🛒 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
-
1 cup almond flour (fine, blanched)
-
2 tablespoons coconut flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1–2 tablespoons keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
-
Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
3 large eggs
-
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional, for richer flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Your Waffle Maker
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Make the Batter
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
5. Cook the Waffles
Scoop batter into the preheated waffle maker and spread evenly. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve Warm
Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately with your favorite keto toppings.

💡 Tips for Perfect Keto Waffles
-
Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps waffles fluffy.
-
Let batter rest for a few minutes so coconut flour can thicken it.
-
Cook fully—keto waffles need a bit longer to crisp up than regular ones.
-
Use fine almond flour for the best texture (not almond meal).
