1–2 tbsp keto sweetener (optional, for sweet waffles)

-
3 large eggs

¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
-
½ cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet version)

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle iron and let it heat fully. This is key for getting that crispy texture.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
-
Sweetener (if using)
Make sure there are no lumps.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then mix in:
-
Melted butter
-
Almond milk
-
Vanilla extract
Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes (this helps the coconut flour absorb moisture).
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Lightly grease your waffle maker. Scoop batter into the center and spread slightly.
Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until:
-
The waffles are golden brown
-
Edges are crispy
-
Steam stops coming out
👉 Tip: Don’t open too early or they may break!
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove and serve immediately for maximum crispiness.

Double the batch and freeze for later
