When eating keto, I highly encourage you to find quick and easy breakfast recipes just like this one. Make some almond flour waffles as part of your meal prep, and freeze them to enjoy for the week ahead.
Are waffles keto?
No, 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 maple syrup or honey. They are avoided on the low-carb diet and keto diet.
A traditional waffle can have up to 25g net carbs per waffle.
This keto waffles recipe, 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.

Ingredients for keto waffles
This keto sweet waffle recipe is amazing and it has a simple ingredient list.
- eggs - fresh eggs will make your low-carb waffles fluffy
- coconut flour - using coconut flour instead of almond flour makes these high-fiber and low-carb
- sweetener of choice - the most popular sweeteners are erythritol, monk fruit, allulose, and xylitol.
- baking powder - do not confuse baking powder with baking soda
- vanilla extract - or vanilla essence
- full-fat milk or heavy cream
- melted butter
All quantities, ingredients, and instructions are in the recipe card below.
Best low-carb flours to use
The most common low-carb flours to use in low-carb waffles are almond flour and coconut flour. Both are low-carb, high-fiber and naturally gluten-free.
These gluten-free waffles are made using coconut flour.
Can you swap all-purpose flour for low-carb flour?
Traditional wheat flour pancake recipes 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.
Coconut flour vs almond flour
FDA 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.”
Almond flour recipes tend to be higher in carbs than coconut flour recipes but almond flour recipes tend to be more popular because they are easier to make for beginners.
Can you swap coconut flour for almond flour?
No, you cannot directly swap coconut flour for almond flour. These gluten-free flours behave in completely different ways. Coconut flour is more absorbent and requires a large number of eggs to make the waffle recipe light and fluffy.
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 sheet pan pancakes but I provide both so you have a choice on your keto diet.
Best sugar-free sweetener to use
The best keto sweeteners to use is one that taste just like sugar but without the calories, or carbs.
The most popular sweeteners are granulated erythritol, powdered erythritol, monk fruit, allulose (it cooks and bakes with a crunchy toffee crisp just like sugar), and xylitol.
A word of caution if you use stevia drops or stevia powder. Stevia is 400 times sweeter than sugar so it needs to be diluted in liquid or powder so you can measure it accurately. Some brands of stevia are diluted in alcohol or dextrose. So read the ingredients labels very carefully.
How to make keto waffle batter
This keto waffles 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 keto waffles you'll ever make.
STEP 1: In a medium mixing bowl, add your egg whites and whisk until firm with stiff peaks.
STEP 2: In a larger bowl, mix together the egg yolks, coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder.
STEP 3: Slowly pour in the butter. Keep mixing to make sure your batter is smooth! Then add in the milk and vanilla extract and mix again.
STEP 4: Now grab your bowl of egg whites and gently fold spoonfuls of it into the yolk batter. Don't overfold or the waffles will not be fluffy.
Finally, add the batter to a prepared waffle maker. Cook until golden brown and serve with your choice of toppings!
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 mini-waffle maker or regular waffle maker or waffle iron.
How to cook keto waffles
Always spray your waffle maker with cooking spray, melted coconut oil, or melted butter to prevent the waffle from sticking.
Pour in enough batter to cover the bottom of your waffle maker. Cook until crispy on the outside and golden brown.
Carefully remove with silicone kitchen tongs or a wooden spatula and repeat until all the batter is used.
How long does it take to cook a waffle? It depends on the size and brand of your waffle iron. Some machines will cook faster than others, and pouring more batter will cook slower than a small serving size.
How to store waffles?
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 them in a panini press, or an air fryer, or microwave them. Serve with keto syrup, whipped heavy cream, and low-sugar berries,
Variations and flavors
Each low-carb waffle is simply an egg, coconut flour, your favorite 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 keto waffles.
You can make them sweet (using the recipe card below) or make savory waffles by omitting the keto sweetener and adding a pinch of salt instead.
How to serve waffles
I like to place a scoop of sweetened 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:
- Load them up with whipped cream. Whether you make the vanilla waffles or chocolate, both are fantastic with a spoonful of fresh whipped heavy cream.
- 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.
- Add nut butter. I love these keto waffles served with sugar-free chocolate spread (keto "Nutella"), almond butter, or peanut butter. Just watch the carb count!
- Keto maple syrup (or caramel syrup)
- Sugar-free chia berry jelly/jam
- Serve them the classic way. Salted butter and some sugar-free maple syrup work so well here.
- Recreate the fast food staple. Using the savory keto waffles as bread to hold a cooked egg and a sausage patty is the perfect breakfast sandwich. Then dip the breakfast sandwich into the sugar-free maple syrup.
- Make an ice cream sandwich. Toast the waffles a bit longer than usual, then fill with low-carb ice cream.
- Drop in some choc chips. Grab your favorite keto 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 flavors.
Serve them with a cup of coffee or a glass of keto-friendly unsweetened almond milk. Add some fried egg whites on the side and you have a healthy low-carb breakfast.
How many keto waffles can I eat?
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.
You can also cook half the recipe in a small mini waffle maker or cut each waffle into smaller pieces and dust with powdered sugar-free sweetener.
Award-winning waffles
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!

