Instructions

For the 'sourdough' keto batter

Add yeast and inulin (or maple syrup) to feed the yeast to a large bowl. Heat up heavy whipping cream with water to 105-110°F, and if you don't have a thermometer it should only feel lightly warm to touch. Pour water over yeast mixture, cover bowl with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 7 minutes. The mixture should be bubbly, if it isn't start again (too cold water won't activate the yeast and too hot will kill it).
Mix your flours while the yeast is proofing. Whisk thoroughly together lupin flour, golden flaxseed meal, almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once your yeast is proofed, whisk in the eggs, room temp melted butter (you don't want to scramble the eggs or kill the yeast!) and vinegar. Add the flour mixture in two batchesr. Your batter will be thick, but 'elastic'.
Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm draft-free space for 1 hour. I like to turn on my oven until *just* warm (think a summer day at the beach!), and let it hang in there. Note that after it has doubled in size, you can cover it and pop it in the fridge overnight.

For the cinnamon butter

Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly and set aside.

For the cream cheese glaze

Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly, adjusting the texture with almond milk (or milk of choice) until pourable. Set aside.

To assemble

Heat up your waffle iron (if available use a lower heat setting, as keto batters prefer a slower 'cook'). Butter it super duper well and spoon a couple tablespoons of the batter. Using the back of a spoon, create some swirls in the batter, and pour cinnamon butter on top (it'll settle in the grooves).
Cook for 7-11 minutes until fully golden and cooked through. I've found that cook time varies a lot here (takes longer in a Belgian-style iron, for e.g.), so I def suggest doing a test run here.
Serve right away with a generous drizzle of cream cheese glaze. Though I've found that these can be stored for a couple days in an airtight container, and crisp up quite well once again. But nothing quite beats a fresh waffle, iykwim. :)

Notes

*I've found that the texture of these waffles comes out best when using a mixture of heavy whipping cream and water. But you can also do all half and half, or sub with half milk of choice (almond, etc) + 1 egg (and skip the water!).
