    Are waffles keto?

    No, most waffles recipes are absolutely loaded in easily digestible carbohydrates then smothered in maple syrup.

    This keto waffle recipe, on the other hand, only has 2.5 grams of net carbs each! With carbs that low you can stack a few together, add melted butter, and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup with no guilt whatsoever.

    A traditional waffle can have up to 25g net carbs per waffle. A regular waffle is made with all-purpose flour, white flour or gluten-free flour. It also has added sugar and is usually served with high-sugar maple syrup.

    How to make keto waffles

    • Sheet pan pancakes served with whipped cream and sugar-free chocolate chips
      Coconut flour sheet pan pancakes
    • Almond flour pancakes stacked and cut being eaten with a fork
      Almond flour pancakes

    The easiest way to make fluffy keto waffles or fluffy keto pancakes is to use coconut flour or almond flour. Almond flour pancakes are higher in carbs than coconut flour pancakes but I provide both so you have a choice on your keto diet.

    Traditional wheat flour pancakes can't be easily swapped to use almond flour or coconut flour. These two low-carb flours behave completely differently. So my suggestion is to always cook a breakfast pancake that has already been developed using these new healthy low-carb flours.

    This keto waffle recipe tastes just like a regular pancake house waffle because I add sweetener, melted butter, and vanilla essence. They're cooked in a waffle maker (or waffle iron) to be the best cooked waffles you'll ever make.

    Why are keto waffles so versatile?

    Keto gluten free waffles are an easy healthy coconut flour recipe that your kids will love for breakfast or a lunchbox filler.

    Because they're not made with almond flour, they're perfect if your school has a nut-free policy.

    These low carb keto waffles can be frozen and are made with simple pantry ingredients. 

    You know what means, right? This is the perfect meal prepping recipe that's keto and convenient.

    Whip up a batch and freeze for busy weekday mornings!

    Ingredients

    This waffle recipe is amazing and it has a simple ingredient list.

    • eggs
    • coconut flour
    • sweetener of choice
    • baking powder
    • vanilla extract or vanilla essence
    • full fat milk or heavy cream
    • melted butter

    All quantities, ingredients, and instructions are in the recipe card below.

    Equipment

    To mix this together you'll need the standard mixing bowl. But, most importantly, you'll need a waffle maker or waffle iron. You can even use a a mini-waffle maker or regular waffle maker or waffle iron.

    Always spray your waffle maker with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent the waffle from sticking.

    • Mixing bowl with egg yolks and vanilla
    • Mixing bowl with vanilla
    • Mixing bowl with melted butter
    • Mixing bowl with keto waffle dough
    • Peaks of whipped egg whites
    • Mixing bowl with egg whites folded into waffle mixture
    • Mixing bowl with egg whites folded into waffle mixture
    • Mixing bowl with waffle mixture and cocoa powder

    Variations

    Each low-carb waffle is simply an egg, coconut flour, your favourite sugar replacement and some butter (plus a few other ingredients to make them rise and tasty).

    You can adapt the basic waffle recipe by adding vanilla extract or cocoa powder to make vanilla or chocolate waffles.

    Serving

    I like to place a scoop of sweetened whipped cream on the top of my pancakes and sprinkle them with sugar-free dark chocolate chips and roasted macadamia nuts. But there are so many other toppings for keto pancakes.

    The best part about making these keto waffles is eating them! Here are a few ideas for how to serve this breakfast staple:

    • Keto maple syrup (or caramel syrup)
    • Sugar-free chia berry jelly/jam
    • Load them up with whipped cream. Whether you make the vanilla waffles or chocolate, both are fantastic with a spoonful of fresh whipped cream.
    • Serve them the classic way. Melted butter and some sugar free maple syrup work so well here.
    • Recreate the fast food staple. Use the keto waffles as bread to hold cooked egg and a sausage patty. Then dip the breakfast sandwhich into the sugar free maple syrup.
    • Add nut butter. I love these keto waffles served with sugar free chocolate spread, almond butter or peanut butter.
    • Drop in some chocolate chips. Grab your favourite sugar free chocolate chips and drop them into the batter before you add them to the waffle maker.
    • Experiment with spices. Add some ground cinnamon or ginger if you like different flavours.
    • Serve with berries. Cut each keto waffle in half, spread each half with cream cheese and add some berries such as fresh strawberries or fresh blueberries inside.
    • Make an ice cream sandwich. Toast the waffles a bit longer than usual, then fill with a low carb ice cream.

