Coconut Flour Waffles Recipe

These easy Coconut Flour Waffles are made with just 4 simple ingredients – eggs, cream, coconut flour and salt.

They’re light, fluffy and naturally low carb, making them a delicious option for a keto breakfast or whenever you’re craving waffles. The coconut flour gives the waffles a lovely texture while keeping the recipe simple.

I’m slowly re-stocking my kitchen after moving across the world and starting from scratch. My latest acquisition is a waffle maker.

So, I set to work creating the simplest as possible, easy keto waffle recipe – with as few ingredients as possible.

There are only 4 ingredients in these waffles that are low in net carbs, and you probably already have them in your kitchen.

You can enjoy these keto coconut flour waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, berries, lemon curd, butter or your favourite low-carb waffle toppings.

And because coconut flour is very absorbent, you only need a small amount to make the waffle batter.

All you need is a waffle maker (find one here) and you can be enjoying Keto Waffles with Coconut Flour in no time!

Even when I’m going through phases of not following keto, I still make these waffles because they are just so much lighter and taste so much better than regular waffles or normal waffles that are full of wheat flour and other carby ingredients.

Why You’ll Love These Coconut Flour Waffles

• Only 4 ingredients – You only need eggs, cream, coconut flour and salt.
• Quick and easy – Mix the batter, let it thicken and cook in your waffle maker.
• Low carb and keto friendly – They’re made without wheat flour or added sugar.
• Great for sweet or savoury toppings – Try berries and whipped cream, or serve them with eggs and butter.
• Easy to customise – Add vanilla and sweetener for sweet waffles, or keep the batter savoury.
• Coconut flour waffles without almond flour – This recipe is a simple option if you prefer baking with coconut flour.

Keto Coconut Flour Waffles Ingredients

You only need 4 simple ingredients to make these coconut flour waffles:

• Eggs – The main ingredient and what gives the waffles structure.
• Heavy cream – Adds richness and helps create a tender, fluffy waffle.
• Coconut flour – Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so you only need 1/4 cup for the recipe.
• Salt – Just a pinch helps bring out the flavour.

Because coconut flour absorbs liquid so readily, allow the batter to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking. If it becomes too thick, simply whisk in a little more cream or milk until you have a waffle batter that is easy to spoon into your waffle maker.

I’ve listed heavy cream, because that’s what I used in this instance. But, feel free to use whatever cream you have in your kitchen to create waffles with the perfect fluffy texture.

If you’d like to sweeten the waffle batter, then just add in a few tablespoons of stevia or your sweetener of choice.

For protein rich pancakes, just whisk in a half a scoop of protein powder. You may need to add in a couple more spoons of cream or milk to loosen up the batter if it’s been thickened by protein powder.

How To Make Coconut Flour Waffles 

To actually make the easy coconut flour waffles, start by whisking 4 eggs together in a bowl, until smooth.

You could separate the eggs and whisk the egg yolks and egg whites separately before folding them together, for extra light and fluffy Belgian waffles.

Then whisk in the cream. I just used pouring cream but use whatever cream you have to hand. 

I’ve also tested this recipe with unsweetened almond milk, instead of the heavy cream, and it works perfectly. So, you could even use almond milk, or even coconut milk, instead if you want the waffles to be dairy free. 

Add the salt and coconut flour and whisk until you have created a coconut flour waffle batter. You could also add in half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a rich vanilla flavored traditional waffle experience.

Another option is to add a little xanthan gum or a pinch of gluten-free baking powder for extra fluffy gluten-free waffles.

Then, heat you waffle maker (or Belgian waffle maker), be sure to grease it well with either a spray oil, coconut oil or a pat of butter. When the waffle iron is ready, pour in the waffle batter to fill (but not overfill) the waffle maker.

Cook the waffles according to the directions that come with your waffle maker.

Once the waffles are golden brown and done to your liking, move them carefully to a plate. I use an egg lifter to gently remove the waffles from the very hot waffle maker.

Top your fluffy waffles with your low carb, keto toppings of choice and enjoy. While I usually go for sweet toppings, sometimes I’ll top my waffles with fried eggs (as pictured above) for a hearty, protein rich breakfast of savory waffles.

You can meal prep and make the waffles ahead of time, or make a double batch and store extras in the fridge and simply reheat in the waffle iron, toaster oven or microwave for a speedy and easy breakfast of healthy waffles when you have a busy morning.

Coconut Flour Waffle Tips

Why is my waffle batter so thick?
Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid. If the batter becomes too thick after resting, whisk in another tablespoon or two of cream or milk until it reaches a thick but spoonable consistency.

Why are my waffles sticking?
Make sure your waffle maker is fully heated and well greased before adding the batter. Coconut flour waffles can be more delicate than traditional wheat-flour waffles, so allow them to cook until they’re golden and firm before carefully removing them.

How do I make fluffy coconut flour waffles?
For extra light waffles, separate the eggs. Whisk the egg whites until fluffy, prepare the remaining batter with the egg yolks, then gently fold the egg whites into the batter before cooking.

How To Store Coconut Flour Waffles

Allow leftover waffles to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days.

To reheat, place them in a toaster, toaster oven or waffle maker until warmed through and crisp around the edges.

You can also make a larger batch and freeze the waffles for an easy breakfast later. Place the cooled waffles in a freezer-safe container or bag, separating them with baking paper if needed. Reheat from frozen in a toaster or waffle maker.

Coconut Flour Waffles FAQ

Can you make waffles with coconut flour?

Yes! Coconut flour works very well for waffles. It is highly absorbent, so you only need a small amount compared with wheat flour or some other alternative flours. Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking and add a little more liquid if needed.

Are coconut flour waffles keto?

These coconut flour waffles are suitable for a keto or low-carb diet because they are made without wheat flour or added sugar. The exact nutritional values will depend on the ingredients and toppings you use.

Why are my coconut flour waffles dry?

Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid. If your waffles are dry, the batter may need a little more cream or milk. Be careful not to add too much coconut flour, and avoid overcooking the waffles.

How do you make coconut flour waffles fluffy?

For lighter, fluffier waffles, separate the eggs and whisk the egg whites before gently folding them into the batter. Making sure your waffle maker is fully heated before cooking can also help.

Can I use almond milk instead of cream?

Yes. Unsweetened almond milk can be used in place of the cream. You can also experiment with other milk alternatives, although the finished waffles may have a slightly different texture and flavour.

Can you freeze coconut flour waffles?

Yes. Allow the cooked waffles to cool completely, then freeze them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. Reheat them in a toaster, waffle maker or toaster oven until hot and crisp.

What can I put on coconut flour waffles?

Try strawberries and whipped cream, raspberries, blueberries, lemon curd, cream cheese, butter, almond butter, sugar-free syrup or chocolate chips. For savoury waffles, try fried eggs, cheese or avocado.

Recommended Products for Making Coconut Flour Waffles

• Waffle maker – A good waffle maker is the main piece of equipment you’ll need. Look for one with a non-stick cooking surface and adjustable browning if possible.
• Coconut flour – Coconut flour is very absorbent, so make sure you’re using coconut flour rather than desiccated or shredded coconut.
• Measuring cups and spoons – Accurate measurements are especially useful when baking with coconut flour because a small amount can make a noticeable difference to the batter.
• Mixing bowl and whisk – You’ll need a bowl large enough to whisk the eggs and combine the batter easily.
