Low Carb Waffles Recipe

This Low Carb Waffles Recipe is a crispy and fluffy recipe, which is made with almond flour and melted butter. It’s a healthy weekend breakfast, ready in about 15 minutes.

Low Carb Waffles Recipe Ingredients

• 2 cups blanched almond flour (superfine)
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
• 2 tablespoons granulated keto sweetener (Erythritol or Monk Fruit)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Non-stick cooking spray (for the waffle iron)

How To Make Low Carb Waffles Recipe

1. Preheat the iron: Plug in your waffle iron and let it preheat. Grease the plates generously with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter. (Almond flour batters tend to stick more than wheat batters, so don’t skip this).
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until frothy and well combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, keto sweetener, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until a smooth, thick batter forms.
4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes. This allows the almond flour to hydrate slightly, resulting in a fluffier waffle.
5. Pour and cook: Pour the batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. (The amount depends on your iron size, usually about 1/2 cup for a Belgian maker). Spread it slightly toward the edges with a spatula, but do not overfill. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.
6. Check for doneness: Wait until the steam stops coming out of the iron before checking. The waffle should be golden brown and release easily from the grid.
7. Cool for crispness: Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire cooling rack. Crucial Step: Low carb waffles are soft when hot. Letting them sit for 1-2 minutes on the rack allows the steam to escape and the exterior to crisp up.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t open too early: Gluten-free low carb batters are more fragile than standard batter. If you open the iron while it’s still steaming, the waffle will likely split in half. Wait for the steam to stop.
• How to get them extra crispy: If you like very crispy waffles, place the cooked waffles directly onto the rack of a 250°F oven to keep warm and crisp up while you cook the rest of the batch.
• Separating eggs: For the ultimate fluffy texture, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Mix the yolks with the batter, whip the whites to stiff peaks, and fold them in gently at the end.
• Almond Flour choice: Use “superfine blanched” almond flour. Do not use almond meal, or the waffles will be heavy and gritty.
• Sweetener: If you prefer savory waffles (like for Chicken and Waffles), simply omit the sweetener and vanilla extract.

What To Serve With Low Carb Waffles Recipe

Enjoy a classic breakfast stack without the sugar crash.

• Sugar-free maple syrup (like ChocZero or Lakanto)
• Fresh strawberries or blueberries (low glycemic fruits)
• Whipped heavy cream (unsweetened)
• Fried chicken (for keto Chicken & Waffles)

How To Store Low Carb Waffles Recipe

• Refrigerate: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Reheat: Never microwave leftover waffles (they will get soggy). Reheat them in a toaster or toaster oven to restore the crispy edges.
• Freeze: Allow waffles to cool completely. Place a sheet of parchment paper between them and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Pop frozen waffles directly into the toaster.
