Keto chocolate protein waffles are the best waffles you will ever taste. Not only are they delicious, but they do not stick to the waffle iron like most keto waffles do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I purchased a waffle iron for Christmas. Yes, I am aware that Christmas was 6 months ago. The life of a college student does not leave a lot of time for writing and editing content.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevertheless, since I couldn’t help myself so I used my new waffle iron as soon as I got my hands on it. I was craving something chocolatey, so I decided why not make chocolate waffles. Of course, I had to make these chocolate waffles healthy so I made them with almond flour and cacao powder, and they were absolutely amazing. But before we get to the recipe, let’s discuss the health benefits of cacao powder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although cacao is often compared to cocoa, it is not the same thing. Cacao is the unprocessed raw version of cocoa that can be used to create chocolate products such as cocoa powder. Nevertheless, cacao powder is loaded with beneficial nutrients. One of these potential nutrients includes polyphenols <\/a>which have antioxidant effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this, cacao may also positively impact serotonin levels, which could have an anti-depressant effect. Cacao may also inhibit obesity-dependent insulin resistance as well as prevent platelet aggregation. Furthermore, consuming cacao powder may decrease the risk of mortality associated with\u00a0cardiovascular disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
