THE BEST KETO WAFFLES
This keto waffle recipe is one of my favorite keto breakfast recipes to make on the weekend.
Now, you may be wondering what makes this recipe different from the rest. Well, the taste & texture of these waffles are what sets them apart. They turn out with an ideal balance between soft, crispy, and chewy instead of being dry and eggy.
Then, if you top them off with my sugar free keto maple syrup, you'll set yourself up for the best breakfast you've had since you started eating low carb.
And you won't believe these low carb waffles have just 3 NET CARBS each - including putting on as much maple syrup as you want!
Plus, what I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make. All you have to do is blend up your ingredients and then let your waffle maker do the rest.
INGREDIENTS
- Eggs- I used large eggs.
- Butter- for an amazing buttery flavor. It'll need to be melted.
- Milk- I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- Vanilla extract- to enhance the flavors.
- Almond flour- for the base of the batter. I like to use the blanched almond flour from Blue Diamond.
- Granulated erythritol- to add a touch of sweetness that makes the flavor so addictive.
- Baking powder- for extra fluffy waffles.
- Salt- just a pinch only if you use unsalted butter.
Like I said, all keto staples. I use all of these ingredients to make some more classic keto breakfast recipes like my keto coffee cake and 1-minute keto pancakes. So you can put all of your ingredients to good use and make those for breakfast next!
By the way, another really, really tasty breakfast to make yourself is this keto overnight oats recipe. It takes just minutes to prep, and it turns out so good - especially if you pair it with one of these low calorie coffee drinks.
MY KETO FLOUR SUGGESTIONS
Now let's get into a couple of the ingredients we will be using.
If you haven't put it together already, we will be making almond flour waffles. So, of course, almond flour is one of our main ingredients that will keep this recipe low carb.
But if you are allergic or want some other options, you can also use an equal amount of walnut flour or sunflower seed flour in place of the almond flour. All of these flours above are low carb and will create light and fluffy waffle deliciousness.
With that said, you DO NOT want to use coconut flour as a substitute. It is a more absorbent flour, and using it as your main flour to make these waffles will dry them out and make them too crumbly.
MY KETO SWEETENER SUGGESTIONS
Ok, so I'm going to let you in on a little secret - something I add to this recipe to elevate the flavor of the waffles is Granular Swerve.
Granular Swerve is a 0 calorie, 0 carb sweetener that will add a lovely touch of sweetness to this recipe.
Now, another sweetener you can use that will do the same thing is Lakanto's Monkfruit Sweetener. It also has no calories or carbs with the same amount of sweetness as sugar.
HOW TO MAKE KETO WAFFLES
Step 1: Make the batter. First, take out your blender if you haven't already. Then add in your wet ingredients first - the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Next, add all of your dry ingredients to the blender - the almond flour, granular swerve, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients. Once all of your ingredients are in, blend everything on high for several minutes. A pro tip here is the longer you blend your ingredients, the fluffier your waffles will be!
Step 3: Cook the waffles. Now, coat the top and bottom of your waffle iron with non-stick baking spray or melted butter. Next, add half of the batter to the waffle maker and cook until your waffle is fluffy and golden brown. Typically when steam stops coming out of the iron, the waffle should be done. Remove the cooked waffles, transfer to a wire rack, and repeat with the remaining batter. Top them off with some butter and a drizzle of my sugar free syrup I mentioned earlier, and dig in!
How I Recommend Storing and Reheating Leftovers
If you and your family can't finish all of these off, you can store them in a sealed Ziploc bag in the fridge for about 3 days.
Now, I don't know about you, but I grew up eating frozen waffles. And my favorite part about this recipe is you can freeze any waffles you don't eat! But these are so much better than frozen waffles from the store. Just wait for your waffles to cool, put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag once frozen. You can freeze them for up to 4 months!
To reheat the refrigerated or frozen leftovers, I like to put them in the toaster oven for a few minutes for a hot-off-the-press experience. You could also put them in the microwave for about 30-seconds, but I definitely suggest using the toaster since they will be nice and crispy.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ARE THESE WAFFLES GLUTEN FREE?
Since we used almond flour instead of regular flour, yes, these are gluten-free!
CAN I HAVE MAPLE SYRUP ON KETO?
Typically, regular maple syrup has upwards of 50g of carbs per serving - so it definitely is not keto-friendly. But luckily, I have a solution so you can use maple syrup for these waffles and other breakfast recipes. And the solution is making my keto maple syrup recipe! It is a sugar free syrup that has 0 NET CARBS per serving with the same texture as real maple syrup.
WHAT TO PUT ON KETO WAFFLES?
A wonderful part about waffles is they're a blank canvas waiting to get decorated.
Here are some things you can add to your waffles to make them even better:
- Mix some chocolate chips or blueberries in the batter before cooking.
- Put some fresh berries on top with a sprinkle of confectioners swerve.
- Spread peanut butter or almond butter on top.
- Put a little peanut butter and sugar-free jam on them for a PB&J waffle.
