Keto Waffles
Fluffy, nutty, crisp, and golden-delicious, these waffles have it all. The batter comes together easily in a blender and is superb when crisped to perfection and served with your favorite keto-friendly syrup (like Lakanto), a mound of whipped cream, and some fresh blueberries or blackberries (or fried chicken). Remember to adjust the macros when you make changes or additions. Waffles are best enjoyed right away. This recipe calls for a standard 4-slice grid waffle maker. If you have a Belgian-style (round) waffle maker, it’s fine to use it, but it tends to make larger waffles, so you’ll need to recalculate the macros and number of servings you can make.
Servings: 4 One Serving: 2 waffles
Equipment
- waffle maker
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2/3 cup fine almond flour
- 3 Tbsp granulated allulose sweetener (like RxSugar) or granulated brown erythritol-based sweetener
- 1½ tsp baking powder

Some emerging research suggests that erythritol might increase the risk of blood clots, but more studies are needed to confirm this potential link. Whether you decide to use erythritol or not, remember that all sweeteners should be consumed in moderation, and your keto diet should primarily focus on nutritious whole foods.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C). Place a wire rack on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat a 4-slice grid waffle maker on the high setting and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a blender, combine the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon/nutmeg, salt, eggs, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until mixed through and smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the batter into the prepared waffle iron, making sure to cover the entire waffle plate, corners, and edges with batter. Close the lid and cook, checking every 3 minutes until they are deep golden-brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Set the finished waffles on the prepared wire rack and transfer it to the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve.
