-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
-
1 tablespoon granulated keto sweetener (for sweet waffles)

🔪 Equipment Needed
-
Waffle maker
-
Mixing bowls
-
Whisk or hand mixer
-
Measuring cups & spoons
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle maker and let it heat up fully. This is key for achieving that crispy outer texture.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Whisk until evenly blended and no lumps remain.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together:
-
Eggs
-
Almond milk
-
Melted butter
-
Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until you get a smooth batter. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes so the coconut flour absorbs moisture and thickens slightly.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Lightly grease your waffle maker with oil or butter.
-
Pour batter into the center (amount depends on your waffle maker size)
-
Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy
💡 Tip: Don’t open the waffle maker too early—this can cause the waffles to break apart.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately for best crispiness.
