FAQs
Can I use other types of flour instead of almond flour?
Almond flour is preferred for keto because it is low in carbs and adds moisture. Using other flours may change the texture and carb count significantly.
What kind of protein powder works best for this recipe?
Whey or plant-based protein powders both work well. Choose an unflavored or vanilla variety for the best taste and texture.

Ingredients
Waffle Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of protein powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Add eggs: Crack 2 large eggs into the dry ingredients and whisk until you form a smooth batter with no lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Preheat waffle maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready to cook the waffles evenly.
- Cook waffles: Lightly grease the waffle plates with a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil. Pour enough batter onto the waffle maker to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker and serve warm. You can top them with keto-friendly syrup, butter, or fresh berries for added flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the waffle maker is properly greased to prevent sticking.
- You can use any flavor of protein powder you prefer, but unflavored or vanilla works best.
- For extra fluffiness, you may separate eggs and whip the whites before folding into the batter.
- Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
