Low Carb Waffles
These fluffy Low Carb Waffles are made with almond and coconut flour for a wholesome, high-protein breakfast that fits perfectly into keto, paleo, and gluten-free diets. They're crisp on the outside, soft inside, and freezer-friendly for busy mornings.

Before You Get Started
Here are a few helpful tips to make sure your waffles turn out great:
- Choose the right almond flour: Use finely ground, blanched almond flour for the best results!
- Cool on a wire rack: Let your waffles cool on a wire rack if you're not eating them right away. This keeps them crisp!
- Make a double or triple batch: Make sure to cook up a double or triple batch since these will keep well in the freezer and can be pulled out for a quick breakfast.
How to Make Almond Flour Waffles
Making low carb waffles is simple and flexible. Here's how to do it:
1. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and your sweetener of choice.
3. Combine Everything
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined. The batter will have a thick texture. Add more milk as needed to loosen it slightly!
4. Cook the Waffles
Heat your waffle iron and spray it with nonstick spray. Add the batter and cook until golden brown and have a crispy texture. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle maker.
Recipe Ideas and Tips
This waffle recipe is basic, which means you have the power to jazz it up however you like! Here are some of our favorite options:
- Add fruit: Consider adding fresh fruit to the batter. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, or shredded apples are all really amazing in waffles.
- Make them savory: Want to really kick things up? If you are eating low carb but not overly concerned about calories, add some bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives to the batter for a savory bunch waffle that is perfect with a fried egg. Tastes amazing for brunch, especially with some hot sauce on top and a drizzle of low carb maple syrup.
- Add spices: You could add any spices to these waffles. When making breakfast waffles, usually I opt for cinnamon, but if you want a more savory waffle, you could add Italian seasoning, bagel seasoning, or lemon pepper.
- Milk: You can use any type of milk when making the batter. Just make sure to keep to something low in sugar to keep the recipe low in carbohydrates.
- Keep the ratio: Make sure not to change the ratio of the different flours since almond flour and coconut flour act very differently. Changing the proportions will change the waffles completely, and they may not come out the same.
- Add-ins: For an added boost of protein, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds to the batter. You could also add sugar-free chocolate chips.
What to serve with low carb waffles?
Since these waffles are low carb, you will probably want to serve them with a low carb topping or side dish. Here are some to consider:
- Add meat: Grab some bacon, turkey bacon, or breakfast sausage to cook up and serve on the side. Canadian bacon or breakfast ham also works.
- Add eggs: Serve some Quiche Cupcakes, Cottage Cheese Omelet Muffins, or a Breakfast Egg Casserole alongside the waffles for a bit more protein!
- Keep it keto: Since maple syrup isn't an option if you are keto or low carb, consider using some peanut butter or almond butter that's thinned out with a little hot water. Add Stevia or another sweetener to make it more like syrup. You could also use sugar-free maple syrup if you like!
- Top it off: I love serving waffles with a few dollops of full-fat Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese on top and some fresh berries.
- Savory toppings: If you are making a more savory version, you can top with cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and fresh chives or green onions.
- Add jam: Depending on your diet, consider making some chia seed jam to serve on your waffles.
Can I freeze keto waffles? How long will they last in the fridge?
These waffles are a great option for meal prep since they stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Just pop them in the toaster to reheat.
If you want to make a big batch and freeze them, they will last for 3-4 months in the freezer. Just make sure to keep them in an airtight bag or container so they don't get freezer burn. Then you can defrost them overnight in the fridge or simply cook them from frozen in the toaster.
