Can I make banana waffles without almond flour?

Yes, but the texture will change. Almond flour gives keto banana bread waffles their soft, bread-like feel. If you’re allergic, try sunflower seed flour as a 1:1 swap. Coconut flour alone won’t work—it soaks up too much moisture and makes the batter dry or crumbly.

Are banana waffles okay for a keto diet?

Yes, if used in moderation. This banana waffle recipe uses one small banana spread across multiple waffles, so the carb count stays low. You still get that banana bread taste without loading up on sugar or flour. It’s a great way to stretch a single overripe banana in a keto-friendly way.

Can I freeze banana bread waffles for later?

Absolutely. These waffles freeze really well. Let them cool, layer with parchment paper, and store in a zip bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven straight from frozen. They’re great for meal prep, especially if you’re planning easy summer meals or grab-and-go breakfasts.
