Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Melted Butter or Coconut Oil
  • 1 tbsp Sweetener (Erythritol or Monk Fruit)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Mixing the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps.

Adding Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined. Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.

Cooking the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Grease the waffle iron with butter or coconut oil. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.

Serving

Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free syrup, berries, whipped cream (unsweetened), or chopped nuts. For a savory option, top with avocado and a fried egg.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

Coconut flour is very absorbent, so it's important to let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking. Adjust sweetener to your taste preferences. Consider using a higher fat topping to balance the lower fat content of coconut flour compared to almond flour.

FAQ

  • Why is my waffle batter so thick?

    Coconut flour is very absorbent. The batter should be thick, but if it's excessively thick, add a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk or water to thin it slightly.
  • Can I add chocolate chips to the batter?

    Yes, you can add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter for added flavor. Be sure to factor in the added carbs and calories.
  • How do I store leftover waffles?

    Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
