Easy Flourless Almond Low Carb Waffles – Keto, Gluten Free, Grain Free, THM S
Nothing says weekend to me more than a golden waffle dripping with butter and [easyazon_link identifier=”B01G4I8WCE” locale=”US” tag=”mercyandgrati-20″]syrup[/easyazon_link]. I love to make a big batch of low carb waffles and then refrigerate some to pop in the toaster on busy mornings.
How to make Low Carb Waffles Crispy
Low carb waffles tend to be on the softer side. I prefer crisp waffles. After a little experimenting, I’ve realized the best way to get a crisp waffle with alternative flour is to cook it in the waffle iron, let it cool, and then pop it in the toaster. These are so big I divide into 4 pieces and just put one piece in each side of my toaster. I’m fine with just 2 or 3 of the triangles for breakfast. They are very filling.
Which waffle iron should I use?
The waffle iron I have can be found here:
Can I freeze Low Carb Waffles?
These waffles freeze well! Make a big batch, freeze some, and then just pop them in the toaster whenever you want one. They are so filling that sometimes I’ll just eat 1/2 of a waffle with some yogurt and berries or on the side with eggs and bacon.
How many waffles does this make?
Depending on the size of your waffle iron you may only get 3 Belgian size waffles or 6-8 smaller ones. I just got my 9-year-old this mini pink waffle maker for her birthday. It makes Eggo sized waffles. She can use it all by herself and it’s just really cute! I couldn’t resist when I saw it on sale.
What syrup can I use for keto?
I topped these with Lakanto Monkfruit Syrup. Yum!

Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet or my sweetener
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Put the almonds and sweetener in the blender and blend until finely ground. Add the other ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 of the batter into the waffle iron. If you have a smaller waffle iron you will use less batter. Just pour enough to cover 3/4 of the bottom grill. Cook until golden brown.
- To make crisper waffles let the waffles cool and then toast in the toaster.

These waffles are great. Very similar in taste and texture to a regular carby waffle. At first I thought they were kinda dry but then I realized I forgot to add the almond milk! Doh! I will add next time and they will be perfect. I also added a couple pinches of salt to my batter.
Amber says
Is it 415 calories if you eat all 4 waffles?
Taryn says
No, that is for one large Belgian waffle. They are very filling. I’m satisfied with 3/4 of one.
Chrissy N says
Can I use an equivalent amount of coconut sugar to the sweetener you have in this recipe?
Taryn says
You would need twice as much. I haven’t tested it so I can’t promise they will turn out but hypothetically I think coconut sugar should work.
Ann Harrison says
Hi Taryn, Just getting started on this journey to better health for hubby and me….I so want to try your Easy Flourless Almond Low Carb Waffles but being senior citizens it’s hard for us to purchase all the special ingredients that so many recipes call for…I did purchase some Almond Flour this weekend with the intention of starting to change out our old ingredients for new healthy ones….could I use the Almond Flour in place of the ground almonds and do you think it would be the same amount. I thank you for sharing all of your lovely recipes here for others to be able to use….I know that I am going to need a lot of help getting us going on this new journey and website is going to be a very big part of our journey.
Thank you,
Ann Harrison
Taryn says
Hi Ann, thank you for the kind note. Yes, 2 cups of almond flour will work. Good luck getting started! You are good to feel great 😃
Ann Harrison says
Thank you for your response….breakfast this weekend is going to be amazing!!!!!
Chandra says
Hi Taryn,
Is the result of grinding the blanched almonds the same as almond meal?
I have an overabundance of the almond meal, but not the slivered almonds, so was hoping I could substitute.
Thanks for the recipe!
Chandra
Taryn says
Yes, you can sub in 2 cups of almond meal.
peggy mauer says
If trying to make this DF what would be a good sub for the cottage cheese?
Taryn says
Coconut cream might work but I’m not 100% positive it will. If you try it let me know!
Shawna Adams says
Oh My Yum! Tried this recipe this morning- SO AMAZING. This is the BEST waffle/ pancake recipe on the internet. Trust me- I should know, I’ve tried them all.
Keep up the good work and the great recipes!
Alice says
Thanks for recipe. Is there a substitute for cottage cheese
Taryn says
You can’t taste it at all if that’s your concern. Ricotta cheese would work too.
Sandra says
Waffles! You have answered my waffle dreams. I try to eat a low carb diet but waffles are one of my downfalls. I LOVE these!
And the cottage cheese? GENIUS! Everyone forgets that cottage cheese IS cheese, a lower calorie, lower fat cheese.
Joanie says
I love that you can freeze these delicious waffles, it makes my mornings so much easier!
Denise says
Ok. Any keto waffle I’ve ever made “falls” (if you will) once it has cooled down. So I’ve never been able to freeze them
Because they were flat messes. Do these retain their “fluffiness” once cool?
Taryn says
These don’t fall when cool. They are too dense to call fluffy but they do freeze well.
Amy Nash says
I love a good waffle too but have also had the problem of them not turning out as crispy as I would like. What a good idea to just pop them in the toaster to crisp up the outside! These are calling my name for this weekend!
Jelena says
What would be the equivalent of using pre-made almond flour?
Taryn says
I have not tried with almond flour yet. I would start with 1 cup and then check the consistency. It should be thick but pourable. Just add 1/4 at a time until it seems right. It’s much easier to add a little more almond flour then to increase the liquids.
Liz Ogden says
Did you try it with Almond flour and figure out a measurement?
Stephanie says
I used ground almond flour (Bobs Red Mill) and measures the two cups and it was perfect. These waffles are fabulous and will be a staple in Our house. The difficulty I am having is in the serving size. I used a regular waffle iron and got 12 waffles. I only eat two at a time but wonder what the nutritional facts are for that.
Becca Croucher says
This looks so tasty! I haven’t had waffles in so long. It’s nice to find a gluten free recipe for them.
Heather says
We have an upright Belgian waffle maker (Cuisinart) that has a premeasured cup for batter, it’s approximately 1C. Would you equate your batter to be consistent with a regular waffle batter?
Taryn says
Yes. Your measuring cup should work for this.
Kim says
could I use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese
Taryn says
I think so. I would only use half the amount since it is drier.
