    Time to break out the waffle maker!  The texture is light and airy with a crispiness on the outside.

    If you're like most people, when you made the decision to follow Keto or a gluten free diet, you just knew waffles would be a thing of the past. After all, traditional waffles are loaded with sugar and regular flour, sending the carb count way up!

    Luckily, there are several gluten free flours and sugar substitutes that allow for recreating this breakfast favorite into a low carb and healthier version.

    They also freeze really well, just heat them back up in a toaster and you are ready to go!

    What's In Homemade Gluten Free Waffles

    • Almond flour
    • Oat Fiber 
    • Eggs
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Swerve confectioners 
    • Baking powder
    • Heavy cream
    • Grass-fed butter
    • Salt

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    How to Make Homemade Keto Waffles

    Heat up your waffle maker and have some coconut oil or nonstick spray ready.

    Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine.

    With a hand mixer, whip up the egg whites in a separate bowl, to soft peaks.

    In another bowl, add in the egg yolks, heavy cream, butter, vanilla and swerve and mix.

    Mix in the egg whites, then the dry ingredients, just until combined.

    Spray the waffle maker with nonstick spray or brush with coconut oil.  Cook according to the direction for your waffle maker.

    What are Some Almond Flour Waffle Toppings?

    Serve with some butter and either this homemade Raspberry Sauce, Strawberry Sauce. Blueberry Sauce, Strawberry Sauce or your favorite sugar-free maple syrup.

    Are Waffles High in Carbs?

    Traditional waffles are very high in carbs. The typical traditional waffle has about 70 grams of carbs! WOW, right?! That's over 3 days worth of carbs for someone on Keto.

    Well, these homemade waffles, made with almond flour and oat fiber, are low carb and Keto friendly. There're only 5 net carbs per serving in this recipe. Talk about a carb savings!

    Can I Freeze Almond Flour Waffles?

    These Keto waffles are so quick and easy, making a double batch and freezing them means you can have healthy waffles on hand when you need a quick low carb breakfast.

    For leftovers, line a sheet pan with parchment paper, place the waffles in a single layer on the pan. Allow the them to come to room temperature, before putting them in the freezer for 2 hours. Place the frozen waffles in a freezer safe container or freezer bag.

    Substitutions for Homemade Keto Waffles

    This is such a versatile low carb waffle recipe, you can change it up any way you'd like. Try some, or all, of these combinations:

    • Add fresh berries over the top with some fresh whip cream.
    • Chopped pecans or walnuts add a little crunch when sprinkled over the top.
    • For extra decadence, layer waffles with this Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting and a little cinnamon to mimic the flavors of a cinnamon roll.
    • If you love chocolate, you can add a little unsweetened cocoa to the batter.
    • Wanting breakfast on the go, just smear the waffles with some Keto friendly peanut butter and place in a zip lock bag for when you're ready to eat it.
    • In this recipe, a Belgian Waffle Maker is used, but you can use any waffle maker of your choice.

    What Sugar Substitutes Can I Use in Homemade Low Carb Waffles?

    In this recipe, Swerve confectioners is used. It taste and measures just like traditional sugar. However, if you would like to use Monk Fruit powdered, that would be fine.

    Because these cook fairly quickly and do not cook under high heat for very long a powdered or confectioners type sugar substitute is recommended as a granulated form may not dissolve enough.

    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.

      Disappointed. I have used a lot of your recipes and have loved them. This was a lot of work and the waffles would not come out without crumbling. They were so soft even when I cooked them until they were almost burnt. I have a nice Farberware waffle iron & followed the recipe carefully. I think this would be better as a pancake recipe, they were so soft. Ant tips?. ...Shirley ... P.S. I have been getting your emails for a long time, why does the site ask me to subscribe? I did fill out the form, then it wouldn't take me back to the home page.

        I'm not sure why you had trouble with the recipe, so I don't know what the issue could have been. Mine didn't crumble and didn't have a problem crisping up. Maybe not enough oat fiber to give them structure, perhaps? On the email subscription, once you sign up, you are set! The form is in the header regardless, so you can just scroll past it 🙂

      Made these but without separating the eggs first. They turned out pretty well even with that change, but not as crisp as I'd hoped. The kids liked them so that's a win. Definitely on my list to make again.

        Hi Peter,
        Glad the kids enjoyed them! To make them crispier, you can try cooking them a little longer in your waffle maker and that should work.
