Light Italian Pizzelles

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated calorie free artificial sweetener (see note at the bottom)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Recipe

• 1 melt the coconut oil and set aside to cool. heat the pizzelle maker.
• 2 in a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar.
• 3 add the cooled melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut extract and water.
• 4 sift flour and baking powder then add to the egg mixture. batter will be sticky. if batter is too thick, add a bit more water.
• 5 spray a small cookie scoop inside and out with a no-stick cooking spray. drop a scoop of cookie dough onto the centre of the hot pizzelle machine. i cook mine for between 60 seconds and 70 seconds. each machine heats differently and it depends on how dark you like your pizzelles.
• 6 place pizzelles on a cooling rack. once cooled, store in an airtight container to keep crispy.
• 7 note: use a calorie free sweetener that replaces sugar cup for cup. if you are using regular granulated sugar instead of the sweetener, do not add the 1/2 cup water.
