Ingredient Notes

Konjac Root Extract: You know those shiritaki noodles? This is what the most basic ones are made of. It is also used in some Japanese egg replacer products. I almost didn't include this in the online waffle recipe. 

It is actually one of the most handy thickeners I've played with. You can turn anything liquid, at any temperature, into gravy (or jelly if you add too much). I have sprinkled/ whisked it into my hamburger pan drippings to turn it into something of a gravy when my fat macros are low. Maybe put it in a shaker if you want to try this.

For the waffles, it makes the finished dough just a bit fluffier. It is also a fiber, with all of the benefits and drawbacks there of. For a long time carnivore, any fiber can be... noticeable. I've stopped using it regularly in my recipe if I'm the only one eating them. But if you feel like playing with it, my konjac root (glucomannan) is from bulksupplements.com, and can be purchased directly or through Amazon.

Ingredient Swaps Working Lists

Below are my notes from over the years for subbing ingredients. Why are there non-carnivore/keto/AIP ingredients listed? Because it works better if you have a list of somewhat equivalent items that your are coming from and going to. 

Surprisingly, I have found that starting with a vegan recipe can be useful for creating a dairy and egg free carnivore version of something. Remember to think about the chemical properties of things when you make swaps.
