keto waffle recipe

Let’s be honest – giving up traditional waffles might be one of the hardest parts of following a keto diet. That crispy exterior, that fluffy interior… it’s the stuff breakfast dreams are made of! But what if I told you this keto waffle recipe delivers all that comfort without the carb crash? These almond flour waffles have become my Saturday morning ritual, and I promise they’ll make you forget all about the regular flour version. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely perfect for topping with a pat of butter and sugar-free syrup.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite (equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar)
  • ½ cup whole milk (or heavy cream for an even lower-carb option)
  • 8 ounces superfine almond flour (2 cups, measured by weight)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for the waffle maker)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Set your oven to warm (170°F) and place a baking sheet with a wire rack inside – this will be your secret weapon for keeping those waffles crispy!
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, stevia, and milk until well combined. This wet mixture is the foundation of your waffle’s tender texture.
  3. Gradually add the almond flour to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. Don’t rush this step – those little lumps will haunt your waffles! If your batter seems too thick (it should be pourable but not runny), add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water.
  4. Mix in the salt and baking soda until fully incorporated.
  5. Brush your hot waffle iron generously with melted butter. This is non-negotiable if you want that golden exterior!
  6. Pour approximately ½ cup of batter per waffle onto the center of your waffle iron (amount may vary depending on your waffle maker size). Gently close the lid and let the magic happen.
  7. Cook for about 5 minutes until your waffles are golden brown and crispy. Pro tip: You’ll know they’re done when the steam stops escaping from the waffle maker.
  8. Transfer finished waffles to your prepared wire rack in the oven to stay warm and crisp while you cook the remaining batter.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

Notes

These waffles are meal-prep friendly and reheat beautifully:

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Place cooled waffles in a freezer bag with wax paper between layers to prevent sticking. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Pop them in your toaster on the lowest setting for that just-made crispiness. Microwaving works in a pinch, but you’ll sacrifice some of that fantastic texture.