FAQs about this keto waffles recipe
As long as you follow keto recipes, you can definitely eat waffles on a low-carb diet. When you make keto waffles, just use low-carb ingredients and you will be sure to stay in ketosis.
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.
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.
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.
You can fry the waffle recipe in a frying pan, but then you need to call them keto pancakes. If you don't have much room, use a dash mini waffle maker.
No, baking soda is not a 1:1 replacement for baking powder.
While you are cooking each waffle you can keep the cooked waffles warm in a toaster oven set on low-medium heat, in the oven on a baking tray (baking sheet), or in a slow-cooker set to low.
Pure vanilla extract has the purest taste but it may be too expensive for most so vanilla extract or vanilla essence both work well.
Do not confuse these almond flour waffles with keto chaffles. Chaffles are made with cheese and eggs. There are a lot of different versions of chaffles, some are made with canned coconut milk, and others are made with egg whites.
This waffles recipe will make 5 regular waffles or 10 small mini-waffles.
You need to spray with cooking oil every time your pour more batter in, otherwise, each waffle will absorb the cooking oil as they bake.
These are larger and thicker than American waffles. They can hold more toppings and sauce.

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.
Ginger Weigel
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!
Saibh McGrath
Thank you, thank you. My daughter (on medical keto) loved these. We're not familiar with traditional waffles, so as far as we're concerned anyway they qualify for best ever. My expectations were definitely managed by the negative reviews but our waffles weren't eggy and we had no problem with them being flexible. They're going to be a Sunday staple in this house.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Wow Saibh, this makes me so happy to know your daughter has found a new recipe to love. If you love these waffles, I bet you will love chaffles too. There are so many sweet and savoury recipes in my free cookbook. Take a look at how to cook chaffles.
Aubry
Made them and were good. I’m not a fan of the coconut flour though. If replaced with almond flour will the waffle stuff turn out fluffy. Other than the flour thing though they were really good.
dennis richards
I made these and they turned out great. With the left over waffles i thru them in a ziplock bag and thru some powdered eyrthritol in the bag and shook them up and grab one for sweet snacks later out of the fridge.
Laurids Oppermann
I'm so in love with these carb reduced waffles, it a really good snack for the late evenings or just as a brekfeast to start the day. love it
Lucy Brown
Can't locate where to rate so hijacking your post Laurid.
I would love to know where I went wrong as mine did not turn out as described in others comments. I made enough for 2 servings. I was using my brand new waffle maker.
Lots of the mixture escaped out of the maker. The waffles were tasty but rather limp.
Any suggestions from those more versed in waffle making?
stacci
Not sure what went wrong with yours, but I've done there's a couple of times now. If the whites are feet too much it will cost them to overflow in the waffle maker. If there's not enough flour for some reason, they tend to not rise up enough. These are just my observations
Courtney Williams
I say its because you didnt wish the eggs enough. They need to be stiff.
It adds bulk to the mixture and texture
Miranda
These waffles tasted great and had good texture. They are a soft waffle not crispy on the outside at all but flavor is great. I would recommend cutting sweetner by 1/2 to 2 tblsp as they were too sweet for me (and I love sweets). I made some in belgium waffle maker and some in my mini dash waffle maker borh turned out good. The mini one will make great strawberry short cakes:). Thanks for the recipe!!
Laurids Oppermann
fantastic waffels for a carb free snack can strongly recommend
Danielle
It’s not carb free
Ole
True, but basically, which means absolutely nothing, unless you planned on eating 20+ of them...
Suji
Normally I don’t rate recipes, but I had to for this one. My entire household loves this recipe. Thank you so much! It is such a great way to use our waffle iron while still being on the keto diet!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Awesome Suji, I am touched that you have commented for the very first time, and on my website. These waffles are a firm family favourite in our household too 🙂
Stacci Hamilton
I cannot agree more. Just made these and am blown away. I would probably lower the sweetener a bit, but that's a personal preference. I love these!!!! Thanks for helping me stay on Keto track.
Jesse
Great Keto option for waffles! They were not crispy, but light, fluffy and delicious! I did not think they tasted eggy at all, and next time would even use less sweetener since we ate them with sugar free syrup and didn’t really need all that sweetener. Thank you for a great recipe that fits our new lifestyle!
