Ingredients

For the Waffles

1 cup almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp melted butter

For the Chili

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz or 425g)
1 can kidney beans (15 oz or 425g, drained and rinsed)
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups beef broth (480ml)

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little butter. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle (adjust according to your waffle iron size).
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Serve the cornbread waffles warm, topped with a generous ladle of chili. Optionally, add toppings like sour cream, diced green onions, or extra cheese.

Notes

Feel free to customize the chili by adding your favorite low-carb vegetables or spices. The waffles can be made ahead of time and reheated in the toaster for a quick meal. Enjoy this keto comfort food that the whole family will love!
