- Flour: Almond flour and coconut flour work together to give these waffles a nice texture and a little nutty taste.
- Sweetener: A bit of granulated sweetener adds just enough sweetness without messing with your blood sugar.
- Baking Powder: This is what makes the waffles light and fluffy by helping them rise just right.
- Large Eggs: These help hold everything together and add richness to the waffles.
- Melted Butter: This adds a buttery flavor and makes the waffles taste even better. Coconut oil works if butter isn’t available.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk: This keeps the batter smooth and easy to work with while keeping it low in carbs.
🔪 How To Make Keto Waffles
- Brush the waffle iron with oil or use cooking spray, then preheat it to medium heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sweetener, coconut flour, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and almond milk. Pour the egg mixture into the almond flour and stir until just combined.
- Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron or Belgian waffle maker; you need about ¼ cup batter per square waffle. You'll know they're ready when they are golden brown.
- Serve immediately with fresh berries, keto syrup, or any other favorite toppings.
🥫 Storing and Reheating
Store any leftover keto waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or warm them in the oven until they regain their delightful crispiness.
You can also make these low carb waffles ahead of time as an alternative to standard Eggo waffles. Feel free to make a double batch to freeze half of the waffles for later. Just let them cool completely, transfer them to a Ziploc freezer bag, and store them in the freezer for up to a few months.
Microwave or toast them after de-thawing - the toaster oven also works great!
💭 Tips and Variations
- Add a scoop of your favorite keto-friendly protein powder into the batter to increase the protein content and make these waffles a satisfying post-workout breakfast.
- For more coconut flavor, use coconut milk instead of almond milk and stir in shredded coconut into the batter.
- Turn these waffles into a savory sensation by adding dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives to the batter.
- You can make these waffles perfectly crispy by allowing them to cook a bit longer after the initial beep of your waffle iron. This extra time ensures a golden exterior while keeping the inside fluffy.
- Add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter for a chocolatey twist. Serve with a scoop of keto-friendly vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert waffle.
🍽️ What can I eat this recipe with?
The classic way to eat these waffles is with a bit of sugar free syrup. You can also pair these keto waffles with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, which you can make from heavy cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of keto-friendly chocolate sauce.
These waffles also make an excellent base for a savory breakfast sandwich or a delightful brunch spread.
👩🍳 Frequently asked questions
What are keto waffles made of?
