2 Ingredient Keto Waffles

Have you ever had one of those “Why didn’t I know about this sooner?” moments? That’s exactly how I felt the first time I made 2 Ingredient Keto Waffles. These low-carb waffles are perfect if you’re following a keto diet or simply looking for a healthier alternative to traditional waffles. It was a random Tuesday, and I was deep into my keto journey, craving something that felt like bread but wasn’t going to knock me out of ketosis. Enter these magical little waffles.

At first, I was skeptical. I mean, how could two ingredients—eggs and cheese—turn into something that even remotely resembles a waffle? But desperation is the mother of invention, right? So, I gave it a shot. The moment I opened the waffle maker and saw that golden, crispy waffle, I was hooked. I even tried them in a mini waffle iron and was thrilled by how perfectly they cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

What really sold me was the versatility. One day, I topped them with avocado and a fried egg for breakfast. Another time, I slathered on some sugar-free syrup and whipped cream for a sweet treat. They’re the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you’ve unlocked a secret cheat code for keto life. Whether you’re making a double batch for the whole family or experimenting with different ways to serve them, these waffles never disappoint.

Ingredient Notes:

Even with just two ingredients, there’s some wiggle room to make them your own:

  • Eggs: Using whole eggs at room temperature helps create a smooth batter and ensures your waffles cook evenly.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella is your best bet. It melts beautifully and crisps up like a dream. Pro tip: Grate your own cheese if you can—it’s free from anti-caking agents that can affect texture. For added richness, you can whisk in a tablespoon of almond flour or even a bit of sour cream to elevate the texture.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Want a more bread-like texture? Add a teaspoon of coconut flour and a pinch of baking powder. It’s a subtle tweak that works wonders!

How To Make 2 Ingredient Keto Waffles?

  • Step 1: Heat Your Waffle Maker: Spray your regular waffle maker or a mini dash waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray for best results. If you prefer fluffier waffles, preheat a Belgian waffle maker instead.
  • Step 2: Whisk the Ingredients Together: Whisk the egg until fully combined with the cheese. If you’d like a sweeter version, add vanilla extract or a keto-friendly sweetener to the waffle batter.
  • Step 3: Cook the First Waffle: Pour half of the mixture into the preheated waffle maker. Spread it out evenly if needed, then close the lid. Let it cook for 3–5 minutes. The trick is to let it sit undisturbed—don’t peek! You’ll know it’s done when it’s golden and slightly crispy around the edges.
  • Step 4: Repeat for the Second Waffle: Carefully remove the first waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter. “Pour batter evenly into the waffle maker. Each waffle requires about 2–3 tablespoons of batter depending on your waffle iron size” .By the time you’re done, you’ll have two perfectly cooked waffles that smell incredible.
  • Step 5: Serve Immediately: Serve the waffles while they’re warm and crispy. You can go sweet or savory with the toppings—whatever suits your mood.

Do I really need a waffle maker?
Honestly, it’s the best way to get that crispy texture, but If you don’t have a regular waffle maker or Belgian waffle maker, you can also use a mini dash waffle maker for smaller portions. You can also cook these like pancakes in a non-stick skillet if you’re in a pinch.
