Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 6 egg whites
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 2 cups walnut flour
• 2 cups almond flour
• ½ teaspoon liquid stevia
• ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Mix walnut flour, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and stevia together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Mix melted butter and applesauce together in a measuring cup, adding only enough applesauce so mixture is 1/2 cup.

Step 4

Beat egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer until fluffy and stiff peaks form. Remove 2/3 of the beaten egg whites and set aside in a bowl.

Step 5

Place flour mixture and butter-applesauce mixture in the bowl of the stand mixer with the remaining egg whites; beat on low using the stirring paddle until batter is thoroughly combined. The mixture will be dry. Fold reserved egg whites into batter until incorporated.

Step 6

Ladle 1 to 2 scoops batter into the preheated waffle iron; cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Repeat with remaining batter.
