These delicious low carb waffles are a popular keto breakfast recipe!

Let me ask you a question: how do you bring good living to your life? In the chaos that is modern day existence, it can be so easy to forget to enjoy what life has to offer. I am often guilty of this. With three small kids and a chronic disease like diabetes, all of which require a lot of managing, I can lose sight of what matters to me. That’s when I have to take step back and remind myself to take the time for good living. And by “good living”, I don’t mean anything that requires a lot of money. Good living, to me, means taking enjoyment in what I do, who I am, and the people, places and things around me. It can be as simple as stopping to take in the scent of woodsmoke and the colour of the autumnn leaves. It can mean leaving the dishes sitting in the sink so I can play with my children. And it often means food, lots and lots of good, healthy, flavourful food shared with family and friends.

After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, it didn’t take long for me to discover Greek yogurt. With a lot more protein and a fewer carbs than regular yogurt, it quickly became a staple in my diet. I learned that the plain variety, with the addition of some chopped nuts or berries, makes an incredibly satisfying, healthy snack. And as I started to experiment with low carb, gluten free baking, I discovered that Greek yogurt was a godsend in that department as well. In the absence of gluten, Greek yogurt helps provide protein to give my baked goods structure, while also making them incredibly moist. Since it’s in so many of my recipes, I think it’s safe to say that Greek yogurt is a part of good living, for me.

FAGE Total Yogurt is among the best known brands of Greek yogurt here in the US, and it just so happens that they are giving away three trips to Greece for legal US residents. The trips are all in the name of the Greek tradition of “good living”. I encourage you to enter HERE. I’ve always wanted to go to Greece, so I think it’s an opportunity not to be missed.

When a reader requested that I come up with a waffle recipe, I knew from the get go that they would contain Greek yogurt. Some of the best homemade waffles I’ve ever had contained yogurt, and it was automatic fit for my attempt at making a low carb, gluten free version. I had to give this one a lot of thought though. I’ve had some low carb pancake recipes fall pretty flat on me, and getting the waffles to hold together was going to be the real challenge. I waffled back and forth (ha, ha, get it?) on how many eggs to add, how much almond flour, and I had one batch that tasted great but came apart when I pulled up the top of the waffle iron. With a little tinkering, I think I may have worked it out.


The Results:
I am pretty excited about these because they really taste like regular waffles. And they made my whole house smell like waffles all day. Even after coming back from running errands all morning, I could smell that wonderful, rich breakfasty smell of waffles. My kids didn’t know the difference, they gobbled them up happily. I topped them with butter and maple syrup (in my case, sugar free), but they’d be great with any number of toppings. I am thinking of whipped cream and berries for them next.

Now, I will confess that they aren’t as crispy as I would like, but I suspect that this is more due to my waffle iron than to the recipe. My waffle iron is a cheapy, and has a tendency to steam the waffles. It did the same thing with some conventional waffles made with flour that I made for my kids this summer. I don’t think almond flour waffles will ever get as light and crisp as they can be when made with flour, but when made with a better waffle iron, I think they’d turn out a bit crispier. Perhaps a reader with a good waffle iron can give it a go and let me know? The leftovers did crisp up a bit more when I put them in the toaster the next day. But the flavour was so good, I really didn’t care too much about the crispiness.

These delicious low carb waffles are a popular keto breakfast recipe!

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Bread
Servings: 10 waffles
Calories: 173 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated Swerve Sweetener
  • 2 tbsp vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 oz Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp butter melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat waffle maker and grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt. Set aside.

  3. Separate the whites and yolks of two of the eggs. In a clean dry bowl, beat the whites until they form stiff peaks.
  4. In another medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, egg yolks and remaining eggs until combined. Stir in almond flour mixture, then add melted butter and almond milk, and stir vigorously until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in beaten egg whites.
  5. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of batter on each 4-inch section of the prepared waffle iron (my waffle iron is two 4-inch square sections. For round waffle irons, use your best judgement on the amount of batter needed). Close iron and let cook 4-5 minutes, or until waffles are golden brown. Remove waffles and repeat with remaining batter.

    my waffles turn out "non-crisp" if i use too much egg, or if i don't use enough oil to grease the iron before i spread the batter. using oil really helped once i started doing that instead of using butter!
    these look amazing, by the way! love the golden brown variation in them!