Regitze Birketoft
First time around they we're extremely eggy...thats nasty. But so are scrambled eggs and I did to this recipe what I did with the scrambled eggs - i used sour cream and buttermilk insted of normal cream. For some reason sour cream equal out the nasty eggy taste and then they became alright. 2 part sour cream 1 part buttermilk
The consistency improved with this because when adding more acid I switched to baking soda instead and THAT helped with the soggy part. They got a way better surface....
I agree with the pastry chef.... there are plenty of ways to really improve this recipe....
John Smith
How much baking soda per serving did you use? Same amount as the baking powder?
I'm thinking I could just use sour cream and regular cream with just a smidge of lemon juice in it. Do you think that would work?
To make the outside caramelize (and hence "get crispier"), I'm thinking of either using allulose for the sweetener, or an inulin based brown sugar substitute (Just like sugar brown), as both of those will actually caramelize.
Any thoughts on using a waffle flavoring? Someone is sending me some for free.
Nathan
These were great, however mine turned out a grainy texture. Any advice?
Wendy
OMG!!! These tasted better than regular waffles! So glad I stumbled onto this recipe! Hubby is a carb addict with diabetes and he LOVES them. He hates anything low carb or flour less but these won him over. TYVM for this great recipe!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Brilliant!!! I am so pleased Wendy when ardent carb lovers discover my low-carb and keto recipes - and love them. If you love this, you will also LOVE chaffles. Check out this post and the FREE cookbook I am giving away with 23 sweet and savoury recipes. So easy and so yummy.
Jannike
Omg, I am Norwegian and I thought the days of eating vaffler were over now that i am eating paleo/primal keto for my health. I see lots of waffle recipes out there, but they are for belgian waffles, which are crunchier and more firm. I wanted a waffle that was more Norwegian, which is texture like a pancake, so that i could put cream cheese and berries on top, or just plain butter and cheese. These were fabulous!! To give them a slightly more norwegian taste, i added a few drops of lemon juice and a teaspoon of cardamom. Thank you sooooo much!!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
This makes me so happy, to have made a waffle that is true to your Norwegian vaffler. I absolutely LOVE the idea of lemon juice and cardamom, I'm trying that flavour combination next time I make these. Have a fabulous day Jannike! 🙂
Patti
Confused by the quantity of butter. 125 grams equals 1/2 cup, but when you use the recipe converter on this page, it shows 1 cup plus 1 T. Which it is please?
Jeff
Not sure how you arrived at your measurements but if you Google grams butter to Tbsp you get 8.81 Tbsp. Looks like they just rounded up to 9 Tbsp.
A
I used Stevia and Stevia has 4g of carbs in a teaspoon. 4 tablespoons makes this have 36g of carbs just from that. How could the recipe only make it 2.5g of net carbs? The coconut flour also has 8g of net carbs in 4 tablespoons.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
You need to check your stevia, it should be zero carbs unless it has been mixed with another powder (some brands have dextrose, other sugars or other nasties!). You may wish to read my Ultimate Guide To Sweeteners.
Gintare
Amazing waffles for keto, ive tried some other recepies previously and they didnt compare at all! I do substitute coconut flower and use almond flower instead and they come out amazing! With a topping of bacon and some mapple syrup trully yummy!
Kathy
I LOVE waffles and never thought once my husband and I started on the Keto way of eating that I would be able to have them.
These are so good. One waffle is perfect with whipped cream and berries. Of course coffee. I prefer crispy waffles and my waffle maker always browns the bottom if I do not pay attention to it telling me when they are ready. So i took each section out, turned them over to brown a bit. These are so good. So now it will be a part of our weekend breakfasts. Something to look forward to.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Yay, a mega win for the best keto waffles. I am so glad this recipe has become part of your weekend ritual, low-carb and keto living is so luxurious and tasty huh?
Anne
Hubby and I are one week into keto and doing great. Found this gem while hunting for chaffle recipes and knew we had to try it. Our waffle maker is large so this made a little under 4 full-size waffles, which was perfectly fine with us since we aren't big on leftovers. Topped with MORE butter and some sugar free "syrup," these were a delightful, decadent brunch for the two of us.
Yes, they're a touch eggy and yes, they are labor-intensive. Yes, they're floppy instead of crisp. Still, way better than expected and definitely worth repeating every now and then.
Thank you for a delicious recipe! Gonna go share now.
Lisa Bruce
I omitted the sweetener & vanilla - served savoury waffle BLTs to my husband & a friend. I didn't bother telling them it was keto - rave reviews!
