Do you miss traditional waffles? Since we’ve removed white flour and sugar from our diet, you may feel like you can’t enjoy waffles anymore, but that’s not true!
If you don’t have all the ingredients you need for our waffles today, you probably have what you need to make these 2 ingredient chaffles! Wholesome Yum shared a chaffle recipe five different ways, so check that out as well!
Low-Carb Waffle Recipe:
Growing up, waffles were a special treat in my house. I honestly can’t remember having homemade waffles before I was a teen, and I will never forget when my parents got their first Belgian waffle maker.
OMG, it was a game-changer!
The best thing about a waffle iron is that anyone in the house can use it. The downside is that tweens and teens tend to make a pretty big mess the first few times they use them!
I’ve even made this mistake as an adult, but I’m pretty good about cleaning up after myself now.
This recipe is perfect for those following a low-carb or keto diet and is a great way to make waffles that are just as tasty as regular ones without added carbs!
Easy Keto Waffles Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 3 tbsp sweetener (I use stevia)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large free-range eggs
- 1/3/4 cup almond milk or heavy cream – both work well
- ½ cup coconut oil
- Berries of your choice
- Sugar Free Maple Syrup
Low-Carb Waffles Directions:
This recipe makes eight waffles but is based on my waffle maker so servings may vary. You can easily double the batch for a larger family or busy mornings when you need a quick and easy breakfast.
Note: For best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe.
- Start by preheating your waffle maker.
- Mix all the wet ingredients in a large bowl until well blended.
- Then add all the dry ingredients and mix using an electric whisk or lots of arm power until well combined and slightly fluffy!
- Leave the waffle batter to sit for around 10 minutes.
- Use a small ladle when your waffle maker is heated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the waffle mixture into the waffle maker sections to reach the fill line or edge of the lower lip.
*Don’t overfill, or the mixture will spill out.
- Close the lid of the waffle maker and allow the waffles to cook. Depending on your waffle maker’s make, this takes 5-8 minutes. Don’t be tempted to lift the lid before this time, or the mixture will stick.
- Serve the waffles with fresh berries and your choice of topping. I love mine with double cream or a drizzle of sugar free syrup.
Tips For The Best Keto Waffles:
One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s simple and easy to make. You can even make a double batch and store the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick breakfast on the go.
Add some of your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, keto whipped cream, peanut butter, almond butter, cream cheese, cocoa powder, protein powder, sugar-free flavored maple syrup, or sugar-free jam or jelly to make these waffles even more delicious.
I plan to share a few new variations with you soon until then I’ll share some of my favorites from across the web. I want to test out keto chaffles and some savory recipes.
Belgian waffles are a popular keto breakfast option. If you’d like to make them, all you need to do is separate your egg whites from your yolks (add one white to this recipe) and create stiff peaks for a fluffy texture, then fold them into your batter.
Like your waffles crispy? Using a mini waffle maker such as Dash is a great option but will take a little longer! My girls had to have one, and now they never use it!
Try experimenting with different base ingredients, like hazelnut flour, flaxseed meal, and sunflower seed flour, for a delicious variation in the recipe.

Notes
This recipe makes eight waffles but is based on my waffle maker so servings may vary. You can easily double the batch for a larger family or busy mornings when you need a quick and easy breakfast.
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe.
Tips:
- Use a low-carb flour alternative: Instead of regular wheat flour, use a low-carb alternative such as almond flour or coconut flour.
- Add protein powder: Adding a scoop of protein powder to the batter will add protein and help the waffles hold their shape.
- Use a sugar substitute: Use a low-carb sugar substitute such as erythritol or stevia instead of regular sugar to keep the carb count low.
- Add a binding agent: To help the batter stick together, add a binding agent such as xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and thicken up.
- Use a waffle maker: Use a waffle maker to cook the waffles evenly and to give them a crispy exterior.
- Grease the waffle maker: Grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or butter to prevent the waffles from sticking.
- Don’t overfill the waffle maker: Overfilling the waffle maker can cause the batter to overflow and make a mess. Use a ladle or measuring cup to portion out the batter.
- Cook until golden brown: Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Depending on your waffle maker, this will take about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with keto-friendly toppings: Serve the waffles with keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free syrup, berries, whipped cream, or nut butter to keep the meal low-carb.
