1 cup almond flour
-
2 tablespoons erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added sugar)
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
🔪 Equipment Needed

Waffle maker

Mixing bowls

Measuring cups & spoons
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine:
-
Almond flour
-
Sweetener
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Whisk until everything is evenly mixed.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together:
-
Peanut butter
-
Eggs
-
Almond milk
-
Vanilla extract
-
Melted butter
Mix until smooth and creamy. If your peanut butter is thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to soften.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until a thick but pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
-
Pour batter into the preheated waffle maker (about ¼–½ cup depending on size)
-
Spread evenly
-
Close and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy
Avoid opening too early to prevent breaking the waffles.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm with your favorite keto toppings.
