Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 1 large extra-large egg
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons monkfruit sweetener (optional, add if you enjoy sweet waffles)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
- 1-2 teaspoons water (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, egg, cocoa powder, pinch of salt, monkfruit sweetener (if using), and 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: Add 1-2 teaspoons of water as needed to thin the mixture to your desired batter consistency, making sure it’s pourable but not too runny.
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the ideal cooking temperature.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker and sprinkle half of the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top. Close the waffle maker and cook for 2-3 minutes until no steam escapes and the waffles are crisp on the outside.
- Serve and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the machine, then repeat the process using the remaining batter and chocolate chips. Serve the waffles warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use a non-stick or well-oiled waffle maker to prevent sticking.
- If you prefer your waffles sweeter, increase the monkfruit sweetener to taste.
- These waffles are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a toaster or oven for a crisp texture.
- Adjust water gradually to avoid thinning the batter too much.
- To make this recipe nut-free, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
