These easy keto waffles are flat-out delicious and sure to fool your tastebuds. Yes, they are that good! The waffles are tender, fluffy, crispy, and not at all eggy.
Plus, these have the perfect texture and the same flavor as regular waffles, minus all the carbs and gluten. Yup, it’s just as good as traditional waffles. I mean, what more can you ask for?
An added plus is that these can be called psyllium husk waffles since it uses a small amount allowing the keto waffles to also be high in fiber.
Serve these with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup or fresh berries for a healthy breakfast your whole family will enjoy. Or even serve with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream as dessert!
I have a recipe for keto chicken and waffles that my family devoured using this same basic recipe for keto-friendly waffles. It’s one you should also check out.

When I set out to make the best keto waffle recipe that would be both keto and gluten-free, I didn’t stop until I achieved a waffle that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Not only did they have to taste amazing, but I didn’t want high inflammation ingredients like what you find in typical waffles.
Was that really too much to ask? Well, I am thrilled to report that I accomplished what I think to be an ideal low-carb waffle.
Keto Waffles
How did I achieve this? Creating a waffle batter using cream cheese and eggs but also almond, coconut flour, keto-friendly sweetener, and a little psyllium husk powder for stability and added fiber.
The addition of a tiny amount of psyllium powder is what makes the waffles crispy, plus it also makes these a great high-fiber breakfast option.
Imagine having a delicious way to add more fiber to your ketogenic diet.
If you are a fan of adding fiber to your keto diet, we have a whole collection of keto high-fiber recipes that you should check out!
I love that combination of ingredients, including the extra fiber, produced the perfect fluffy waffles I was after, and I can’t wait for you to try them!
Not only are these waffles super easy to make, but they also double batch and freeze beautifully, allowing you to keto meal plan simply.
Then it’s just a matter of using a toaster or toaster oven to warm them up.
These waffles are also loaded with nutrition and fiber, therefore, quite filling, allowing you to enjoy a healthy waffle recipe.

You’ll need a waffle iron to make this recipe. I used a Belgium waffle maker. The recipe makes six large waffles; a serving is half a Belgian waffle.
Half of our keto Belgium waffle has 4.9 grams of net carbs and 18.3 grams of protein that will keep you nice and satisfied.
That being said, you can also make them on a griddle for low-carb pancakes.
This recipe for low-carb waffles comes together quite simply for a quick keto breakfast.
Serve your healthy waffles with fresh berries, some whipped cream, or your favorite sugar-free syrups. I added below my favs.
The following are all the simple ingredients you’ll need. Note that the full-printable recipe card is at the bottom of the page.
Ingredients and Materials Needed
- Finely milled almond flour measured and sifted
- Coconut flour
- Granulated sugar substitute
- Psyllium husk powder, just one tablespoon
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Full-fat cream cheese softened at room temperature
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs, at room temperature
- A little water
- Unsalted butter, melted or coconut oil
- Waffle Maker
Best Sugar Substitutes For Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free Waffles
As far as choosing your sweetener to make it low-carb, my top choice is a monk fruit and erythritol blend.
My personal favorite is Lakanto’s brand. But you can also use Swerve an erythritol sugar substitute.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for most of my baked goods.
Would you like to save this?
However, if using Pyure you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter choice.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda for baking or a generic brand of the same. It will work with great success.
I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.
Low Carb Syrup Options
The following are my favorite sugar-free syrup options that are sugar-free and keto-friendly.
- Lakanto Maple Syrup
- ChocZero Maple Syrup
- Pyure Maple Syrup ( made with stevia)
- Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup
Different Variations
To give this keto waffle recipe a flavor variation, consider using one of the following ingredients:
- Add half a cup of fresh blueberries
- Add 1/3 cup of sugar-free mini chocolate chips
- Melt 1/3 cup of almond butter or peanut butter and use this instead of sugar-free syrup.

Can I leave out the psyllium husk powder and replace it with something else. Don’t like psyllium when cooked as turns everything dark purple!
Hilda Solares

Hi Rebecca, I use the NOW brand of psyllium husk powder and it's never turned purple. Having said this the psyllium is added to give more stability to the waffles but you can opt to leave out or use a tablespoon of collagen powder instead.

Where does the melted butter come in? Is that for greasing the waffle iron?
Hilda Solares

Hi Gail, yes the melted butter is for the greasing of the waffle iron. I updated the recipe to make this step clearer. Thanks!