    I love that opening question. (and sorry for the long answer)I believe in being happy – no matter what. But I think I was lucky to grow up in a way that most people weren't. Our family wasn't well off with money, but they are hard workers and good people and at the end of the day, they keep work at work and come home to enjoy what they can with the family.
    A few years ago I had a position at a company that paid very well. I was young and making very very good money. But it was terrible. I was given one day off for my mother's death, caught shingles, made to work with terrible people in a very hostile environment.
    I left and have never looked back. Now, I love my job, am broke, and HAPPY. It's was never the $$. It never will be. It's about accepting what is right in front of you and loving every moment of it. I sing to my cats and pup every day and make Handsome give me one happy thought at the end of every night and thats all the more in this world that I will ever want…. That to me is good living.
    SORRY!!!! Hope it wasn't too long of a reply – Waffles… waffles are also a very important part of good living 😉

    Wanted to say here that I make low-carb waffles regularly with a similar recipe- but mine calls for a bit of oil in the batter- when I switched to coconut oil in the batter it made ALL the difference with the crunchy goldenness of my waffles…very dessert like finish to them now…even on my cheap waffle maker.

    I just came across your recipe while looking for low carb breakfast alternatives to eggs. You can imagine the excitement when I found your low carb WAFFLE recipe. Once I’ve made them I’ll let you know how crispy they turn out. I believe you have a wonderful recipe however I plan on using coconut oil in place of 1/2 of the butter, powdered xylitol, and unsweetened coconut milk. (I use it when I make omelets and they turn out so fluffy). I am so excited. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

      Coconut oil as a replacement is fine and I’ve been told might make the waffles more crispy than butter. I haven’t tried it myself yet, though I use coconut oil a lot for sauteing and cooking.

          Hmmm, that shouldn’t have happened. Funny, mine weren’t very crispy, but were totally cooked through on the inside. I am not really sure what to suggest. Does your waffle iron have different heat settings? If so, I would turn it down to make sure they don’t burn on the outside, while the inside gets more cooked.

      Yes, you could do sour cream. But another alternative is to drain regular yogurt to make it into greek yogurt. It’s easy, but it does take a bit of time.

    Love this recipe. I substituted sour cream for the yogurt in the recipe. The first time I made the waffles I thought they were a little “soggy”. But tonight when I made them I “dried” them out by putting them in warm oven for a few minutes. (I laid the waffles directly on oven rack) Thanks again for another great recipe.

      That was going to be my suggestion as well – put them in the oven on low on a baking sheet for a few minutes, helps with the crisping.

    Hello! I made these for supper tonight and they were amazing! They weren’t crisp but they were so light and the taste was great. I even made a couple mistakes due to not reading ahead in the recipe and they were still wonderful! Looking forward to toasting the leftovers tomorrow!! I am so happy to have found your blog! Today alone I made the cinnamon scones, the waffles, and put the crisp topping from the rhubarb crisp on top of some roasted apples with cinnamon instead, and over the weekend I made the magic cookie bars. Yum!

    If I cannot find granulated erythritol in-store, what should I use instead (and how much of it)? I’m ordering it online now, but I wanted to make these long before the package would arrive.

    Just made these waffles and they’re wonderful! Husband and son enjoyed them with fried eggs on them and they don’t typically like my ‘low carb’ adventures in the kitchen! I’m going to keep the dry mix made up in containers so all I have to do is add the wet ingredients. My waffle maker is round so I don’t really know how much I ate but I did eat too much, two whole round ones! lol I’ll check blood sugar in an hour and note the damage. Portion control next time, of course, but it’s been SO long since I had a crunchy waffle I couldn’t resist this time! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

    June 14, 2015 at 9:05 am

    These were FABULOUS !!! And I have tried about every waffle recipe on the web. Many have a nice texture but lack flavor. These were yummy.

    However, I must confess that I made a few tweaks using some ingredients that Carolyn often adds. I wanted a bit of a nutty flavor to them so tweaked per below.

