Low Carb Waffles
Waffles are one of those perfect breakfast foods as well a perfect “breakfast for dinner” foods.
All those delightful little pockets to hold a variety of toppings, syrups, berries, you name it!
Low Carb waffles are a favorite in my house. Specifically, gluten free waffles that are ALSO low carb. My household is a gluten free house where most foods are keto and low carb. I practice cyclical keto so not every day is a low carb day, but most.
This recipe is one of those recipes, though, that will satisfy the low carb crowd AND the high carb crowd. BONUS.
Alright, so let’s have a quick discussion about how to make these lovely waffles. Full recipe is at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.
How to Make Low Carb Waffles
Add all ingredients to a blender or a food processor and blend until well mixed.
Preheat waffle iron as batter rests.
Following the instructions for your waffle maker, add batter to the waffle maker. Again, follow waffle make instructions for baking!
Serve with topping of choice!
Low Carb Waffle Toppings
Are you ready to have some fun? Let’s go through some of my favorite toppings!
Homemade Whipped Cream – It’s so easy to make whipped cream at home. You can even try keto peppermint whipped cream or switch up the flavor however you want!
Keto Lemon Curd – If you haven’t already seen how you can eat lemon curd with waffles, check out my cream cheese chaffle with lemon curd recipe. Delicious!
Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup – This thick, oh so chocolatey syrup is perfect for keto waffles and keto pancakes! Use code TRINAKRUG for 10% off.
Sugar Free Maple Syrup – Another perfect syrup for both waffles and pancakes! Again, use code TRINAKRUG for 10% off.
Berries – Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and more!
BUTTER! I saved the best for last. Good old fashioned butter melting over the top of a hot waffle. YUM!!!
Do These Low Carb Waffles Taste Eggy?
No, they most certainly do not. To me, there is almost nothing worse than a keto baked item tasting eggy.
Having said that, eggs do play an important role in recipes such as waffles. Especially in gluten free waffles. Gluten provides a lot of structure and eggs really make up for part of what you lose when you take out gluten.
Eggs will hold everything together and also help the batter to rise and get fluffy during cooking.
Can I Make These in a Chaffle Size?
You totally can! Just follow your waffle maker instructions and you are good to go! These will work with most waffle makers.
Can I Reheat These Waffles?
You definitely can reheat waffles. They may be slightly mushier than when they were first freshly made. But they will still taste lovely.
