Low Carb Waffles
Description
Low Carb Waffles rely on almond flour and whey protein as the main dry ingredients, which gives them a dense yet tender texture compared to traditional wheat-based waffles. The inclusion of oat fiber adds bulk and fiber, helping maintain structure in a flour-less batter. The combination of almond milk, eggs, and melted butter contributes moisture and richness, balancing the nuttiness of the almond flour. Cooking on a waffle iron develops a gentle crisp on the exterior while keeping the inside soft.
The recipe involves mixing dry ingredients separately, then blending wet ingredients before combining and resting briefly. Pouring the batter in small increments helps control waffle size and doneness. The waffles can be topped with sweet or savory accompaniments depending on preference.
Because the batter thickens upon standing, adjusting the almond milk quantity during mixing ensures the right consistency before cooking. This recipe works well for low-carb and gluten-free diets seeking alternatives to traditional waffles without sacrificing texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour superfine
- 3 tablespoons oat fiber
- 3/4 cup whey protein powder unflavored
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt fine grind
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted melted and cooled
Instructions

- Pour batter into waffle maker in 1/4 cup increments. Cook following manufacture's directors or until desired doneness. Serve with your favorite topping.
Notes
- Adjust the liquid amount as needed, starting with 3/4 cup almond milk and adding more for desired batter consistency.
- Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking to let ingredients hydrate and thicken.
