Light and tender, these keto waffles are a delicious part of a healthy breakfast! Made with coconut milk and almond flour, they are low carb, dairy free and gluten free!
Breakfast is a busy meal for most of us. If you are heading to work, school, or just gearing up for a full day at home, you need good, healthy fuel. You want healthy fats that won’t weigh you down, and keep you from reaching your goals.
Before you think about another egg for breakfast, let me tell you that you have breakfast options with keto. Yes, yes you do. You no longer need to start your day with only bacon and eggs!
How about some tender, tasty, low carb waffles to start your day?
This keto waffle recipe will make 6 waffles.The waffles are very filling their own and I only was able to eat one .If you need to get more protein, add some bacon and eggs on the side.
Here’s the ingredients we are using in these dairy free, low carb waffles.
- Almond flour has 5 grams of protein, 11 grams of healthy fat, and only 3 net carbs per 1/4 cup serving. It bakes just as well as regular flour and I frequently use it in a 1:1 ratio.
- Coconut milk has 57.2 grams of healthy fat, 5.3 grams of protein and only 8 net carbs per 1 cup serving. I use the full fat coconut milk in the can, pour it into a jar, and shake very well to mix before adding to a recipe. Unsweetened coconut milk in a carton is fine to use, too. If you would rather use almond milk for this, you will still get fluffy, tender waffles, but the macro count may be different.
- Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is not digested by the body. Unlike other -ols like malitol, or xylitol, this particular sugar substitute is actually run through the kidneys, and the chance for gastric upset or other pains (like diarrhea) are very minimal.
These waffles are not crispy on the outside, like regular flour waffles would be. They are more soft and tender, which is fine with my family. However, they DID crisp up a bit after they had been frozen and reheated in the toaster oven.
They will store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months, and in the fridge for up to 4 days. Low carb waffles will make a great prep meal for those on the go, busy days. Just reheat in the toaster or microwave and enjoy! Or, you can simply allow to thaw for 20-30 minutes on the counter and enjoy that way.

Question – for the coconut milk, is it the coconut milk in a can or carton? I have both, just want to know which to use and which one you calculated the nutrition with. Thanks!
I used the can coconut milk in this recipe. Sorry that wasn’t more clear.
Thanks!
you are very welcome!
