with good flavor and texture without the dry or crumbly mouthfeel typical of many keto waffle recipes. It’s a special treat for the family—my kids love them—and a nice way to offer a sweet but sugar-free option at parties or family gatherings.
Low Carb Waffle Bowl Recipe Ingredients
- 1 egg, whipped
- 1 scoop chocolate meal-replacement or chocolate protein powder (I used Ketologic Meal Shake)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Low Carb Waffle Bowl Recipe Instructions
- Preheat the waffle bowl maker and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and whip until frothy.
- Add the chocolate meal replacement (or protein powder), almond flour, and baking powder to the whipped egg.
- Mix until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are combined.
- Place the batter in the preheated waffle bowl maker and cook about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. When you see steam, it’s nearly done.
- Use tongs to carefully remove the hot waffle bowl from the maker and set it aside to cool and firm up.
- Fill with keto ice cream, sugar-free syrup, or fruit and enjoy.
This makes one large waffle bowl or two mini bowls depending on your waffle maker.
