These Keto Waffles are made with high-protein cottage cheese and only have 3g of net carbs each! If you're having trouble meeting your macro goals, these will do the trick.
About This Recipe
This keto waffle recipe is a great way to start your morning if you're on a keto diet. It has over 17g of protein and only 3g of net carbs per waffle. And unlike other recipes, this one actually tastes good! I've tried a few keto waffle recipes in the past, but they've always been overly eggy tasting and kind of limp. These ones have the best texture in my opinion.
And to make matters even better, these are incredibly easy to make. Just add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for 30 seconds until smooth. After that, all you do is fry them in the skillet. I like to get two pans going at once so I can cook multiple pancakes at the same time.
I typically serve these with a pat of melted butter and that's it.
Key Ingredients
Cottage cheese: The base of these pancakes is made with cottage cheese. I love cottage cheese because they are so high in protein, over 13g per serving (ยฝ cup).
Eggs: I used 2 eggs for this recipe. If for some reason you're looking to reduce the fat and increase the protein further, you can also substitute the eggs for egg whites. 1 egg can be substituted for 50g of egg whites or 3 tablespoons of egg whites.
Almond flour: I like the super fine almond flour from Costco. It's a good price, and I have found it lasts longer than other almond flours.
Melted butter: You can also use coconut oil.
Baking powder: For leavening.
Salt & vanilla extract: For flavor.
Instructions
STEP 1: Add all the ingredients to a blender.
STEP 2: Blend until smooth.
STEP 3: Grease the waffle iron generously with oil. Scoop about 1 cup of batter into the waffle iron.
STEP 4: Close and cook until golden brown.

It's 3:30am and I was craving something non-meat and veggies but keto and remembered the days that pancakes/waffles or cereal was my middle-of-the-night go-to. I had heard of keto waffle but thought, "Yuck, how good can a keto waffle be!?" But, having a craving for it I started searching for keto waffle recipes and was ready to give up because of all the 'extra' ingredients when I came across yours; simple and stuff I had on hand. I was really pleased at how crispy and light they were but, most importantly, how delicious even before adding butter and syrup! My adult daughter came in and is eating the last one now and commented on how good it is plain. She decided to make a pork loin sandwich and we're both declaring that this is a new favorite recipe with multiple possible uses, both sweet and savory. Thank you for the recipe!