- Add butter or whipped cream on top.
- No matter what you put on your waffles, you have to pour maple syrup on them.

These are my hands down favorite waffle recipe! Even my non keto partner loves them! I thinking I've had them for breakfast everyday for the last 2 weeks, love it! So fluffy and light and delicious
:)
One of the best breakfast recipes you’ve posted.
These were AWESOME!
Just tried this recipe. Very tasty, I'll definitely be adding it to my breakfast rotation. Thanks!
So yummy! I added 1 tsp each of cinnamon and ginger, 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg, cloves, and allspice and made them into Gingerbread Waffles for Christmas. Beyond good!!!
I made these today, trippled the recipe... added an extra tsp. of vanilla and some cinnamon and they are amazing....A trippled recipe will make 16 mini waffles.
Thank you as always for an awesome recipe.
Soooooooo good but not crispy.
I agree, however I separated the eggs, whipped the whites and folded them in before cooking. Nice and crispy.
Best keto waffles I have ever had! I used cream instead of milk. OMG! Awesome!
First Keto waffles I have ever made, and they came out great! Super easy recipe with readily available ingredients, perfect texture, and great flavor.
The best keto waffle recipe and so easy. Will look for more recipe from you. Thank You!
Choose this recipe when I ran out of Birch Benders mix and liked the idea of using the blender vs the mixer. Will never go back to the mix. This was the best keto waffle I have had and I have been cooking keto for 4 years. Blend until you don't see almond flour grains. So good!
Great recipe
I subbed caramel extract for the vanilla when I made these. They are soooo good!
Best keto waffle recipe I have tried
I made these keto waffles and they came out delicious, I used heavy whipping cream instead of the almond milk and I wonder if that was the reason why mine didn't come out crispy. However, they still came out delicious.
LOVED THESE!! EXTRA FUN: "Dash" mini special shaped waffle makers can make this even more fun! I was able to make 10 heart shaped waffles with this recipe. Which means I can eat 5 as a serving!!! Whewhoo! YUMMY!!
Awesome! Lol I used the kids’ Darth Vader waffle maker and got 3 waffles. 😁
These are the absolute best low-carb waffles out there.
Subbed in protein powder for almond flour and added in 2 carb yogurt instead of butter. Yum Yum
Amazing!!!
Wow! I've been on Keto for years and have tried many recipes! Not sure if it's because I whipped the heck out of the batter or what but these are by far the best I've ever made!! Thanks for sharing!! I've shared it to all my keto friends as well! 🤩 My new go to!!! Will be trying more of your recipes!! 😁
Awe glad to hear it.
Absolutely loved this waffle!
Very good ! I will make this my go-to waffle recipe!
The waffles great! I added a little cinnamon and crumbled bacon to the batter. I served topped with blueberries Lakanto syrup. Excellent flavor and crispy.
Yay!!!! These are delicious and I can use my Mickey Mouse waffle maker! Thank you
Awesome!!
I had to use regular milk (I know, not really keto, but we don't like almond milk) and they still came out great even though they were not crispy. My husband said, "please make these again". I may try heavy cream next time.
Very good 👍 My husband even said this was a keeper recipe.
So glad you liked the recipe! :)
First time making them and they truly taste like real waffles! So glad I found your recipe this is definitely a keeper my whole family enjoyed them
I have so far made waffles and pancakes with this recipe. It comes out great and delicious. Both my wife and 1 year old loves it. Thanks for the share. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
I'm so glad you all like the recipe!:)
These are the best KETO waffles leave ever had. Great taste and texture. I made them inmy Dash mini waffle iron it made 9 waffles. Ate two for breakfast.
Flavor was so good. But I would like them crispy. Any suggestions?
Delicious…Thank you for a Great Recipe!!
I added a few blueberries and pecans to some and unsweetened coconut, lily choc chips and pecans to other. Wow so many possibilities with this recipe for different flavors!! Nice to have waffles again😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe:)
First time making a keto waffle that wasn’t a Chaffle. I didn’t have almond milk so I substituted for heavy cream. Turned out great. I wrapped it around a link of sausage. Tasted like sausage in a pancake.
The batter is so tasty and easy to make. Thanks for this recipe. I’ve missed waffles…this is my go to waffle recipe now. ☺️
Amazing even my teenages loved them!!
Fabulous. Mine came out crispy and flavourful though I may add some water to make the mixture a bit thinner. I can but try.
I made these waffles today they are delicious i changed the almond milk that i do not like the taste to 35 % heavy cream
When I mix the batter I was immediately sceptical because it's pretty runny, but waffles came out quite good. I tried half of the batter as pancakes and it work well too. Someone mentioned that calories are to high, but it's nature of the beast for waffles/pancakes if you use almond flour, butter and eggs. There are probably not single good recipe for waffles with other lower calorie keto flours. For macros stand point this recipe is almost fatbomb recipe with 85% kcal from fat. They are good tho, so it's no bothers me. Thanks
