Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
2 large eggs
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp erythritol
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to its instructions.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until you get a smooth batter.
- Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes. This helps the almond flour absorb the liquids.
- Grease your waffle maker lightly with oil or nonstick spray.
- Pour the batter in (about ¼–½ cup depending on your waffle maker size), and cook according to your waffle iron instructions, usually 3–5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Serve warm with your favorite keto toppings.
Notes
- Use superfine almond flour for best texture.
- Let the batter rest briefly before cooking.
- Grease the waffle iron well to prevent sticking.
Pro Tips for Perfect Keto Waffles Every Time Keto Almond Flour Waffle Recipe
Making Keto Almond Flour Waffle Recipe is super simple, but a few small tricks can take them from good to amazing. Here are my favorite tips to make sure your waffles turn out just right, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and never falling apart.
- Use superfine almond flour: This gives your waffles a smoother texture and helps them cook evenly. Coarser almond meal can make them gritty.
- Don’t skip the baking powder: It helps give the waffles a nice lift and light, fluffy texture.
- Let the batter rest: Just 2–3 minutes is enough to let the almond flour absorb the liquid and thicken a bit, making the waffles easier to cook.
- Preheat and grease your waffle iron: A hot, well-greased iron prevents sticking and gives you those perfectly crisp edges.
- Go easy on the batter: Almond flour waffles don’t rise as much as regular ones, so don’t overload the iron, it can spill over or cook unevenly.
Easy Variations to Mix Things Up
Once you’ve got the basic recipe down, it’s fun to play around with flavors and textures! Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or have dietary needs like dairy-free, these easy variations let you make this waffle recipe your own.
- Dairy-free option: Swap the butter for coconut oil or avocado oil. It still gives a great texture and keeps the waffles rich and satisfying.
- Savory waffles: Skip the sweetener and vanilla, and stir in shredded cheddar, chopped herbs, or even cooked bacon bits.
- Pumpkin spice waffles: Add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for a cozy fall twist.
- Chocolate chip waffles: Stir in a few sugar-free chocolate chips to make them extra indulgent (and kid-approved!).
- Nutty crunch: Fold in some chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Let your waffle creativity shine, once you get the hang of this recipe, you’ll find endless ways to keep it fun and delicious!

FAQs About Keto Almond Flour Waffle Recipe
Can I freeze these almond flour waffles?
Yes! Let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in the toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
Why are my waffles falling apart?
Make sure your waffle iron is hot enough and well-greased. Also, don’t open it too soon—give the waffle time to crisp and set.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Not directly, coconut flour is much more absorbent. You’d need to adjust the liquids and eggs significantly.
