Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups super-fine almond flour gives structure without heaviness
  • 1 tbsp baking powder lifts the batter as it cooks
  • 3 tbsp granulated keto sweetener (like allulose or erythritol) for sweetness
  • 1 pinch salt balances the sweetness
  • 1 tbsp xanthan gum (optional) helps crisp the edges

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs for binding and fluffy interior
  • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil, melted for moisture and flavor
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for cozy bakery vibes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk to thin the batter

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 tsp cinnamon for added flavor
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips optional for sweetness
  • 1 tsp lemon zest for a fresh taste

Instructions
 

Mix the batter

  • Whisk the dry ingredients together: almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, salt, and xanthan gum if using.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter or oil, vanilla, and milk or cream.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and gently fold with a spatula until just combined.
  • If the batter is too stiff, add a tablespoon more milk at a time to thin.

Cook in the waffle maker

  • Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease it.
  • Scoop in the batter and spread it to the corners.
  • Close the lid and let it cook until the steam mainly stops and the outside is golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Make ahead and freeze

  • Double the batch, cool the waffles on a rack, then freeze in a single layer before stacking.
  • Reheat in a toaster or air fryer at 350 degrees until crisp again.

Notes

Store any leftover waffles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, reheat in the toaster. Experiment with different add-ins for variation, such as nuts or seeds.
