In our house, weekends are for baking and making keto pancakes and waffles. I love both sweet and savory waffles, and they are a staple for weekend breakfast. 

One of the best things about these gluten-free keto waffles it that they are super crispy and golden on the outside while being super airy and delicious. 

Learn how to make the best keto waffles in less than 20 minutes without all the carbs. Trust me, these paleo waffles are better than regular waffles, especially if drowned in tons of zero sugar maple syrup, low carb berries, or crispy bacon and avocado. 

Watch the short video below to see how easy it is to make this perfect keto waffles every time. 

Keto Waffles Ingredients

I got my waffle maker for my birthday a few years back and didn’t use it for a while as I couldn’t imagine that there’s a way to make gluten-free keto waffles with no flours. Here are the simple ingredients you’ll need for delicious waffles:

waffles with almond flour ingredients
  • eggs
  • cream cheese
  • almond flour
  • butter
  • sweetener – Use your favorite low carb sweetener such as Erythritol, Swerve, Monk Fruit, or coconut sugar if paleo.
  • Vanilla extract – Make sure to use plenty as it adds a nice flavor.
  • baking powder

How To Make Crispy Keto Waffles

  1. Beat 4 eggs and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until frothy.
  2. Incorporate the cream cheese and continue mixing.
  3. Add the dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth waffle batter. Let it rest for a few minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat your waffle maker and grease it well.
  5. Pour enough batter and cook according to your waffle maker instructions, for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Can I make Coconut Flour Keto Waffles?

If you’re wondering how to make nut-free keto waffles with coconut flour instead of almond flour, learn that it’s possible. 

In this recipe, the ratio of 1:4 (almond flour to coconut flour) works perfectly. This means you can replace almond flour with 1/4 cup of coconut flour. The instructions remain the same, and I recommend you let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the batter to thicken as the coconut flour soaks in the liquids.

How to Store Keto Waffles

This low carb waffle recipe makes about 6 waffles that are perfect to have on hand during the week. If you prefer to make more and store them, you can double or triple the ingredients.

To store these gluten-free waffles, let them cool and place them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week. 

They also freeze well, and I was surprised to see that they freezer-friendly. I pop them back into the waffle maker to get the best crispy keto waffles.

Coconut Flour Keto Pancakes Ingredients

I’m a huge fan of coconut flour since it’s so low in carbs, it’s packed with fiber, flavor and it’s way cheaper than almond flour. I use coconut flour to drastically reduce the carbs in keto desserts and baked goods.

Here are all the necessary ingredients

  • eggs
  • coconut flour
  • heavy whipping cream or canned coconut milk*
  • butter or coconut oil*
  • cream cheese or coconut cream*
  • vanilla extract
  • cinnamon
  • Erythritol, Xylitol or Honey*
  • baking powder
  • lemon zest, optional but very tasty’

*substitutions for the paleo pancakes version

How to Make Coconut Flour Pancakes?

It’s pretty easy to make these keto pancakes. If you have made classic pancakes in the past, you’ll have no problem cooking these coconut flour beauties. One thing to keep in mind is to stick with the measurements I give you.

Coconut flour is different than wheat flour since it’s gluten-free and low in carbs.

  1. To start making the pancakes you’ll need to combine the eggs and the wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer to make the process easier. A whisk does the job too.
  2. After a few minutes add coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and keep mixing until you get a perfect coconut flour pancakes batter.
  3. To cook low carb coconut flour pancakes you’ll need a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt a cube of butter and pour 1/4 pancake batter. Let the pancake cook on each side and continue until there’s no pancake batter left.
  4. Now, that you’ve made coconut flour pancakes keto, it’s time to devour them! Serve with plenty of berries and sugar-free maple syrup (my favorite!).

How many carbs are in the keto pancakes?

This recipe makes 3 servings of 2 keto pancakes. Each serving has 5g net carbs.

Is Coconut Flour Keto Friendly?

Yes, coconut flour is perfect for a ketogenic diet, as it’s very low in carbs and high in fiber. It’s my favorite low carb replacement for flour.

How many carbs are in coconut flour? Each tablespoon of coconut flour has 60 calories, 4g carbohydrates, 3g dietary fiber, so that’s a total of 1g net carbs.

NET CARBS = TOTAL CARBODYDRATES – FIBER – SUGAR ALCOHOLS (ERYTHRITOL, XYLITOL)

Can I Replace Coconut Flour with Almond Flour?

In this particular recipe trying to replace the coconut flour with almond flour will make pancakes completely different in macros and texture.

However, you can use almond flour instead, but you’ll have to add about 1 cup almond flour.

How to Store Keto Pancakes 

These low carb pancakes are best served fresh, straight out of the stove. 

I made 6 pancakes, meaning 2 servings that are enough for 3 people or perfect to enjoy during the week. 

If I make a batch of the gluten-free pancakes over the weekend, I store the rest of the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge. They make the perfect keto breakfast for the next week. 

Keto Pancakes with coconut flour are freezer-friendly, so you can double or triple this recipe and make more pancakes. They freeze just like traditional pancakes and are great to have on hand. 

Are These Paleo Pancakes?

The best thing about this recipe is that they are super low carb, keto, and paleo-friendly, with only a few ingredients switches.

All the ingredients are simple and low carb that are in my pantry almost every time. For a paleo pancakes version, substitute the dairy product to non-dairy alternatives such as coconut cream or coconut oil.

You can use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of Erythritol if you aren’t a fan of keto sweeteners.

The rest of the process of making gluten-free pancakes remains the same and takes only a few minutes.

When I think of summer, blueberries and lemon are always on my mind. These two ingredients are either part of my daily lemonade or combined to make this fantastic low carb blueberry bread.

I know you loved my egg-free keto bread and it’s a top-rated recipe on this blog. I decided to create another keto bread that doesn’t taste eggy and perfect as a keto dessert or low carb bread.

When I meal prep, I’m always making a dessert for the week. It’s either this keto blueberry bread, delicious keto brownies, or a batch of the softest keto chocolate chip cookies.

The truth is I love my sweets and try to find the best sugar-free and gluten-free recipes. There’s no better way to start the morning than with a slice or two of this low carb blueberry bread and a serving of keto yogurt or with a mug of warm Bulletproof Coffee. So Delicious and Filling!

Ingredients for Low Carb Keto Blueberry Bread

This keto blueberry bread needs only a few low carb ingredients, a small loaf pan, and an oven to bake it. These are all the ingredients you’ll need:

  • Eggs: It’s best to use large eggs at room temperature.
  • Almond Flour & Coconut Flour: We are using a combo of these two low carb flours to get the perfect bread texture. I recommend using both flours in this specific recipe.
  • Blueberries: My favorite low carb fruit to use in this keto pound cake. You can use strawberries, raspberries. Fresh or Frozen? Both are perfect!
  • Sweetener: Erythritol is the best sweetener because it’s cheap, low in carbs, and doesn’t impact blood sugar. Monk Fruit sweetener it’s also great in this recipe, and it has no aftertaste.
  • Heavy Cream or Coconut Cream: For a dairy-free gluten-free blueberry bread, use coconut cream (the canned one). It’s as creamy as heavy cream, and you’ll make a delicious paleo blueberry bread
  • Vanilla Extract & Baking Powder: 2 ingredients that never miss from my keto baked goods. One adds tons of flavor and the other one, a leavening agent that makes the bread super airy and delicious