    Serving size

    The nutrition panel below shows the nutrition for one waffle. 2.5 g net carbs, 6.8 g protein, 25.6 g fat, 277 calories.

    Most readers like to eat two or more waffles for breakfast. It really depends on how many carbs per day you enjoy and what you decide to serve alongside. You can reduce the carbs by only omitting any fresh fruit and only serving with melted butter, keto syrup, or whipped heavy cream.

    Storage

    These healthy waffles can be frozen in between sheets of baking paper/parchment, in an airtight container.

    Simply remove one or two frozen waffles at a time and pop them in the toaster or toaster oven, cook in a panini press or microwave them. Serve with keto syrup, whipped heavy cream, and fresh berries,

    Note On Nuts: “The FDA lists coconut as a tree nut but in fact, coconut is a seed of a drupaceous fruit. Most people allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut. Coconut allergy is reasonably rare. If you are allergic to tree nuts, talk to your allergist before adding coconut to or eliminating coconut from your diet.”

    FAQs about this keto waffles recipe

    Can I substitute out the coconut flour for almond flour?

    Sorry, but definitely not! Almond flour and coconut flour are very different from each other and can not be used interchangeably.

    If you dislike coconut flour, I'd suggest trying a different recipe such as these almond flour pancakes.

    What else can I make with a waffle maker?

    I am quite picky about what tools I allow to take up space in my kitchen. That being said, I absolutely love my waffle maker! I use it for this recipe, but also use it often to make chaffles.

    How can I make these keto waffles crispy on the outside?

    Soggy waffles usually occur when there is too much moisture in the batter. Make sure to carefully measure your ingredients and give your waffle iron a bit of oil to help fry these on.

    Do I need a waffle maker?

    You can fry the waffle recipe in a frying pan, but then you need to call them keto pancakes.

    Can I make these almond flour waffles?

    No, you cannot swap coconut flour for almond flour. You can however make my almond flour pancakes instead.

    UPDATE: I just have to share with you today the best comment I received for these keto waffles. I will now be addressed forevermore as the Keto Goddess, please 😉

    Every low carb/keto waffle recipe on Pinterest, have all been crap. Today was different. Big time different. Life altering different. Angels singing in my mouth different. Even my husband, who is unimpressed with all things Keto, couldn’t stop saying Wow… WOW…. These are legal???

    Libby, you have just won the “Best Keto Waffle In The Entire World” award, which is apparently just my undying gratitude. You have changed my life for real, because now I can be excited about weekend breakfasts again. You are a Keto Goddess and I bow to you.

    Thank You!

      Hi! I would love to try these, as I can't have gluten and am trying to cut back on carbs.
      My question is how many waffles does this make? My waffle maker is quite big. Bigger than my open hand (my hands are quite large for a woman). I don't necessarily need to fill the waffle maker, but am curious if this makes one waffle or more? I don't know if it's easier, but how big of a waffle does this make?
      I look forward to trying this, but it doesn't sound like a ton so I will have to make more than one batch to freeze.
      Thank you!

        Hi EllieMae, this recipe serves 5 medium-sized waffles, so you will have to see how many waffles it makes in your own machine then adjust the nutrition accordingly. Alternatively, you can just scoop 1/5 of the mixture into the centre of your [eafl id="35890" name="Waffle maker large" text="waffle maker"] (enough for a medium waffle) and it will only half fill your machine to make a regular, not large, waffle. (I hope that makes sense).

          Delish! Had to adjust the amount of batter in the waffle maker due to the excess that dripped out. These were light and fluffy and didn't need any syrup! Made them on my Belgian waffle maker and my mini. Funny thing, I may have used 1 more egg than I needed because I miscounted. (I quadrupled the recipe for freezing) and 20 eggs was a lot to separate! Will certainly make more when these run out.

          I've been low carb for years and I gave up on substitutions for bread. I Dont enjoy most keto breads. Glad I can enjoy waffles again tho!

      I’m anxious to make these, but I I wonder if anyone has tried this recipe with a cast iron waffle maker? All the low-carb recipes we’ve tried so far have made a sticky mess, which I’d rather avoid creating again. 😉

      I tried these for the first time today, and I have to say they are amazing! They have such a great flavour, I didn't even bother with the sugar-free maple syrup that I bought for them!! My waffle maker is a mini one, so my plan for breakfast this week is 2 mini waffles with a sausage patty between them - the perfect breakfast sandwich! Thanks for such a simple, tasty recipe.

