These Delicious Chocolate Waffles are gluten free, grain free, low carb, keto and absolutely perfect for breakfast or dessert!
Make Ahead Breakfast
I'm always looking for breakfast ideas for my family. Often we are on the go and I need to have some breakfast options ready in the fridge for my kids. This recipe is one I make often to have ready in the fridge or even in the freezer so my kids can help me by helping themselves in the kitchen.
Some other fabulous make ahead breakfasts for any busy morning are my Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Muffins, Paleo English Muffins, Crock Pot Granola, Blueberry English Muffin Loaf or these Bacon Egg Muffin Tops!
Dessert Waffles
I've learned along this journey of parenting, that if I don't prepare snacks and meals ahead of time, it's too easy to choose unhealthy fast foods. When I make ahead foods and snacks, I'm happier knowing I've prepared something healthy and my kids are more than happy to eat what I've got readily available for them.
When you think of chocolate for breakfast, do you cringe a little as it seems like a guilty pleasure? I don't. Not when I know how to include it into a protein filled breakfast like the one I'm sharing today!
These Coconut Flour Waffles can be used as dessert as well if chocolate for breakfast makes you cringe!
My preference for these coconut flour waffles is always on the sweet side. So making them for a dessert or afternoon snack with my coffee is how I like to enjoy them! I've got some delicious homemade low carb ice creams you might enjoy over these waffles!
Enjoy with some Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, Coffee Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream, or Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream and top with my Homemade Magic Shell!
It doesn't take a lot to make a special breakfast for the family! I'm all about the best bang for my time in the kitchen and this recipe is a winner for that! You could even enjoy these with a smear of unsweetened nut butter between two slices and my strawberry chia jam! Talk about delicious!

Keto Chocolate Coconut Flour Waffles
Keto Chocolate Coconut Flour Waffles
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 8 ounces Half & Half
- 2 tablespoon Butter softened
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder Jay Robb brand ( 1 scoop)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- 1-2 teaspoon chocolate liquid stevia
- optional toppings: sugar-free whipped cream fresh raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, melted sugar-free chocolate.
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a high powered blender. Allow to sit for a few minutes while the waffle iron heats.
- Spray your waffle iron with olive oil cooking spray. Ladle batter onto waffle iron and follow your manufacturers instructions for cooking.
- This recipe makes 5 large Belgian waffles. Each large waffle has 4 pieces total and 2 servings.
- Top with optional toppings if desired.
- Store in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster oven.
Notes
- The coffee extract is truly the best way to enhance any chocolate flavor in any recipe. I highly recommend using it and not eliminating it in this recipe.
- This has 1-2 teaspoon of stevia which means 1 teaspoon will be only mildly sweet and 2 teaspoon will be more like a traditional sweet waffle.
- If you don't use stevia, Swerve is a good option and I would suggest using ½ -¾ cup.
- If you don't have chocolate stevia, vanilla would work as well.
- Net Carbs: 2g
- This recipe was first published in June 2017 and updated with video in September 2019.

I made these this morning for our breakfast. They were so good! Thank you for the recipe!
I took a picture to share with my friends. (Couldn’t figure out how to post for you :(.

New to your site!! Does this recipe call for natural cocoa powder or Dutch processed? I used Dutch but something went wrong - they taste bitter. Any suggestions? I was looking for the video for this recipe to see if that would help correct my mistake but I don’t see the link anymore? Thanks!

Can you sub the coconut flour for something else? I’m not a fan of coconut anything.
Tina
Can you just go with out the protein powder or add more of something else?

I love waffles!! I thought I could never eat another when I went low carb years ago and gave away my 2 waffle makers. Bad decision! I had to buy another and now make waffles...and enjoy them. You have some great recipes! Keep up the good work!

I had a glitch with my new recipe plug in that was installed, it converted all my servings to 1gram, very frustrating as I have to fix all manually.

Hi Brenda. Your chocolate coconut and coffee infused waffles look delicious! I’m not big fan of cream, so I may substitute with Greek yogurt or sugar-free vanilla ice cream 🙂
