Ultimate Keto Waffle Recipe (Only 3 Ingredients!)
If you think waffles are off-limits on keto—this recipe will change your mornings. These crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside keto waffles require just 3 simple ingredients, come together in minutes, and are perfect for both sweet and savory cravings.
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2–3 waffles)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tbsp almond flour
🍳 Equipment
-
Waffle maker
-
Mixing bowl
-
Fork or whisk
-
Non-stick spray or butter
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle maker and let it fully heat up. This is key for getting that crispy golden texture.
Step 2: Melt the Cheese
Place the shredded mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 30–45 seconds until fully melted and gooey. Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Mix the Batter
Add the eggs and almond flour to the melted cheese. Quickly mix everything together using a fork or whisk.
Tip: Work fast here so the cheese doesn’t harden before everything blends well.
Step 4: Grease the Waffle Maker
Lightly grease your waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Pour a portion of the batter into the waffle maker and spread evenly. Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 6: Cool Slightly & Serve
Carefully remove the waffles and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. This helps them firm up and get even crispier.