Diane
I was so disappointed. I made the recipe and waited with great anticipation while my waffles cooked. They raised and when I took them out of the waffle maker they deflated. They were soft and spongy, more like pancakes, and tasty slightly eggy. I love waffles that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I did not leave out any ingredients. I wonder if beating the egg whites with cream of tartar would have helped?
I’m not having much luck with Keto breakfast pastries. The only thing that I’ve had turn out really good is the biscotti I made.
Joey
These are delicious! I am a type 1 diabetic and made these for my family this morning. The kids (1 & 6 yrs old) ate two as I was making the rest. They smelled so good and taste perfect. They are thinner than typical waffles, even with the whipped egg whites, but it doesn’t matter at all because they taste so good! I used Thrive’s Switch which is a monk fruit & erythritol blend and experienced no sweetener aftertaste. Thank you SO very much for a low carb recipe the whole family can enjoy!
Joey
I forgot to mention that my little guy is dairy free so I used salted ghee in place of the butter & full fat coconut milk in place of the cream and it worked out great!
Karen Beattie
When i entered the recipe in carb manager it comes up to 12.3 carbs how did you come up with your count?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Are you looking at net or total? What brands are you using? Did you divide by the number of servings?
Poopoomeow
I used date sugar and 2% lactose free milk and these came out so yummy with just the right amount of sweetness.
I used an electric sandwich maker bc my waffle maker is stupid. They were so fluffy; I think I'll try stuffing some with a little berry compote ?
Nikki
Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour? Would it be the same amount? I want to make this recipe today but only have almond flour and I don't want to make a trip into town just for coconut flour.
Rhya
Did you end up using it? That's all I have as well and curious to how they turned out if you did.
Madison Bauman
I did half and half and they turned out perfect
Joy Horvath
I've never made waffles before. Pre-keto it wasn't something I ate, but I recently bought a mini waffle maker to make cheese waffles, and now I tried these and they are fantastic. I just made a batch of 9 mini waffles. They are delicious and fluffy and will definitely be part of my weekly meal prep. Will be posting on the gram and tagging you! My husband, the non-keto chef, approved!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Ooooh, I can't wait to see your pictures on Instagram. For anyone wanting to see what I post on Instagram - look here.
Brigitte
I'm eating them as we speak (oho, I had 2 servings).
They are delicious.
But we are going away for 5 days. When making them the day before, how long will they be OK in an cool box (electric) in the car? We will be staying in hostels, so don't know if they have a fridge.
I can put the cooler on in the car and inside.
Thank you for another awesome recipe.
Brigitte.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
I would keep these cool in a fridge for 3 days and frozen for up to 2 months. They are a great alternative to sugary waffle, can be used as a quick and easy bread alternative and there are even keto cheesey pizza waffles too.
Deb
I made these waffles yesterday and had them with slice strawberries and whipped cream. They were amazing. My picky husband loved them as well. Thanks for so many wonderful recipes.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Thank you 🙂 That is very kind.
Tin
Booom! Even the crankiest 5yos asked for seconds! And ugh some of thse comments, it’s great though as they up my gratitude for not being a flipping negative Nelly myself. Thank you negative, whiney people!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Love it. ?
Aneesa m Shah
Hi is it possible to use coconut cream instead of milk or heavy cream? Just wondering if it would come out the same?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
You could omit the cream altogether if you prefer. It makes for a lighter waffle. Coconut cream may work, it would make it more flavoured of coconut however rather than vanilla.
Estelle
I used double cream plain yoghurt iso milk and it worked perfectly. Also I added a third teaspoon xanthan gum to see if the waffles would be less floppy. It was soft and floppy when freshly made but firmed up a few minutes later with a slightly crispy exterior but still not like wheatflour waffles. Toasting just made it floppy again. I loved it though and sincerely hope before anyone else thinks of criticizing that they offer a solution or just keep it to themselves.
Nalani Hashimoto
I just made these, no additions, ingredient per ingredient and OMG! these were amazing. I've used a lot of recipes for keto style bread, pancakes and now waffles. This was by far the one that tasted like what it was supposed to taste like. I totally get why its Award Winning. Definitely a winner in my house. Thank you so much. I even messaged another Keto friend the recipe. You Rock!
