Have you heard of a chaffle? These are low carb keto friendly waffles that are usually made from shredded cheese and eggs, and sometimes the addition of coconut or almond flour. We have a more in-depth breakdown of chaffles here.
Recently, I began thinking ahead to Spring and those old favorites I know I will be craving and the first thing that came to mind was a Strawberry Shortcake! That is when I knew I wanted to make a keto friendly waffle that wasn’t cheese based so that I could create low carb Strawberry Shortcake Waffles.
These almond flour keto waffles fit the bill perfectly. One recipe makes two small waffles you can enjoy anyway you would like! They would be great with butter and keto friendly syrup, or like this with strawberries and whipped cream!

How do you make Keto Strawberry Shortcake Waffles?
- For this recipe I use my favorite tiny waffle maker, it makes exactly 2 perfectly sized waffles. The first step is to plug in your waffle maker and it is ready to go when the light goes off. Though this waffle maker does have a nonstick coating I always spray a very light coat of cooking spray just to be careful.
- Next, in a small bowl combine the almond flour, egg, sweetener, heavy cream and baking powder and whisk until smooth. Carefully pour half of the mixture into the waffle maker. It will take 2-3 minutes and the waffle maker will “pop” up a bit when the waffle has expanded and risen. Remove the first waffle and set aside. Repeat the steps for the second waffle.
- The final step is to assemble the strawberry shortcake stacks! Place one waffle on the bottom top with 1 1/2 thinly sliced strawberries and whipped cream and repeat for the second layer.
- Lastly, you can dust a bit of powdered keto friendly sweetener if you like to make your waffles extra decadent!