        The suggested serving size is 1 waffle, however, many readers enjoy 2 but cut back on the berries and cream to cut back on the optional extra carbs.

            I tried this recipe as stated and used a quarter cup measure. It would spill over the sides a bit of my mini waffle maker. I got 9 waffles. If you use a scant 1/4 cup measure it should come out to 2 waffles per serving. It does not look like it would be enough to make a waffle but the batter expands quite a bit during cooking. It is quite sweet but yummy. I did not do the coco version.

        AMAZING!! These waffles are so good I feel guilty eating them! I love waffles so I have tried just about all of the keto-friendly recipes out there. Some were okay, some were horrible, some were good, BUT, as with many keto recipes I have tried, they were good...for being keto friendly. With this recipe there is no dot.dot.dot......they are GOOD! I gracefully bow down to you My Waffle Highness....my respect and admiration you have won 🙂

      AAHHHHHMMMMMAAAAZZZZZIIIIIIINNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! Seriously for all the haters out there smh - IT WILL NEVER be the same, because it's NOT the same, we are looking for similar alternative. I have been following a low carb lifestyle for almost 3 years now. This is the first keto recipe that I have found that even remotely comes close to the real deal. It is a tad too coconutty for my preference, however, with SF maple syrup I couldn't taste to coconut flavor anymore. (They're really good with SF choc. chips too!) I mean even my 11 year old boy, who usually has regular waffles, likes this recipe. Thank you VERY much for sharing the love!

        Oh wow MKLyon, I love this! I totally agree. Low-carb and keto recipes will NEVER be the same as regular ultra-processed junk food (because that's what they are in reality) that has been "formulated" to be as addictive as possible (yes, it's true sadly). These bad boys are so much better. I am absolutely thrilled your son loves them as much as he does, that is a real win in my book. Thank you for such a fabulous review today 🙂

      I’m accustomed to being disappointed by keto recipes, so I was not expecting these waffles to be as good as they are. Super super satisfying. I only added about half the egg white, so I didn’t find them “eggy” like some of the other reviewers did. For the milk and cream, I used two tablespoons of canned coconut milk and two tablespoons of sour cream. I also added nutmeg. Highly recommended.

          Yes, you can freeze these waffles. Place the cooked waffles on a wire rack and wait for them to be cool and stopped steaming. Then place in an airtight container, with a layer of baking parchment between each waffle. When you want to enjoy a waffle, simply remove 1 or 2 from the freezer and toast, fry, microwave or pop them back in the waffle maker to reheat. They're also delicious served cold as a sweet sandwich bread with cream cheese and berries inside.

      Not awful, Not amazing
      I followed the recipe precisely, only decreasing the sweetener to 2T (very sweet), and I can't say this is the one recipe that would end my search for a low-carb waffle. They are "eggy" and I was not surprised by that. I did add some cinnamon to the last of the batter and that was nice. Kind of feel bad using all that butter (was hoping it would make up or overcome the egginess) in something I didn't end up loving, haha. I wonder if some waffle irons are better for this recipe than others?

        Thank you for your honest review. I think there is a vast difference in the brands of coconut flour we all use. Some brands are able to "mop up" butter better than others. Maybe next time, add an additional tablespoon or two.

      I might try these, but one look at the fat content and it seems to me that you are changing carbs for fat. Not a good exchange in my book just to call them "KETO". You'll be skinny, but you'll have heart disease! haha!

      These waffles turned out so fluffy! As some reviewers have mentioned they do taste slightly “eggy”, but I don’t mind that flavor. I have Celiac and follow a lower-carb eating style, so I’m always looking for delicious recipes like this.

      I used erythritol with monk fruit for the granulated sweetener. I made (and immediately ate) 2 servings. It was enough to make just under 5 mini waffles. I used salted butter, and it was perfect. Event though I was rough folding the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites it still turned out fluffy! I’d recommend putting a little less of the mixture into the waffle iron than you think you need because the heat seems to cause the bubbles to expand quite a bit.

      I’ll definitely be making these again!

          I did follow the recipe. But I did not have heavy cream. I had extra creamy Oat milk. Would that have been a difference! They were not light, fluffy or crunchy. They were flat and rubbery. Though with a little monk fruit maple syrup and some strawberries they tasted ok. But like others have said a lot of work for a disappointing turn out. I did whip the egg whites till firm, they were beautiful. I folded them carefully. But got a soggy limp waffle. What could I have done differently?

