These Keto Almond Flour Waffles are golden on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a classic breakfast texture without the use of grains or sugar. Made with a base of almond flour and eggs, they have a mild, buttery flavor that works well with both sweet and savory toppings.
About This Recipe
To get the best results, ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated and lightly greased before adding the batter. Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the whisked eggs and melted butter helps the baking powder distribute evenly, which allows the waffles to rise and become light. Cooking them for three to five minutes, or until the steam stops rising from the iron, ensures a crisp exterior that holds up to toppings like butter or sugar-free syrup.
The base of the batter uses almond flour to create a nutty, dense crumb, while a small amount of coconut flour helps to absorb excess moisture and improve the structure. This combination results in a waffle that is sturdy enough to be handled but remains tender on the inside. Using unsweetened almond milk and melted butter keeps the flavor profile neutral, making these waffles easy to customize with vanilla, cinnamon, or even savory herbs.
Because these waffles are firm once cooled, they are a good option for preparing ahead of time. They can be stored in the refrigerator or frozen in a single layer, then reheated in a toaster to restore their crispness. This recipe is easy to make in batches and can be served as a simple breakfast with fresh berries or paired with eggs and bacon for a more substantial meal.
