recipe notes and Tips
- Be sure to not over mix your batter when you fold the batter with the egg whites as you don’t want the egg whites to deflate.
- Preheat your waffle maker! This helps make your waffles get crispy on the outside while being fluffy on the inside.
- When whisking your egg whites to a stiff peak, make sure your bowl doesn’t have any moisture in it as it’ll make it difficult to make the egg whites turn into peaks.
- It’ll take some time for your eggs to turn into stiff peaks but don’t give up and keep on whisking. If you want, you can use a mixer to whisk it for you.
- To keep these waffles keto, serve with sugar-free syrup or keto-friendly syrup.

Chris says
Extremely dry. The waffles stuck to my non-stick iron, which I had even oiled. I will add some coconut oil to batter next time.
Rena says
Hi Chris. I will remake this and see. I didn’t have this experience. Adding coconut oil sounds like a good idea
Samira says
Hi Rena
I just made this recipe however it was very dry. I used 2 cups of almond flour as suggested but the batter was no where near a waffle batter should be. Any suggestions?
Rena says
Hi there. Did you make any substitutions?
Samira says
No I did not. But it seemed like there wasn’t enough liquid in the mixture. There was either too much flour, or too little almond milk maybe?
Rena says
Ok, I will make this again and get back to you. That shouldn’t have happened. If it was a bit dry then yeah I would say add more almond milk. I will let you know and check my notes.
Samira says
Great thank you so much!
Samira says
No substitutions followed the recipe as indicated.
