Keto Mini Waffles

I absolutely love going for runs when the weather turns and the mornings end up nice and crisp. All the beautiful fall colours and the pumpkin patches lining the fields make me crave all things pumpkin!

After making Chewy Keto Pumpkin Cookies Recipe that are not cakey as well as this Easy Keto Pumpkin Roll that actually rolls without breaking, I knew it was time to tackle making sugar-free pumpkin waffles. Plus, since I recently invested an entire $10 dollars on my new mini Dash waffle maker, making keto mini waffles has never been easier!

The waffles are very simple to make, but working with pumpkin tends to make baked goods moist and dense, so getting crispy and fluffy pumpkin waffles can be challenging.

But after several attempts, I finally created a recipe that I believe you will love!

Why this recipe for Keto Pumpkin Waffles Works

Super Easy - In my humble opinion, these waffles are the best because the batter is super quick to prepare (no beating egg whites and folding them into a batter). You can mix the whole thing up with a simple whisk or fork! Plus, if you are making keto mini waffles, they bake really quickly.

Perfect Texture - The texture of the waffles is delightfully fluffy inside, with a hint of pumpkin and vanilla flavour throughout.

Amazing Macros - Each keto mini waffle has 5 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat. You can add a pat of butter with some sugar-free maple syrup and end up with mini pumpkin waffle perfect for you keto diet.

Keto Pumpkin Waffle Ingredients

Eggs - The eggs not only add fluffiness to this dash keto waffle recipe, but protein and healthy fats too!
Vanilla - Can’t go wrong with a splash of vanilla extract!
Pumpkin puree. - Use 100% pure canned pumpkin for this waffle recipe. Don’t grab pumpkin pie filling by mistake, which has added spices and sugar. Also, if there is any water that has settled in the can, make sure to drain the water as too much liquid will not allow for these keto pumpkin waffles to get nice and crispy.
Keto Flour Mix - For these waffles, you will need super-fine almond flour as well as a tablespoon of flaxseed meal. The flaxseed meal helps to give these keto mini waffles their light and fluffy texture.
Coconut oil - Melted coconut oil helps to keep these waffles nice and moist.
Salt and Pumpkin Pie Spice - These two ingredients really help to bring out the pumpkin flavor!
Sweetener - Sometimes I like to make these keto mini waffles for a grab-and-go breakfast. So, if I am not going to be adding any sugar-free maple syrup, I will add about 2 tablespoons of dry sweetener, such as Lakanto Golden to the mix. You can omit this if you wish.

Instructions for CKeto Mini Waffles

Preheat the waffle iron. While the waffle maker is preheating, you can mix all of the ingredients together.

Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and use the back of a spoon to spread the batter over the surface of the hot waffle iron. I use about ¼ cup batter per waffle and this will make 5-6 keto mini waffles.

Hint: Make sure to spray your Dash mini waffle maker with cooking spray before making the first waffle. You do not need to spray additional cooking spray before adding batter to the maker

Can I make these waffles ahead of time?

Yes. Bake the waffles as instructed and then allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack. Cover the rack with a kitchen towel and leave them overnight. In the morning, simply pop them in the toaster for nice and crispy keto waffles.

Can I freeze these keto pumpkin waffles?

Yes. Bake and cool the waffles and then place them in a ziplock bag or storage container, separating each waffle with parchment paper.

How long do frozen homemade keto waffles last?

You can freeze homemade waffles for up to 3 months. To reheat the waffles, simply place the frozen waffles in a toaster oven until nice and warm.

Are these waffles crispy?

These waffles are more cakey than crispy. However, to make them crispy, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of whey protein powder to the batter.
