Equipment

  • Waffle Iron
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

For the Filling

  • 8 slices cooked bacon chopped
  • ½ cup cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.
  • Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and almond milk together until fully combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Gently fold in the diced jalapeños.
  • Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (about 1/2 cup) and close the lid. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.
  • Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. If desired, add chopped cilantro for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the waffles are cooked, remove them from the waffle iron and let them cool slightly. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on one waffle, then top with another waffle to form a sandwich. Repeat this process for all sandwiches.
  • Serve: Enjoy your Jalapeño Cheddar Keto Waffle Sandwiches warm. They can be served with a side of avocado or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.

Notes

For a spicier kick, use fresh jalapeños instead of pickled. These waffles can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster for a quick meal. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as diced bell peppers or different cheeses.
