Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (64 g / 2.26 oz) coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp (24 g / 0.85 oz) granular erythritol
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) water
  • ¼ cup (57 g / 2.01 oz) butter, melted
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (145 g / 5.1 oz) chopped ham
  • 1 cup (113 g / 4 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Butter or coconut oil, for greasing
  • These waffles freeze beautifully. Let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper between each one. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or toaster oven for a quick meal.
  • For the crispiest waffles, place them on a wire cooling rack after cooking. Stacking them on a plate will trap steam and can make them soft.
  • Feel free to customize! Swap the cheddar for Gruyère or pepper jack, or add in a tablespoon of chopped chives or jalapeños to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.

Method
 

  1. Directions1.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, erythritol, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined and free of lumps. 2.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. 3. Slowly pour the wet into the dry , whisking continuously until just combined.
  4. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid and thicken. 4.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chopped ham and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter. 5.
  6. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's .
  7. Once hot, generously grease both the top and bottom plates with butter or coconut oil. 6. Ladle the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the iron, close the lid, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown, crisp, and the iron stops steaming. 7. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter, making sure to re-grease the iron between each waffle.
  8. Don't overfill your waffle iron. This batter expands as it cooks. It's better to start with a little less batter on your first waffle and adjust as needed for the perfect size.
