Super Easy 5 Ingredient Coconut Flour Waffles! Made with real food ingredients, these low carb waffles are the perfect fuel for a busy morning or weekend breakfast. Freezer friendly for meal prep too! Paleo + Low Calorie + Gluten Free
Happy Monday Friends! How was your weekend? I caught up on work this weekend while the boyfriend had his kids. While I have met them, we have yet to integrate me into their circle. For me, it’s a strange place to be in.
On the one hand, I’m fine with it because I know I’ll have an anxiety attack if things go too fast but on the other hand, I feel we shouldn’t have separation on the weekends he has his kids. Then I feel guilty for thinking we should all hang out when his time with his kids is so limited.
It’s a conflicting topic for me and honestly, none of my friends are in this position so I feel alone in this confusing place. If anyone has experience with this, I’d love to hear it! Time away means time to make more delicious recipes for you. There’s that!
Here we are in the midst of pumpkin everything and I’m over here posting Coconut Flour Waffles. But, oh my, I don’t mind! These waffles are just too good not to share with you right away. In fact, I had a skinny pumpkin pie recipe ready for you today but then at the last minute swapped it for this one.
It was a tough call because um yeah, that pumpkin pie is to die for! Don’t worry it’s coming next week and it is divine!!! In case you can’t wait, check out this Paleo one. It’s a goodie too.
So about these coconut flour waffles…did I mention they’re good? Not just good, but REALLY GOOD. As in, you need to grab your waffle maker and make them immediately. They’re super simple. Just mix, pour and bake!
They make two very thick and filling coconut flour waffles which is why there are four servings in the recipe. One serving is half a waffle (it’s a lot!) and I assure you, that’s all you need. I eat mine with eggs and veggies.
It makes a hearty breakfast. Enough to keep you full until lunch. They also freeze well. I made a double batch last week and froze half. Grab for meal prepping a healthy breakfast in advance!

5 Ingredient Coconut Flour Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat a waffle maker and spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray.
Place eggs in a mixing bowl with almond milk (use 1/4 cup of ALMOND milk PLUS 2 tablespoons of ALMOND milk - this is not an error!!!) and whisk together until smooth.
Fold in coconut flour (measured properly), baking powder and cinnamon until combined. Do not over mix. The batter should be thick.
Transfer the batter to the waffle maker and cook 7-10 minutes. All waffle makers are a bit different so if yours cooks faster then this will take less time and vice versa.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle maker and transfer to a plate while you cook the next one.
- The recipe makes two large waffles. One serving equals a half of one large waffle. They're thick and big!
Recipe Notes
- Measure coconut flour properly otherwise your waffles will be dry and crumbly. When baking with coconut flour, you should expect a drier texture compared to grain flours. If it is very dry, then the flour may not have been measured properly or may be expired.
- My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.
- Makes 2 large waffles. 1 serving equals 1/2 of the waffle (i.e. 4 servings).

What I Used For The Recipe
Chocolate Almond Flour Waffles
I love that a fancy breakfast like this only has five ingredients so I can make it during the work week! Brightens up a Monday, for sure. Yum!
It sure does! Hope you’re having a good start to your week.
It’s been too long since I’ve had waffles. I love making them with coconut flour too though! I need to make a freezer batch.
The kid thing would be awkward for me, too. Although I have several girlfriends from high school that married men with children and they seem to have adjusted really well!
I’m sure it will eventually. None of my friends are in this situation so I feel very alone trying to navigate it.
did you know that I like WAFFLES way more than pancakes, but for some reason, I don’t have a waffle maker! That seems like a major life fail ha ha
Um YEAH!
Yum, I haven’t made waffles in ages, I will have to give these a try soon.
You need waffles in your life lady!
I just love coconut flour! It is probably my favorite flour after peanut flour! These waffles look amazing.
It’s tricky to bake with, but once you figure it out it’s so worth it!
HI! What is the third ingredient?
Almond milk.
I added vanilla protien powder, and they were awesome…..so nice to get my bread fix! This recipe is so good.
Thank you so much!
These look great! Curious, is the nutrition information for one waffle triangle or the whole circle (or square haha)
Hi! Each serving is for 1/2 waffle.
I think that is very confusing, because in one spot you say the recipe makes 2 waffles and a serving is 1/2 waffle. Then in another spot it says the recipe makes 4 waffles and a serving is 1 waffle. It made 2 waffles for me, so I assume I need to double the nutrition info for 1 waffle (ie 1 waffle=2 servings).
Hi Shari! I updated the notes to make it SUPER clear that the serving size is 1/2 waffle. The recipe makes 2 waffles, but you only need 1/2 waffle per serving. This means there are 4 servings.
These look really yummy! Do you know if the eggs can be substituted with flax eggs?
I have not tried subbing them. Usually coconut flour requires eggs to hold it together so I’m not sure it would work. If you try it, let me know and I’ll update the recipe card for others.
Could I use egg replacer? Or a flax egg?
Thanks!
Hi Allie! I have not tried using a replacement for the eggs. Generally coconut flour needs eggs to bake. I would test out the egg replacer if I were you. I don’t think a flax egg would work. Let me know what you try so I can update the recipe card for others. Thanks!
I made it today not bad but I only got 1 large waffle. There is no way the dough could if stretch to make 2. What did I do wrong.
First, what size waffle maker did you use? Was it the same as mine or was it a bigger one? Second, coconut flour is super dense so you can place half the batter in the waffle maker to make one pancake and it will spread during cooking. My waffle iron is not full of batter when I make these.
Amazing ! I added creme brulee flavoring. Delicious. So simple yet so fabulous.
Hi, I just tried these with aquafaba for eggs, NO GO. I am still trying to figure out how to clean the (brand new) waffle maker. I was looking forward all night to waffles this morning. Back to the drawing board. I have given up eggs for 30 days. Thanks though, I’m sure they are delicious when done according to recipe exactly.
Coconut flour is very UNFORGIVING in recipes. It always requires a lot of fat to turn out which aquafaba does not have. I have heard that this egg replacement works well in recipes. I haven’t tried it with coconut flour though.
