Midlife Macro Methodโ„ข Approved

These Keto Pumpkin Protein Waffles fit perfectly into my Midlife Macro Methodโ„ข framework โ€” higher protein, moderate fat, and low carb for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Each waffle delivers a balance of protein to support lean muscle, fiber from coconut flour to help digestion, and healthy fats to keep you satiated without spiking blood sugar.

Theyโ€™re ideal for your calorie deficit days or even your maintenance day when topped with sugar-free maple syrup and a little whipped cream.

Hereโ€™s how they align with your macro goals:

  • Protein: 12g per serving โ€” perfect for building and maintaining lean muscle
  • Fat: Moderate and clean, from eggs, coconut flour, and coconut oil
  • Carbs: Only 3 g net carbs per serving โ€” wonโ€™t knock you out of ketosis or spike cravings
  • All nutritional information is at the bottom of the page on the printable recipe card.

You can even meal prep a batch for your weekly meal plan and freeze them for grab-and-go breakfasts. Reheat in your toaster oven or mini waffle maker for a fresh, fluffy texture.

Keto Comfort Breakfasts Done Right

We all have that one breakfast that feels like a hug from the inside out. For me, itโ€™s wafflesโ€”especially when theyโ€™re piled high with butter, a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup, and a cloud of sugar free whipped cream.

Back in my sugar-filled days, waffles were basically dessert disguised as breakfast. But after going sugar-free, I refused to give up that comforting ritual. Instead, I recreated itโ€”this time with nourishing as a low carb waffle, that’s grain-free, with only sugar-free ingredients that fit my health goals and my familyโ€™s busy mornings.

So if you love that soft, slightly crisp texture of Belgian waffles but want to skip the carbs, this is the sweet recipe youโ€™ll want on repeat all season long.

Make-Ahead Low Carb Pumpkin Waffles

These keto make-ahead waffles are perfect for weekday mornings. You can make a batch, let them cool, and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat them in your toaster oven or mini waffle maker, and breakfast is ready in minutes!

If you have kids, theyโ€™ll love these tooโ€”especially with a little nut butter or sugar-free maple syrup between two waffles for a low-carb waffle sandwich. And if youโ€™re in full fall mode, add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or pumpkin spice flavor for that warm seasonal touch.

These keto pumpkin spice waffles are also freezer-friendly. To freeze, layer them in a sealed container or bag with parchment paper between each waffle to prevent sticking.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

Pumpkin season just hits differently. The smell of pumpkin spice flavor, cinnamon, and vanilla makes any kitchen feel like fall. These waffles use pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) to add natural sweetness, fiber, and moistureโ€”no need for added sugar or starches.

To get that rich, autumn flavor for all my fall recipes, I use Pumpkin Spice Stevia from SweetLeaf. Itโ€™s naturally sweetened and gives the batter that irresistible cozy scent. If you prefer, you can also use Coconut Stevia or Cinnamon Steviaโ€”both work beautifully with the pumpkin base.

For those who like to tweak recipes, a splash of almond milk or coconut cream can make the batter extra smooth and give you those fluffy keto waffles every time.

The Secret to Fluffy, Delicious Waffles

When it comes to keto waffle recipes, texture is everything. Iโ€™ve tested these using just coconut flour and just protein powder, but combining both creates the perfect waffle batterโ€”fluffy yet stable, slightly crisp on the outside, and tender inside.

If youโ€™ve ever made chaffles (waffles made with mozzarella cheese), you know that texture can sometimes be chewy. These, however, are all about that soft, cake-like crumb. No cheese hereโ€”just real pumpkin, egg yolks, and egg whites for lift and moisture.

The result? A sweet waffle that tastes like a pumpkin pie met a fluffy pancakeโ€”only with protein to keep you full all morning.

Keto Waffle Toppings and Variations

Butter is always a must. But if you want to take your pumpkin chaffles or pumpkin spice waffles to the next level, try topping them with:

If youโ€™re feeling creative, use two mini waffles to make a sweet chaffle sandwichโ€”spread cream cheese or almond butter between them.

You can even crumble leftover waffles and use them as a base for a pumpkin spice parfait layered with Greek yogurt and sugar-free maple syrup drizzle.

Tips for Perfect Keto Pumpkin Waffles

  • Separate the eggs: Optional! Whipping egg whites before folding them in helps make the waffles ultra fluffy.
  • Use a small bowl for dry ingredients: Mix coconut flour, protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice together before blending to prevent clumps.
  • Donโ€™t overfill your waffle iron: The batter expands as it cooksโ€”start with less, and add more as needed.
  • Cool on a baking sheet: Let cooked waffles rest in a single layer on a wire rack or baking sheet to keep them crisp.
  • Storage: Keep in a sealed container or airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

  1. Mine got very brown but did not get crisp. If I want to add almond flour,how much should I use? Should I reduce the amount of coconut flour?

  2. These looked good but were a disaster! They stuck to my waffle maker so I tried to make pancakes and they did not stay together at all. They were pumpkin flavored scrambled eggs. I think the batter was too liquidy. Maybe too much milk or eggs in the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly but it ended up being a huge waste of ingredients.

  3. Brenda;
    Hi,I love and enjoy eating waffles and after I found your sugar-free low carb pumpkin sice waffles recipe I decided to make your waffles when I go grocery shopping to buy some ingredients to make the waffles.In what way can you suggest that I can safely freeze these waffles after I make them in my waffle iron or machine?
    The recipe is healthy etc and I can eat the waffles without it bothering my blood sugar as I have type 2 diabetes.
    I will let you know how much I love and enjoy eating them which I will share with my mom and niece if I can get her to eat or try a bite of my waffles,she is picky as some teenagers can be sometimes.

  4. Morning, any substitute for the stevia please? Can’t order from Amazon, delivery costs are to much to South Africa.

  5. Any substitute for the pumpkin spice stevia? I don’t support Amazon and would love to just use the stevia I have on hand.

  6. I would like a printable copy of your recipe for the pumpkin spice waffles. Is there any way to get it without joining a subscription?

    1. You don’t have to join anything to see the recipe. To print it, since the Sweetleaf website doesn’t have that option currently, just copy and paste into a word document and print.

  7. Too many items to have to go out and buy just to make waffles. Do you have a good recipe for waffles that can be made into pumpkin waffles?
