Yes, You Can Still Have Cheesy Waffles While Doing Keto—Here’s How
Avocados and eggs are the go-to breakfast heroes of the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet. But sometimes, a girl just wants to bite into a perfectly pressed waffle—flour be damned. Fortunately, there’s a way to do it without breaking ketosis (the metabolic process in which your body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates—AKA the keto diet’s goal).
“One the best gifts I ever received from Matt was a waffle iron when we first moved into our new apartment one year after starting our ketogenic food blog,” says Megha Barot, who recently released the cookbook Keto Made Easy with her partner, Matt Gaedke. “I made dessert protein waffles every night for two months until I realized that savory waffles could be the perfect way to incorporate waffles into my day,” she says.
