These Keto Waffles are light, crisp, and made with coconut flour and almond butter for a low carb breakfast that feels special without being complicated. Whipped egg whites give them a delicate texture that works beautifully in a waffle iron.
I like making these on slower mornings when I want something warm and homemade that still fits a keto lifestyle. They remind me of the kind of breakfast you linger over with coffee, just without the sugar crash.
Why You'll Love These Keto Waffles
Light texture: the whipped egg whites create waffles that are airy inside with lightly crispy edges.
Low carb: made with coconut flour and almond butter, they fit right into a keto or low carb way of eating.
Simple prep: the batter comes together quickly with everyday keto pantry staples.
Key Ingredients for Coconut Flour Waffles
See the printable recipe card below for a complete list of ingredients and instructions.
- Eggs: separated eggs are the key to the light, waffle-style texture.
- Coconut flour: absorbs moisture and gives structure without grains.
- Almond butter: adds richness and a subtle nutty flavor.
- Monkfruit sweetener: keeps the waffles sugar free without aftertaste.
- Butter: brings flavor and helps the waffles brown nicely.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Use vanilla extract instead of almond extract for a softer flavor profile.
- Swap monkfruit golden sweetener with erythritol or allulose.
- Replace almond butter with cashew butter or peanut butter for a different nut flavor (carb count will differ slightly).
Variations on Keto Waffles
- Fold a fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter for blueberry keto waffles.
- Add sugar free chocolate chips for a dessert style waffle.
- Mix in ground cinnamon and vanilla for a classic breakfast waffle flavor.
Tips for Foolproof Coconut Flour Waffles
- Gentle folding: fold the egg whites in slowly to keep the batter light.
- Batter rest: let the batter sit for a minute so the coconut flour fully hydrates.
- Hot iron: a fully preheated waffle iron helps the waffles release cleanly and crisp properly.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, reheat in a toaster or toaster oven until warmed through and lightly crisp.
Serving Suggestions for Keto Breakfast Recipes
Serve these Keto Waffles with sugar-free maple syrup or a quick sugar free blueberry sauce. They pair nicely with savory breakfast favorites like poached eggs, breakfast sausage, or air-fryer bacon for a balanced keto meal.