Valerie
I never leave reviews but after scrolling through most of these I decided it was time.
If I could rate these waffles higher than 5 stars I totally would. They are effing AMAZING! They’re so delicious if I hadn’t made them myself I wouldn’t believe they’re low carb.
I’m not really sure what went wrong with everyone else’s waffles but mine were perfect. I used a mini waffle maker which served 11 because I over poured but I’m certain it can stretch to 12. Due to the excess amount of servings, I shared with others and they enjoyed them as well. I also froze a few, popped them in the toaster oven tonight, and they were just as great.
When tracking my macros I found that my numbers did not match but that’s because I use a different nutrition calculator as well as different products than the originator. Research is everything- don’t rely on automated nutrition entries or expect everyone to use the same products.
I’ll definitely be using this recipe again but tweaking it slightly for my next (smaller) batch.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Oh, Valerie, this is so nice to read this morning. What a wonderfully helpful and kind review. How brilliant that you managed to make 12 mini-waffles and you even managed to freeze some leftovers! I know I am biased, but I do think these are simply the best waffles - ever! I wish I could add a 10-star rating option for you 😉
Kirsten L
Made these today and topped them with fresh swerve sweetened whipped cream, cinnamon, and sugar free peanut butter. Everybody licked their plates! Very tasty!
Vanny
Hi..My husband is lactoce intolerance, beside of butter, any other option to use?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
So your husband can tolerate butter? Sorry, it's not quite clear. If this is the case, just omit the milk/cream and these will still turn out great.
Renee
My roommate is lactose intolerant and she can have butter but it still somethings upsets her stomach so I will make ghee out of the butter first. You can also buy ghee from the supermarket. If your replacing ghee with butter just be sure to google if you need to use less first as butter is milk proteins plus fat while ghee is just the fat. I’ve done 1:1 before and my baked goods ended up not setting because there as too much oil, so you may need a little less?
Katelyn
I've made these a couple times, and they are really a lovely substitute for traditional waffles. I've tried other keto recipes for pancakes and waffles and they seem to come out grainy and blah, but these come out fluffy and light. I personally cut back the sweetener because keto sweeteners are too strong for me (roughly 2 tsp), but yea, these are great. Even my 19 month old will gladly eat them. 🙂
Heather A Pitassi
First of all, I liked the waffles. They didnt get crispy for me either but if I had the patience to put them in the toaster after I bet they would. They are made with 5 eggs- I dont know why everyone expects them to be like a traditional waffle. I just started keto- to be honest the amount of butter many keto recipes have makes me nervous! These were tasty, I spread a little ghee on top and monk fruit maple syrup.
Lily
Taste was 9/10 very nice! They seemed to burn before crisping for me but held their shape well even when drenched with keto syrup!! Great recipe enjoyed by my family for a change from eggs and bacon!!! Thank you!
Alex
I really enjoyed this recipe. Great taste but as noted by other people the waffles don't get crispy. Great for a treat if you fancy something sweet.
Ellie
I would like to make these, but unfortunately, I don't have any milk... ;,(
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
No problem, use heavy cream 🙂
Jake
This recipe doesn't make waffles.... it makes sweet, eggy, crepes with a waffle imprint. Please don't instruct me on how I did it wrong, I am a pastry chef, but my wife wanted keto waffles for Mother's Day. These aren't anything close to the "best". That's just a word to get the recipe at the top of a google search and to make money through page visits.
Alex
Just came across this recipe and this comment and am wondering why there are so many angry individuals these days. Also, I'm not up on this "like" thing that everyone is talking about but if this is how this lady makes a little coin I can't really see why this is so bad.
People lets take a step back and stop being so angry. If you don't like the recipe or thought or idea or whatever just move on. We are becoming sad little creatures. At 2 AM the individual that posted this comment obviously was venting and has bigger issues then a recipe he did not think was up to his high standards. Let's get back to the old days when we actually said kind words to people and praised them for actually sticking there neck out to do something unique when most people were satisfied living their mediocre lives...oh and if you were such a great pastry chef why not submit a better way to do this recipe and let the court of public opinion decide...let's try to work to be kind to each other rather than tear each other down...it will make the world a better place.

