There’s something about weekend mornings that calls for waffles. Not the sugar-laden kind we grew up on, but something comforting, indulgent, and keto-friendly. These Almond Flour Waffles with Berry Compote hit all the right notes — they’re golden and crisp around the edges, light in the middle, and the berry topping gives them that beautiful balance of tart and sweet.
We started making these when we were craving a brunch-style breakfast but didn’t want the carb crash that comes with traditional waffles. The almond flour gives them structure without the heaviness, and the coconut oil keeps them moist and delicious. Whether we’re prepping breakfast ahead for the week or enjoying a slow Sunday, this recipe has become a favorite in our rotation.

Carefully remove and repeat with remaining batter.
Make the Berry Compote:
