A classic Vietnamese favorite - pandan waffles- made into a low carb version! Keto waffle batter is flavored with pandan extract and then cooked until GBD (golden brown and delicious). The brown exterior gives way to a bright green center that is soft and moist. Top the final pandan waffles with a sprinkling of powdered erythritol to make it pretty. Serve it nice and hot, just like the street vendors would! ### Where can I find pandan extract? You can find pandan extract at your local Asian market. Pandan extract is sold on large online retailers like Amazon. ### What is pandan’s taste? Pandan extract has a light, almost green tea/almond flavor. It is very nice and subtle. Not to mention, the color is stunning! ### How do I make sure the waffle does not separate in the waffle iron? Keto waffles are very delicate! The trick is to ignore the light on the waffle iron that signals that the waffle is done cooking (because it will not be done). Place the waffle iron on medium heat. Spray the waffle iron very generously with a high temp cooking spray (like a grill version). Place the batter into the iron and allow it to cook for 6-7 minutes. Very, very gently begin to open the iron and make sure the waffle starts to release from the iron. If not, use a butter knife to help to pull it off the waffle iron before opening the waffle iron all the way. If you open the waffle iron before the waffle is finished cooking, it will split in two. ### Serving suggestion Serve Low Carb Pandan waffles with other Vietnamese dishes like Keto Caramelized Fish.

How to make Low Carb Pandan Waffles

Begin by combining all the dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Use a whisk to incorporate the dry ingredients.
Add in the wet ingredients. You do not need to premix the wet ingredients together; simply add them to the dry ingredients. Mix the wet and dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until combined well with no lumps. Add the pandan extract and mix well.
Preheat waffle iron on medium heat until hot. Usually, a light will come on to show it is ready. Heavily spray the waffle iron with a high temp non stick cooking spray like one made for a grill—place ¼ of the batter into the waffle iron.
Try not to spread it around much with a rubber spatula, as this could make it stick more to the waffle iron later on. Close the lid of the waffle iron and allow the waffle to cook for 6-7 minutes. The cook time will be longer than the waffle iron’s settings, which you will want to ignore. You want to be looking for a nice golden brown waffle, but even after it is brown, it will still need some more time to cook. Do not check the waffle before the 6-7 minutes are up because this will spilt the waffle in half and stick to the waffle iron. Once the time has elapsed, gently lift the iron and peek to see if the waffle is starting to release from the iron. If it looks golden brown but is not releasing, use a butter knife to begin releasing the waffle gently. The waffle will still be very delicate at this point. Gently slide a spatula underneath the waffle and gently transfer it to a plate.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the hot waffles with additional powdered erythritol.
