👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this easy recipe:
Step 1
Start by preheating the waffle iron. You need it to be fully preheated before you start cooking the waffles.
Step 2
Add the peanut butter and eggs to a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Grease the waffle iron with butter.
Step 4
Slowly pour the mixture onto the waffle iron and close it. Cook for 3-4 minutes (depending on your waffle maker) until golden brown.
Step 5
Remove the waffle from the waffle iron and allow it to cool.
Step 6
Serve with whipped cream on top, berries, etc. I also like serving it with a hot keto caramel or peanut butter sauce.
💡Tips
1. Let The Waffle Maker Get Hot
Wait at least 2-3 minutes after the ready light comes on. This extra time ensures your waffle maker is truly hot enough. When the waffle maker isn’t hot enough, the waffle sticks and you end up with a mess instead of a nice crispy waffle.
You can test if it’s hot enough by putting a tiny drop of water on it – if it sizzles immediately, you’re good to go.
2. Mix Until Completely Smooth
Take your time mixing the egg and peanut butter until the batter is completely smooth – no streaks of egg white or chunks of peanut butter should be visible. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes of whisking.
A smooth batter ensures even cooking and prevents parts of the waffle from being too eggy or having concentrated peanut butter spots. You can use a fork, whisk, or even a small blender.
3. Cool Before Topping
Let the waffle cool on a plate or cooling rack for about 1-2 minutes before adding any toppings. During this time, the waffle firms up and develops a better texture.
If you add toppings right away, especially things like whipped cream or cold berries, the waffle can become soggy.

FAQ
1. Can I make this without a waffle maker?
Yes, you can actually make this recipe as pancakes instead! Use a non stick pan over medium heat, and make sure it’s well greased.
The pancakes will be a bit thinner than the waffles and won’t have the crispy texture, but they’ll still taste great.
Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, and be extra careful when flipping as they’re more delicate than regular pancakes.
2. Can I use crunchy peanut butter?
While you can use crunchy peanut butter, smooth works better for this recipe. Crunchy peanut butter can make the batter harder to mix evenly with the egg, and the nuts might burn in the waffle maker.
If you really love the nutty crunch, it’s better to use smooth peanut butter in the batter and then sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top after cooking.
