These Keto Pumpkin Protein Waffles fit perfectly into my Midlife Macro Method™ framework — 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.
They’re ideal for your calorie deficit days or even your maintenance day when topped with sugar-free maple syrup and a little whipped cream.
Here’s how they align with your macro goals:

- 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, it’s waffles—especially when they’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 it—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 family’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 you’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, they’ll love these too—especially with a little nut butter or sugar-free maple syrup between two waffles for a low-carb waffle sandwich. And if you’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 moisture—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. It’s naturally sweetened and gives the batter that irresistible cozy scent. If you prefer, you can also use Coconut Stevia or Cinnamon Stevia—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. I’ve tested these using just coconut flour and just protein powder, but combining both creates the perfect waffle batter—fluffy yet stable, slightly crisp on the outside, and tender inside.
If you’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 here—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 pancake—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:
- Sugar-Free Pumpkin Whipped Cream – rich, creamy, and adds extra pumpkin spice love.
- Sugar Free Whipped Cream using heavy cream and made in a canister is my favorite!
- Sugar-Free Maple Syrup – tastes like the real thing without the sugar spike.
- A dollop of coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
- A sprinkle of crushed toasted pecans or pumpkin seeds for crunch.
If you’re feeling creative, use two mini waffles to make a sweet chaffle sandwich—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.
- Don’t overfill your waffle iron: The batter expands as it cooks—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.
