Waffles or chaffles?

Chaffles (waffles made from cheese) are super popular in the keto world. And they’re really good! But sometimes you want a keto waffle without cheese.

When it comes to low carb breakfast waffles, I prefer this recipe for keto waffles with almond flour. In my opinion, the taste and texture is closer to a traditional sweet waffle than you get with chaffles. I’ll save those for more savory applications!

Ingredients needed to make keto waffles

These easy low carb waffles are made with just 6 ingredients! To make them, you’ll need:

• Almond Flour. Be sure to use almond flour, not almond meal. Almond flour is made from almonds that have been blanched and peeled, so it has a finer texture and lighter color than almond meal. The flavor and texture is much closer to moe traditional flours.
• Whey Protein. Vanilla whey protein will give you the most classic waffle flavor, but you can definitely mix things up with your favorite low carb protein powder. Coffee waffles, anyone?
• Stevia or swerve (optional). Depending on the flavor of the protein powder you use, you might want to add a tiny bit of your favorite sweetener. I usually leave it out.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Vanilla Extract
• Egg

How to make almond flour waffles

To make these homemade waffles, start by combining your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then add the egg, vanilla, and almond milk and stir until just combined. It’s ok if the batter is a little lumpy! This will help pruduce a light and fluffy waffle.

If you want to test your waffles for sweetness, taste the batter after adding the milk and vanilla, but before adding the egg. Add sweetener to taste, then mix in the egg last.

Add the batter to your waffle maker and cook until crisp and golden brown. I usually use the second to higher or higherest setting on my waffle iron.

You can use a standard size waffle iron, a Belgian waffle iron with deep divots to fill with syrup, or make mini waffles! The dash mini waffle maker is super popular because it works really well (and really quickly!). It’s also small, wihich is convenient is you’re short on storage space. You can grab one on Amazon, but I laso just bought one at Home Goods for $5.99!

If using a larger waffle maker then you will likely get 3 waffles from this recipe. A mini waffle iron will yield about 6 smaller waffles.

Tips for making the best low carb waffles with almond flour

Always preheat your waffle iron and grease it with butter or oil spray. This will ensure you get the ideal crip brown exterior with a sift and fluffy waffle center.

Keep cooked waffles from getting cold and soggy by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven until you’re ready to serve them.

For a more decadent low carb waffle, toss in some sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter just before cooking! You can also play around with different flavored protein powder.

Make your own DIY low carb waffle mix by combining 4 1/2 cups of almond flour, 4 scoops of protein powder, and 4 teaspoons of powdered vanilla. Store in an airtight continaner in a dry place. To make waffles, measure out 1 2/3 cup of mix and add 1 cup of almond milk and 1 egg.
