Just wondering how much of a nutritional difference using the extra coconut flour in place of the protein powder? Anxious to try this.

Martina @ KetoDiet 7 months ago #

Hi Arena, that will be insignificant as it's just 1 tablespoon (less than 0.5 g net carbs per waffle). I hope you like it!

Just wondering what can be used in place of the eggs?

Martina @ KetoDiet 4 years ago #

You can try "flax egg" or "chai egg" instead. You can make them by mixing flax meal or chia seed meal with water: 1 tbsp flax/chia sees meal + 3-4 tbsp water for every egg.

I love this recipe! But is it possible not to include stevia or Erythritol? I don't eat sweetners 😊

I think it depends on you palate. Pumpkin is mildly sweet so it might be ok, especially with all the spices 😊

Hi Martina, I have noticed different pumpkins have different carbs values etc, if I was trying to stay as low carb as possible should I worry about what type of pumpkin purée I make, e.g butternut pumpkin purée, I know quarter cup isn't excessive, I suppose I could take out the pumpkin and spices for a simple waffle version and make pancakes out of them, I know they wouldn't be the same though!!

Martina @ KetoDiet 5 years ago #

Yes you can do that but I wouldn't worry too much. 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree will be almost the same for different types of winter squash. Or just use the pumpkin spice mix and add some coconut milk or coconut oil if the mixture is too dry 😊

Did I miss where to add the protein powder? I don't see it on the directions, just the ingredients.

Martina @ KetoDiet 6 years ago #

Hi Jaime, it' where it says to add the coconut flour (coconut flour is a possible substitute) - I'll add it now, thanks 😊

I assumed that's where it went, but thank you just the same for updating the recipe. I made these last night and then again today, they're so good! I just discovered your site a few days and I love all the recipes I've tried (I bought the ebook). I've been doing keto for 6 months and this a godsend.

Thank you Jaime! If you ever find something missing, please, let me know. I'm glad you like my book 😊

These are FABULOUS! We used all coconut flour as we didn't have the protein powder and they worked great! Thanks for the options making them user friendly to all! Love your recipes and your blog! Thank you for making this lifestyle "livable"!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your words! 😊

Am I missing something? The recipe says baking soda but I don't see where to add it?

Good point! Thank you for telling me - I'll add it now.

I don't have a waffle maker, can I make pancakes out of these?

KetoDiet 6 years ago #

Sure you can 😊 I didn't have a waffle maker until later this summer and used to make these as pancakes. You can make 2 big pancakes or many small. I always make small pancakes - they are easier to handle (1/2-1 ladle per pancake).

I made them this morning as pancakes, My girlfriend and I loved them. Thanks so much for the recipe, we are now feeling the fall spirit!

Thank you for the support and kind words!

I only had chocolate whey protein, so did it this morning with coconut flour only (it works with 2-3 tablespoons. Thanks!
