How to Make this Keto Waffle Recipe with Cream Cheese Icing
To Make the Low Carb Waffles
Heat up your waffle maker on the medium/low setting.
Separate the eggs. In a clean, ceramic or glass mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with a hand mixer until you get soft peaks and set aside.
In another bowl, add the egg yolks, Swerve, vanilla, melted butter and the heavy cream.
Mix for about 2 minutes.
Add the egg whites in and mix briefly.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until combined.
Batter should be loose, but not too runny. Add a little more heavy cream, if needed.
Mix the cinnamon and nutmeg together, then add it into the batter.
Mix briefly with a fork, swirling through the batter so that you see the color without fully blending.
Spray your waffle plates with nonstick spray and scoop the batter in, leaving a little space around the edge to allow for spreading.
Cook according to the directions for your maker.
To Make the Keto Cream Cheese Icing
Add all the icing ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add a little more or less hot water to reach your desired consistency.
Remove cooked waffles from the maker and top with a pat of butter and a drizzle of the cream cheese icing.
Dust with a little ground cinnamon and serve!
Variations in Keto Waffles
Waffles are so versatile. Luckily for those on Keto or low carb diets, almond flour waffles allow you to enjoy the same breakfast as your family without the worry of consuming too may carbs.
To keep things interesting, you can take the base of this Keto waffle recipe, and change it up to have different options.
- Add fresh strawberries or any berry of your choice with a little Swerve sweetened whipped cream.
- Instead of the cream cheese icing, you can use any sugar free berry sauce. This Strawberry Sauce and Blueberry Sauce are both equally delicious and are totally Keto friendly sauces.
- Take a totally different route and make these a sweet and savory waffles by adding crumbled bacon pieces in the batter and serve with butter and warm sugar free maple syrup.
- Chopped pecans or walnuts are always a delicious addition.
- What could possibly make this Keto Cinnamon Waffle recipe any better? How about adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup?!
How Do I Freeze Leftover Almond Flour Waffles?
One of my favorite things to meal prep are waffles. While I have my waffle iron out, I will make a double or sometimes even a trip batch.
To freeze waffles made with almond flour, allow them to completely cool. Place them in a freezer bag, getting all the air out you can and stick them in the freezer for up to 3 month. It's that easy!
To reheat them you can put them in a 350F oven until warm. Or you can just pop them in your toaster until warm.
What is Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?
Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
What is a Substitute for Oat Fiber?
To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.

Your recipe sounds delicious. I would very much like to make it, but what I need to know before I do, is in this six-serving recipe, how much or how many waffles are in one serving. And, by six servings, do you mean six small square waffles or six large waffle-iron size waffles. Thank you for your help.
Keto Cooking Christian
I used a Belgian waffle iron when I made them. So, one serving would be one waffle in this case.
Jane
Could you use this recipe in a mini dash waffle maker?
Keto Cooking Christian
Sure, I don't see why not!
Sally
Would ground flax seed be a substitute for the oat flour?
Keto Cooking Christian
I haven't tried subbing with ground flax, so I can't say for sure how they might turn out. If you try it, please let me know how it worked for you.
Phyllis C
I substituted the oat fiber for ground flax seed, same measure, and they turned out great. I also cut back the Swerve, using just 1 tsp of "brown sugar" Swerve. These are amazing! I haven't had a waffle in years, since cutting out white flour & processed foods. I can't believe I get to eat them again. Many thanks!
Keto Cooking Christian
That's great, thanks for letting us know the substitution worked well!
Kathleen
I having trying to use more oat fiber in our diet and love that your recipes use it. How you know when to use and when I have a recipe how can I use as a substitution in those recipes? Is there a ratio like 1:2 or something like that? Thanks
Keto Cooking Christian
There is honestly no specific ratio that I use, every recipe is a little different. Experimenting with it, is the only way to know.
Jenae Saulsby
Great recipe. These waffles are real close to the high carb waffles.
Keto Cooking Christian
Thanks for stopping by to let me know you liked them!
Lindsay
I don’t see where the oat fiber is adddd. I’m assuming with the dry ingredients but with it being important to the recipe I wanted to double check. This looks great and have been waiting to use my powdered monkfruit sweetener.
Keto Cooking Christian
Hi Lindsay,
You add it in with the almond flour, baking powder and salt. I've edited the recipe to reflect this, sorry for the confusion!
