Almond Flour Waffles – Gluten Free



Low carb waffles can be just as good or better than wheat flour ones. These delicious almond flour waffles can be made ahead and frozen for quick and easy breakfast.

Easy keto low carb almond flour waffles for a morning treat.
For this recipe, I modified a standard waffle recipe to use almond flour instead of regular wheat flour. The recipe came from an old Better Homes and Garden cookbook.

Sometimes modifying a standard recipe works out well without having to make too many other changes. And I didn’t change much to create these almond flour waffles from a regular cookbook recipe.

However, I end up increasing the number of eggs slightly when I used ground almonds instead of regular flour. I also found that adding a little xanthan gum adds a little elasticity like gluten.
But the xanthan gum isn’t necessary. It just gives these low carb waffles a texture that’s more like regular wheat flour ones with gluten.

Delicious low carb gluten free waffles made with almond flour are just as tasty as ones made with wheat flour. These waffles can be frozen for quick and easy breakfast.
