Whether you're enjoying a cozy morning at home or preparing a brunch for friends, these keto waffles will impress everyone at the table. With the right ingredients and a few simple steps, you can create a breakfast that feels decadent without compromising your dietary choices.

Let’s dive into this delightful recipe that brings together the rich flavors and textures of traditional waffles while keeping the carb count low.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp erythritol (or preferred sweetener)

Directions & Preparation

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and erythritol until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray.
  6. Pour the batter into the waffle iron, using enough to cover the cooking surface but not overflow. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or sugar-free syrup.

FAQs

What can I do if my batter is too thick?

If your batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Can I substitute almond flour with another flour?

You can try using sunflower seed flour or a keto baking blend, but results may vary.

What if my waffles are too soft?

Ensure your waffle iron is hot enough before adding the batter; also, allow the waffles to cook until they are golden brown.

Can I add flavorings to the batter?

Absolutely! You can add cinnamon, cocoa powder, or even a bit of lemon zest for extra flavor.

How can I make these waffles more filling?

Incorporate some protein powder into the batter or serve them with a side of bacon or sausage.

What if my waffles are sticking to the waffle iron?

Make sure to grease the waffle iron properly. A non-stick spray or melted coconut oil works best.
