How to make low sodium waffles

Step 4: Add the whisked dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Step 5: Spray the waffle maker, then scoop roughly ½ a cup of waffle batter onto the hot waffle iron.

Step 6: Transfer the cooked waffle to the preheated oven. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron between each one.
Serve hot with all your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Toppings to serve with your waffles
If you’re following a low-sodium and/or low-carb diet, you’ll want to make sure your toppings fit with your nutrition goals. Besides that, the sky is the limit!
Personally, I like to keep it classic with sugar-free maple syrup and a pad of butter on top. To me, that combination just can’t be beat.
You can also chop up fresh berries to add some delicious flavor while keeping your carbs low. A drizzle of peanut or almond butter never hurts either!
Want to treat yourself? A handful or two of stevia-sweetened chocolate chips is my go-to! And of course, a little whipped cream on top always puts a smile on my face.
Storage
Leftover waffles make for a great grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week! You can store any extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
When you’re ready to enjoy, you can heat them up in the oven or toaster. I also think they’re pretty tasty straight out of the fridge.

Can I use all purpose flour?

You can, but it will no longer be a low-carb recipe. You might also need to add a bit more moisture/fat as regular flour doesn’t hold as much as almond flour
