Flax Waffles (grain free, low carb, paleo, keto)

Flax Waffles - Low Carb - Keto - Paleo
If you like my Flax Jacks Pancakes Recipe (post here), then I think you are going to love these Flax Waffles! They are light and have almost a buttery taste and texture to them. I just took my pancake recipe and added in some organic expeller pressed coconut oil (expeller pressed coconut oil has no coconut taste). I also made a successful batch of waffles without the added fat, but really like the texture best with it. I personally like the taste and color of golden flax seeds best, but feel free to use dark brown flax seed meal in this recipe if you please.

 

Flax Waffles - paleo - nut free - low carb - keto - vegetarian

Flax Waffles

  • Servings: 2 people (makes about 4 to 5 waffles)
  • Print

ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup ground golden flax seed meal
  • 2 large pastured eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, (or other fat/oil like MCT oil, or organic palm shortening)
  • 2 Tablespoons dairy free “milk” (or use water) 
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • tiny pinch sea salt
  • optional: a little sweetener of your choice (I don’t use any)

directions:

  1. Plug in your Waffle Maker to heat it up.
  2. Mix ingredients together in a bowl until you have a smooth batter. If you need to add in a little extra nut milk/water to get it smooth, you can do that too.
  3. When the waffle maker gives you the green light, spray it with the olive oil using a mister.
  4. Add batter, and follow waffle maker directions.
  5. This batter gave me enough to make 5 Belgian style waffles.
  6. I topped these waffles with fresh blueberries and a dollop of coconut whip (recipe here) and it was super delicious. You can also top them with maple syrup, berry jam, or turn them into a savory breakfast sandwich.

    • Hi Nicole,

      Ya, they are posted just below the recipe. You can also follow the link to the flax pancakes to see the full chart of nutrition data, same recipe just in 1/2 qty, but I have the basics (calories, fat, protein, carbs, fiber) typed up in this post, just look below the directions.

      Thanks!

  8. Here’s a little extra tibdit. If you are in TUcson you can buy it even cheaper at the bread outlet on Broadway by the Dunn Edwards. Also, try using 2 tbsp flax meal, 3 tbsp water and 1/8 tsp baking powder per egg. It gives it a little more lift and a little extra flax. I use this sub in all my pancakes, waffles, cookies and almost anything else I can.

    • Hi Chen!

      Great tips! I love using ground flax or chia as an egg replacer in my grain-free cookies and brownies. And I like your idea of adding in the additional baking powder. Hope you are staying cool down in Tucson this summer!

      Cheers!

  9. this appears to be the exact recipe for your flapjacks, but doubled.
    is it safe to assume, then, that this batter can be used to make pancakes instead?
    I don’t have a waffle-maker!
    thanks!

  10. Hi Sophie!

    Yep, they are basically the same base ingredients, and either recipe is easily doubled or tripled. And instead of adding the MCT oil to the batter, you can use it to cook the pancakes with instead, by adding it to the pan or skillet. I just recommend cooking the pancakes over a medium-low heat to avoid burning them, as burnt flax is not yummy.

    Cheers!

    • Thanks Emily! I love our waffle maker!! I especially love how easy it is to make grain-free waffles with it! Surprisingly even easier than making grain-free pancakes. ♥

  1. […] When making these waffles the batter will start to thicken as it sits, this is to be expected due to the fiber in the flax seeds.  You can always add a bit more water to the batter if you want them to be a bit fluffier.  Recipe inspired by: Pure and Simple Recipes. […]