            It was the oat milk substitution. It has a completely different fat and protein profile than heavy whipping cream so the keto waffle batter would have been a little soggy PLUS needed extra cooking. Both of these factors would make your waffles not light and fluffy. It takes a long time to develop these recipes, and I completely understand when you have to replace substitute an ingredient but the end result will be very different I'm afraid.

      So I made these and they came out ok. They are not firm very saggy. They do hold together. They are not light and fluffy. I've been eating keto for 3 years but I've always used almond flour. I am trying to stay away from nuts so I decided to try coconut flour version. I was worried when I saw all the butter. I think that is why they came out so rubbery. They tasted ok. But usually with my keto waffles I don't need to add anything to make them sweet. The syrup is enough. Now with that said I would omit the butter. Use----
      1/3 cup coconut flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional, 1 cup coconut cream unsweetened or coconut cream and a little water, 2 Tablespoons coconut oil, 3 eggs, Mix it all together. Let it sit!!!! Stir each time you make another waffle. Use a 1/3 cup measure to pour it out on the griddle.

      Came out totally flat and rubbery, I ended up adding twice as much flour (I used almond flour) and they still tasted eggy and rubbery. I did have to make a few substitutions, but even so I would rate this 1-star because I want a user-friendly recipe and one that can accept substitutions and creativity. This recipe requires messing up three bowls (egg yolks, whites, dry goods), requires making merangue, and apparently needs to be followed precisely. Not something I'll be making again: too persnickety for something that doesn't even taste good.

        Hey there Danielle, I'm sorry to read of your recipe predicament. If you used almond flour, I'm afraid you didn't make my recipe! If you are new to low-carb and keto you may be unaware that coconut flour and almond flour are NOT interchangeable and require quite a lot of recipe development to get the ratio of flour, liquid and protein to be correct. With most of my recipes, I welcome "substitutions and creativity" but using the recipe as stated should always be your starting point. You may wish to read The Ultimate Guide To Low-Carb Flours which explains this further. So yes, I am "pernickety" where flours are concerned, as you discovered, it makes all the difference between a recipe that is a success (this is the most popular waffle recipe on the site) and those that fail.

        Seriously?

        You're giving it 1 star because you didn't follow the recipe, and it didn't work?

        Of course it wasn't crispy with almond flour. Almond flour doesn't go crispy.

        It's like saying "the recipe called for milk, but I used chicken stock instead, and it wasn't very creamy"

        In the history of unfair reviews, this is one of the worst I've seen.

      This was a game-changer! I’ve been searching for the perfect coconut flour waffle recipe. I’ve tried so many and some were too eggy, others too dense, a few were too gritty, etc etc. This one? This one was amazing! Even my lacto-ovo vegetarian teenager was a fan & wants to put it in the regular dinner rotation! A miracle!! Light and fluffy - dare I say almost indistinguishable from the original wheat flour variety. I added about a cup of whole blueberries to the batter right at the end and gently folded in. Absolutely divine! Thank you!!

        Awesome. You might want to check your sucralose, however, just check the nutrition label to see if it has been diluted with ingredients such as maltodextrin for example. The Ultimate Guide To Sweeteners - what to use and what to avoid, will help you.

            That's a shame, everyone loves these award-winning waffles. Maybe you needed to add more vanilla or sweetener perhaps? It's the butter that gives the waffles their amazing rich flavour. ?

      I was so so impressed by these. Fabulous! We did pancakes. So glad to not use almond flour (so not a fan).
      BUT I’m so confused by your amounts. You’re saying 2.5 net carbs per serving (carbs minus the fiber), but 5 servings and the whole things is 4.5 carbs? Wouldn’t it be 12 net carbs according to your calculations? However, I put it in Carb Manager and I comes up as 9 g of net carbs for the whole recipe. Please advise 🙂

        Followed recipe. Each time the batter hit the waffle maker liquid would come dripping out all over the place. They were very eggy as well. The kids du]id like them though.

      Made these today, March 16, 2020 and they were great! The recipe is a little involved but well worth the results. The only thing I found was it only made 2 1/4 waffles, so maybe I filled my waffle maker too full. They were really good! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

      Made these today with my Dash mini waffle maker (makes a perfect 4” waffle for breakfast sandwiches). I used Allulose for the sweetener, so they weren’t too sweet. I also added 10 drops of OOO flavors keto French toast. Made these waffles taste like a far less sweet McGriddle. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly as written. Using two tablespoons of batter per waffle, it made 14 mini waffles. Perfect for hubby’s breakfast sandwiches for the week.

      Thank you so much!
