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!
I love baking with coconut flour. It’s a great source of dietary fiber, healthy fat and more protein than regular flours. These coconut flour waffles are perfect for when you want a low carb waffle recipe that has all the texture and taste!
I make coconut flour pancakes all the time so I thought, why not make a waffle recipe using coconut flour too?
If you love coconut flour, I know you will love these pancakes. I’m sure you would also love my keto pancakes with pumpkin too!
These waffles with coconut flour are just too good not to share with you. In fact, I had a low-calorie pumpkin pie recipe ready for you today but then at the last minute swapped it for this one. I just couldn’t wait to share it with you!
So about these coconut flour waffle recipe… 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 enjoy my keto coconut waffles with my Waldorf salad recipe or a simple fruit salad recipe to ensure I get enough protein at breakfast.
It makes a hearty breakfast! Enough to keep you full until lunch. These easy coconut flour waffles also freeze well. I made a double batch last week and froze half. Great for meal prepping a healthy breakfast in advance!
This is the waffler maker I use, and it’s important to note that all waffle makers work differently so if you have on different than mine, the baking time may be slightly different.
I also recommend you liberally spray or grease the your waffle maker, and do not undercook your coconut flour waffles because they will crumble easily. Coconut flour is very particular to bake with!

5 Ingredient Coconut Flour Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat a waffle maker and spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray liberally. Do not use butter or coconut oil or the waffles will stick.
- 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. Note – if you overmix it will yield smaller or fewer pancakes.
- Transfer the batter to the waffle maker and cook 10 minutes. DO NOT REMOVE or OPEN TOO SOON OR WAFFLES WILL FALL APART. All waffle makers are a different, mine cooks quickly so you may need to cook yours longer than 10 minutes.
- Carefully lift the waffle from the waffle maker with a small spatula and transfer to a plate while you cook the next one. It's very important you DO NOT prematurely remove the waffle from the maker or flip the waffle or it will fall apart. Note, you will need to add more cooking spray before adding the remaining batter.
- The recipe makes two large waffles (my waffle maker is large). One serving equals a half of a large waffle.

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.
- Eggs and milk should be room temperature for making coconut flour waffles. If the ingredients are too cold, it will stiffen the batter.
- Coconut flour does not bake like other flours. You must not over mix the batter or it will absorb the liquid ingredients too much and your waffles will not turn out. A simple stir or two to combine is enough, don’t over do it!

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!
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.
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.
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!
Hi Vanessa,
How did you adjust the liquids with the added protein powder? How much protein powder did you add? I would love to try it too. Thanks.
HI! What is the third ingredient?
Almond milk.
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!
Yum, I haven’t made waffles in ages, I will have to give these a try soon.
You need waffles in your life lady!
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!
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.
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.
