Keto waffles are probably my new favorite breakfast recipe. They are super easy, delicious and fun to make with the kids.
If you have recently bought a waffle maker, and you’re looking to do something with it as you have recently decided to give the ketogenic diet a try, then THIS is the recipe that might just save your life.
Waffles are great by themselves, or with plenty of butter, but why not make them a real treat and add some sugar-free maple syrup and top it all off with some Keto Icecream? This batter makes 3 complete waffles, but you’ll probably feel full after just 1/4 of the waffle. They are fluffy but calorically dense, so don’t go putting a whole waffle on your plate…
Its made with Almond Flour and xanthan gum, much like my Keto Bread (just with much fewer eggs). This recipe doesn’t have any eggy smell what so ever, even when you’re cooking them (crazy, I know). Turns out, when you introduce vanilla and a little sweetness into the mix, it both masks the sulfur smell completely, and once cooled will taste exactly like wheat flour waffles.
Depending on how crispy you like these waffles, I suggest cooking for 4-7 mins depending on the heat of your waffle iron. If they are crispy, then they are easier to pick up.

Keto Waffles

- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 1/2 Cups Warm Almond Milk
- 1/3 Cup Butter Melted
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat your eggs until well combined.
- In a seperate bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum. Mix thouroughly
- Warm the almond milk up on the stove for about 3 mins. Make sure this is not too hot otherwise you'll cook the eggs
- Mix with the eggs in the first bowl, adding the erythrtiol, melted butter and vanilla extract.

- Follow the directions on your waffle iron manual on how to cook these badboys, (usually around 5-7 mins). Let them sit to cool slightly and enjoy.

This turns out the same consistency of a thick hot coco. It taste delicious, but that could be because I added some lime juice to the vanilla.
I didn’t have xanthan gum, but that is supposed to be optional. I probably should have added extra flour, but I am new to keto so I’m not as confident with adjusting recipes.
Love your recipes, but I’m a bit confused about the Net Carbs. It says 3.5 Net Carbs for half a waffle, yet you have 3 piled up in the picture. Who’s going to eat half a waffle for breakfast? So assuming we eat a whole one, that’s 7 Net Carbs. And since I’d probably want two, it’s still a bit higher than I would like on my low carb diet.
Hi Aaron.
So sorry I just read your comments at the top. Really you think 1/4 of a waffle is enough?
A serving is 1/2 a waffle.
Mine came out perfect! My kids loved tbem and so did I.
Just made these for my mother in law this morning and I think I did something wrong. She said they tasted good. But I felt my batter wasn’t much of a batter. And I even added some extra milk. What consistency should the batter have been? In a pinch I didn’t have almond flour but had coconut flour. Would that have been my downfall??
Hi there,
Did you let the batter rest before making them? What about the batter didn’t look right? did you leave any of the ingredients out by any chance?
Yes, you use a lot less coconut flour when you substitute. More sure how this would turn out. 1 cup almond flour is equivalent to 1/4 cup coconut flour and you probably have to adjust the liquids. Google: “ratio coconut flour to almond flour” or how to substitute one flour for the other. Good luck!
You talk about eggs but for us people we count eggs as a whole so in your bread you say 7 50g is that 7 eggs?
Correct.
I appreciate how clearly and carefully you explain the break down of the nutritional elements. I’m new to FatForWeightloss and can’t wait to try these easy and gorgeous recipes.
Thanks so much Shannan 🙂
Era demasiado polvo de hornear quedaron un poco amargos.
Can you half the recipe ?
Sure can!
i love your recipe
Sorry, I don’t understand – are you saying it’s 3.5 net carbs for HALF a waffle?
Who’s going to eat half a waffle?
I’m not doing this to cut carbs, I’m making sure that calories are on point. I try to make these around 500 calories per serve throughout the blog.
The waffles were so flimsyI had trouble getting them out of the waddle iron, even in pieces.
Hey Kay,
That’s a typical sign of not being cooked enough. How long did you have them in the waffle iron for?
shouldn’t the “Net carbs” be 3.5 since there is 4.5 in fiber?
Oh, & meant to ask, what is the brand of maple syrup you use please? All I picked up the other day had SO much sugar, sadly. Thanks.

Hello Aaron,
Do you have to use Almond Milk with the waffles? Sorry, but being dairy farmers, substituting milk sort of doesn’t go down very well, lol. We drink raw milk, as you may gather, & love it.
Thanks,
Love your recipes,
Pam
You wouldn’t necessarily need to use almond milk, but you would need to use exceptionally high fat dairy. Generally the only dairy “milk” that’s high enough fat and low enough carb for Keto is heavy cream 🙂
Of course it would, Pam. 🙂 Almond milk is lower fat than full cream cow’s milk.
Hey….can you make a pancake with this recipe? I don’t have a waffle iron?
I would try my keto pancake recipe instead 😉