Thank you, Alex, for such a lovely comment to read this morning. It amazes me each and every day that people cannot be kind. My mother always taught me "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing". It also amazes me how the people who want everything here on the website free (and it is my absolute pleasure to do that) are the same ones who don't like the advertising occasionally. I too vote for kindness, making the world a better place ❤️

Great comment Alex. We can say the truth without being crude and rude.Ex. Not as crispy as I would like.
And I love how you suggest how the chef would be more productive trying to find a way to make them crisper without stomping on the poster. I think it's easier to be nasty to a person online than in person, isn't it?

Well said everyone is so busy putting people down these days its very sad. x

Criticism is not being mean or nasty. There was no name calling, the recipe is just not good. If that offends the blog owner, grow a backbone or make a better recipe. Problem solved.....

The above poster was RUDE. If he did not like the recipe, fine. He could have left it at that. But to make an ugly swipe at the owner of this page is low. If he’s a pastry chef, then why didn’t he know the ingredients weren’t going to produce the end product he wanted? Why not propose an alternative? His comments just not helpful at all.

Hi. I’m new here and just want to say I agree wholeheartedly! I don’t understand why people just want to tear others down or how they could still possibly feel good about themselves afterwards. When I was younger, I was taught to treat others the way I would want to be treated. I can’t imagine that this person would want to be talked to this way if the situation was flipped and it was their recipe.

Great comment Alex.
I was half expecting the pastry chef to add his own Keto version but alas. He was just someone with a lot of wind to blow out of other peoples sails. As a pastry chef that he is, id like him to step up and create his own Keto waffle recipe for us to try!

These were not eggy in our opinion. They were a hit in my household! These produce pancake-y waffles. Light and fluffy. We just wanted something yummy. Didnt matter if they were crispy or not. Thanks so much for sharing this!!! And ignore the angry and negative people. If you make money off of helping others find great keto recipes, then it is very well deserved.

Your review only has me questioning your pastries at this point. It comes down to this...if you want a waffle that tastes and resembles real waffles, then make a damn waffles recipe. Expectations make all the difference and I came into the making of this recipe knowing I was not making/eating real waffles but a keto (grain free) version of that. I must say I am quite impressed with this waffle for what it is and will be making it again.

I hope Jake's pastries are sweeter than his personality

These are amazing and I love them. After making them a few times I may have discovered why they are not so good for some people. If you over-whip the egg whites, the mixture separates and becomes a bit eggy. But whipping the whites just right as you would for a meringue, and they are perfect.
I only used 1 tbsp of erythritol as 4 would be way too much for my pallet, and they are perfect. I also add a pinch of salt.

I wanted to add Whey isolate protein powder to mine. Would you have a solid measurement to add to this recipe that I could use?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
I'm afraid that would be another recipe entirely and further recipe testing and development. I don't use whey protein so can't even give a "best guess". Has anyone else here tried this and give some handy suggestions?
Kim
I made these today and added 1 scoop of whey protein powder and added 1 extra tablespoon of cream. They were great. The whey protein I used was Amazon Elements Grass Fed 100% Whey Protein powder in natural vanilla flavor. I would estimate the scoop is about 2 tablespoons. There is 25 grams of protein and 2 carbs in 1 scoop.

Oh my God!! It’s true what everyone is saying!! These taste just like regular waffles, if not better than them!!!! THANK YOU so much for this delicious recipe! I put lots of butter on top and some low carb sugar free syrup and they’re delicious! You won’t regret making these.

I read your comment earlier. Came home and made this it was awesome. This is my go to waffles.
