Ingredients For Keto Pumpkin Waffles
One of the best parts about these low-carb pumpkin waffles is how simple the ingredients are. You’ll only need a handful of pantry staples to whip up a batch of warm, cozy waffles that are perfect for fall. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Eggs – Use large, room-temperature eggs to help the batter mix smoothly and give your waffles structure. Room temp eggs also help avoid that “eggy” taste.
- Cream Cheese – Softened full-fat cream cheese adds creaminess and helps create a thick, smooth batter. Make sure it’s at room temperature to prevent lumps.
- Coconut Flour – A great low-carb and gluten-free flour alternative, coconut flour adds body and texture to the waffles while keeping the carb count low.
- Pumpkin Puree – For that rich pumpkin flavor and soft texture. Homemade pumpkin puree is great, but canned (unsweetened) works just as well.
- Sweetener – Choose a keto-friendly powdered sweetener like erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit. Powdered versions blend more easily into the batter.
- Baking Powder – A little baking powder gives your waffles a beautiful rise, making them light and fluffy.
- Vanilla Extract – Use a high-quality vanilla extract for that warm, sweet aroma that pairs perfectly with pumpkin and spice.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – A cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can use store-bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice for that classic fall flavor.
- Salt – Just a pinch of salt enhances all the sweet and spicy flavors and balances the richness from the eggs and cream cheese.
How To Make These Keto Pumpkin Waffles
These keto pumpkin waffles are incredibly easy to make and perfect for beginners—no fancy skills needed! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get that perfect fluffy texture every time:
- Preheat your waffle maker. Begin by preheating your waffle iron to medium heat. This ensures the waffles cook evenly and prevents them from sticking. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter if needed.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is fully combined and the batter is thick but pourable.
- Cook the waffles. Spoon the batter into the center of your preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat and serve. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite low-carb toppings like butter, sugar-free syrup, or whipped cream.
Best Toppings for Keto Pumpkin Waffles
These low-carb pumpkin waffles are absolutely delicious on their own, but adding a few toppings can take them to the next level. Whether you’re making them for a cozy fall breakfast, brunch, or a festive treat, here are some of the best keto-friendly toppings to try:
- Butter – A pat of butter melts perfectly over warm waffles, adding a rich and creamy finish.
- Sugar-Free Whipped Cream – Light, fluffy, and slightly sweet, whipped cream adds a delightful contrast to the warm spiced waffles.
- Keto Caramel Sauce – Drizzle with homemade sugar-free caramel sauce for a decadent twist without the sugar.
- Chopped Pecans or Walnuts – Add crunch and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with pumpkin spice.
- Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips – A few chocolate chips melt right into the waffles and create little pockets of gooey, chocolatey goodness.
How to Store Keto Pumpkin Waffles
These low-carb pumpkin waffles are perfect for making ahead and enjoying throughout the week. Here’s how to store them properly to keep them fresh and tasty:
- Room Temperature – You can store leftover waffles at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before storing to avoid moisture buildup.
- Fridge – For longer storage, place the waffles in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. They stay soft and flavorful—perfect for quick breakfasts!
