Chocolate and Vanilla Keto Waffles - from one easy recipe
I love how versatile this low carb recipe is. Vanilla and chocolate, all from the same recipe? Easy peasy, right?!
Can you freeze waffles? Yes. Remember how easy it can be to meal prep and prep for breakfast as well. Simply cook up the waffles, and freeze them in between sheets of baking paper/parchment in an airtight container.
Then, when you're wanting to serve waffles, you can just unthaw quickly and reheat. (and remember...waffles don't have to be just for breakfast...they're good for lunch and dinner, too!)
Do you have to use a waffle maker? No. You can use the waffle recipe in the frying pan and cook the batter as a traditional pancake.

Hi Libby - what size tablespoons do you use in your recipes? 20ml or 15ml?
Thanks - from Aussie who has recently discovered that the standard Australian size is different to the rest of the world!

I use a 15ml tablespoon, but to be honest, in most recipes accuracy of a tablespoon is not critical - yay!

Thank you for this. 3 weeks low carb and my kids suspect that I'm trying to kill them..hahaha. I do have one child allergic to coconut. How would this do with almond flour? And what would the measurements be coconut vs. Almond? I've gotten familiar with your site. Its giving me hope of duration wth this lifestyle change. Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure my kids had exactly the same thoughts when we transitioned to low-carb, luckily they survived too. As for this recipe, unfortunately, you cannot swap coconut flour directly for almond flour. They behave in completely different ways. You may wish to read this page - coconut flour vs almond flour. This page, has many low-carb pancake recipes, I'm sure you'll find some that are made with almond flour. And my low-carb kids page has plenty of tips too.
