    Keto Waffles Stuffed with Cream Cheese [Recipe]

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These cream cheese stuffed keto waffles are an excellent base for a savory or sweet low carb breakfast. Eggs, mayo and almond flour are used in this recipe to keep the carb count modest without sacrificing flavor.

    Keto Waffles Recipe Stuffed with Cream Cheese - Low Carb & Gluten Free

    Keto Waffles Stuffed with Cream Cheese Recipe | Low Carb | Ketogenic | LCHF | Atkins Induction

    Breakfast food is my jam. I'll eat it anytime, day or night. Aside from being tasty, it’s simple, quick and satisfying. Traditional waffles are loaded with carbohydrates, so it takes a little creativity to pull off a waffle that is low in carbs, high in flavor, with minimal ingredients. I adore waffles, so I play around with different variations quite a bit (like my Chocolate Protein Waffles). I’m excited to share this creation; it’s my favorite waffle to date!

    One of the things I’ve always appreciated about waffles is how quickly they come together. Just mix the ingredients to form a batter and pour into a hot waffle iron. Boom. Waffles. Although the ingredients for keto waffles may be a bit unconventional, the preparation is mostly the same.

    If you’re following a low carb or ketogenic diet, it’s highly likely you’ll have all these ingredients on hand right now: eggs, mayonnaise, almond flour (or meal), and cream cheese. That’s right; there’s a good chance you can whip these up without running to the grocery store first! And you absolutely should; they are mighty delicious and so easy.

    Keto Waffles Recipe Stuffed with Cream Cheese

    Grease your waffle iron and turn it on. While the iron is heating up, mix the eggs, mayo and almond flour with a hand mixer or blender. Cut up the cream cheese into small cubes. Fill the hot waffle iron with batter and place several of the cream cheese cubes throughout the waffle wells before pressing the contraption down. These little cubes will form warm, velvety pockets of cream cheese throughout the waffle and they are so good. Yum! Just cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown.

    The keto waffles are very filling, so just one waffle will do! You can eat them as-is or top with berries, whipped cream, butter, or a low carb sugar-free syrup. I topped mine with berry compote made with erythritol instead of sugar!

    If you find the waffle a little too "eggy" (it's mostly eggs, after all!), you can add a bit more of the almond flour if it fits your macros. You can also leave out the mayo or cream cheese to save on calories (or choose a reduced fat variety), but I find both to help with the texture.

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon cooking oil
    • 4 eggs large
    • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon almond flour
    • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Cover surface of waffle iron with cooking oil. Turn the iron on to heat for use.
    • Blend eggs, mayonnaise, and almond flour with hand mixer or blender until mixture becomes smooth.
    • Cut cream cheese into small cubes, about 1x1 centimeter.
    • Pour the batter onto the middle of the hot waffle iron. Place a quarter of the cream cheese pieces throughout the iron wells prior to pressing the lid down.
    • Once cream cheese has been distributed, close the lid to begin cooking the waffle. Steam may release from the seal of the waffle iron as the batter cooks; this is normal, but be careful of hot steam!
    • Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until waffle appears golden brown.
    • Remove waffle from iron and plate. Serve as-is or with your favorite low carb topping.

      I am a breakfast girl as well! Waffles are always a winner, and your recipe sounds so interesting - I've never tried using mayonnaise. Definitely trying this. Thanks!

      I love breakfast, too. I admit to making full on breakfast for dinner for the family sometimes. It's just a no brainer - much like this recipe. I love the idea of melty pockets of cream cheese in the waffle. Yum! This is such a unique recipe for low carb or keto waffles. I've made most recipes for waffles you see floating around on other sites and they are basically similar. I can't wait to try yours.

        I haven't tried coconut flour as a sub with this particular recipe, but I've used it mixed with protein powder for waffles with good results. Please let me know how it turns out if you try the substitution!

      quick question--what do you think would happen if you just mixed the cream cheese in with the mix instead of distributing the cubes?

      In me and my husbands opinion these turned out very much like an omlette and not a waffle. When I was down to the last quarter of batter I added another tbsp of almond flour, a tbsp of coconut flour, and some baking powder. I also took a page from an above comment and blended some of the cream cheese right in. Turned out like a waffle!

      I attempted to recreate this recipe and it did not turn out well. My wife said it turned out too eggy. Which I was scared of by having 4 eggs compared to a tbsp of almond flour. It seemed as if the ratio was off. But just because mine didn't turn out as expected, doesn't yours can't. Good luck!

        Thank you for the feedback!

        One of my friends shared a cooking secret for her keto waffles and pancakes that made recipes turn out sturdier and a bit less eggy: powdered psyllium husk. It really does offer a more bread-like quality. I haven't tried it with this specific recipe, but I'm wondering if it would offer a solution for the egginess.

        The most popular pancake recipe we have on the site also works well as waffles and it's darn near perfection. May be a good alternative: https://ketogasm.com/keto-pancakes-recipe-almond-flour/

      I made these for the first time, added 1 scoop (31g) of lean fit vanilla whey protein that adds 2g of carbs to the whole recipe, and they are amazing! The texture is very close to "regular" waffles. I'll definitely check out more recipes from here! Thank you!

      Pretty eggy tasting. Use 1/2 the batter in your waffle iron, because the eggs puff up and run out of the sides. Too eggy for me to try again but taste ok.

      I made these this morning, added a little extra almond flour and a pinch of baking soda. I topped them with Kerry gold butter and a blueberry compote. I meant to take pictures but, they did not last long enough! I have been eyeing this recipe for a couple of months, we have been eating keto for a little more than a year. Great substitute and I will make them again, my husband licked the plate! Four stars just because they did not get crispy like I like waffles.