    I used only 1 cup of the almond flour and replace the rest with 1/4 cup golden flax meal, and 1 TBS of psyllium husk powder.

    I also added 1 tsp of vanilla and bourbon each (which I think adds a caramel type flavor). And added 1/2 pkg of rapid dry yeast (for flavor..love the taste of the yeast risen Belgian waffles). I also reduced the almond milk to 2 TBS to give me a thicker batter.

    Found using a 2 TBS ice cream disher loaded as full as it would go (total about 1/4 cup per scoop) and used 1 scoop per each wedge of my Belgian waffle maker. Baked them 3 1/2 – 4 min.

    They were spectacular. Great flavor thanks mostly to the yogurt. Big, tall, crunchy exterior, soft interior. I would challenge anyone to tell that they were low carb.

    Thanks Carolyn. Great recipe that permitted my need to fiddle….will try the basic one next time and am sure I will love it as well.

    My endless research has led me to the low carb, high (good) fats/protein path – challenging when you have 2 other children who LOVE their carbs and a diabetic who loves fruit!
    Made these waffles for us tonight – first ever try of waffles in our household – and they were a complete smash! I’m already thinking of the toppings I can try – cottage cheese & berry compote (yum!).
    We didn’t mind that they weren’t crisp…because my kids didn’t know any better! 🙂 Even my very fussy Celiac husband liked them!
    Look forward to sampling more of your work in the future… 🙂

    There are a lot of complainers early on in the comments about the waffles not being crispy. Regardless, I made these today and I thought they came out great! I only made them for one person (me!) & froze the extra waffles for another day. They will probably be crispier when I toast them a la eggo. They aren’t as crispy as a wheat flour waffle, but who cares? They are delicious & healthy. One day I made Carolyn’s Vanilla Cake Waffles for my 82 year old Type 2 mother & she said “I like my waffles crispier…” & I said “These are so much better for you, plus they’re delicious.” Then when she saw my homemade stevia sweetened maple syrup she said “I like my syrup to come from a tree…” Grrrrr. “Me too!” I say, however…this is so much healthier for you. In trying to prevent myself from ending up in the same place as my mother, I have made some sacrifices & if having waffles that are not super crispy is one of them, I’m fine with that! Yet another life lesson from Keith & Mick: You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find…

    Got to that time of the month when I needed something sweet with my tea….. Pinned this recipe yesterday, dug out the waffle iron from the back of the cupboard ( thank goodness I didn’t give that away when I went low carb….. Embarrassed to say I devoured two……. They look realistic,made the satisfying pop when cooking and next time I’m having them with bacon , or strawberries and cream …… Mmmmm
    I left out the whey protein inadvertently …… What is it supposed to do because mine seemed ok ?
    Substituted ( I needed to have this waffle and not shop ) 10% Turkish yoghurt, Jordan’s sugar free vanilla syrup ( 2 tbs- could have done with one more ) for sweetener listed and full fat cream for almond milk .
    Thank you , I was sceptical but they were a real treat !

    I didn’t read through the recipe so I didn’t know I was supposed to separate the eggs. Instead I mixed 6oz. of cottage cheese (I didn’t have the yogurt) with the eggs in my Vitamix until it was very creamy. I “dumped” the remaining ingredients in and processed until smooth. I left out the erythritol and used plain protein powder because I use my waffles as sandwich bread. Even with all my changes they were delicious! I fixed grilled cheese sandwiches with them, yummy Thanks!

This recipe was fluffy and worked even better than the old normal recipe I used before (and i didn’t even separate the eggs!). I will be trying it in the Belgian iron soon!

My protein was unflavored, so I used a little sugar free Torani French Vanilla coffee syrup. I know this mucked with the macros, but I didn’t care, plus everything else used was true to the recipe. They turned out better than any low carb recipe I’ve ever tried & got me through a waffle craving that was about to destroy me. Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe.

    I actually made these years ago and accidentally separated all of the yolks from the whites and whipped all of the egg whites to a stiff peak then folded them into the batter. They turned out super crispy in my waffle iron (I used coconut oil in the iron). I even make a batch and freeze them then pop them in the toaster for lazy morning breakfasts. They are the best waffles I have ever made that are gluten free! Thank you Carolyn!
