KETO Egg Fast Waffles & Crepes (EASY & Delicious!)

One Egg Waffle with butter and
powdered monkfruit sweetener.
Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature or heated for 20 seconds in microwave oven)
4 organic cage free eggs
2 teaspoons Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit sweetener (or granulated sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
coconut oil spray
butter
extra powdered sweetener or sugar free syrup

Method:
Place all of the ingredients into a blender container. Blend until well mixed and smooth.
Set aside for 2 minutes so that the bubbles can settle.

For Waffles:
Preheat a waffle iron. Lightly grease with coconut oil spray. Pour about half of the batter onto the waffle iron. Cook like a regular waffle. Repeat with the remaining batter. Makes about 2 1/2 waffles. 

For Crepes/ Pancakes:
Grease a hot skillet, or griddle, with butter. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the prepared pan, Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden and a pancake turner can easily slide under the crepe. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 4 pancakes.

Serve with butter and a sprinkling of powdered sweetener or sugar free sweetener.

Notes: An "Egg Fast" is a good way to jump-start ketosis, weight loss or move past a plateau or stall. An average fast is 3 to 5 days, but some choose longer. My husband and I find that our hunger was satisfied during the fast and we both lost weight. (Him: 10 pounds Me: 6 pounds)



Variety keeps the meals from being boring. Try flavoring omelet batter with different seasonings and cheese...we used Gouda, cheddar and jack cheeses. We added garlic powder and dried chives, paprika and onion powder, sage and black pepper & a mixture of chili powder, onion powder, cumin, salt and chives, to create different flavors of omelets. (We used beaten eggs without any milk or cream.)
We also ate seasoned scrambled eggs and hard boiled eggs. I topped my hard boiled egg halves with 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayo and a few drops of sriracha sauce. These waffles and crepes are a great option, too!
