Pizza, for breakfast!? Yes, it’s true! Sometimes on keto, I get cravings at weird times. Breakfast food for dinner, and dinner for breakfast. In this case, I was really craving a pizza in the morning. So, I thought it’d be a really nifty idea to use a waffle base as a pizza. It worked great – and it even makes it easy to pull apart each quarter and eat it like a slice of pizza.
You can top the pizza waffle with anything you’d like to – scrambled eggs and bacon with some ranch as the sauce. Or, go another route and do a bit of chicken, homemade BBQ sauce, and cheese. The possibilities are endless – but the base of the pizza (the waffle) will stay the same. It will hold up well and provide the perfect vehicle to put delicious toppings into your mouth.
Yields 2 Breakfast Keto Pizza Waffles
The Preparation
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup low-carb tomato sauce, such as Rao's
- 3 ounces cheddar cheese
- 1 ounce pepperoni, optional
The Execution
1. Add all ingredients (except for tomato sauce and cheese) to a container.
2. Use an immersion blender to blend everything together. About 30-45 seconds until the mixture thickens.
3. Heat your waffle iron and add half of the mixture to the waffle iron.
4. Let cook until there is little steam coming out of the waffle iron. Once done, remove from the iron and repeat with the second half of the mixture.
5. Add tomato sauce (1/4 cup per waffle), and cheese (1.5 oz. per waffle) on the top of each waffle. Then, broil for 3-5 minutes in the oven. Optionally add pepperoni to the top of these.
6. Once the cheese is melted and starting to crisp on top, remove from the oven and serve.

I’ve made these waffles, as well as the cinnamon roll waffles and jalapeño cheddar waffles. Each of these came out with a crazy lightness to them, and the recipes yielded at least twice as many units as expected. Is it possible I’m working too much air into the mixture with the immersion blender? Really want to get this right.
Also, I’m using a cuisinart classic waffle maker. Not Belgian style. Not sure if this matters.
Just made these, really good! The batter was much thicker than here, more of a dough so added some almond milk to water it down a little. Not sure what I did wronG but the end result was delicious. Can prep several at a time and just add the toppings -may have a new go to meal!
I made these last night for dinner and they were awesome.
So how much of these two pizza waffles do you get? If I’ve done my macros right, it’d be like one slice????
What is a good substitution for someone with a nut allergy? I can’t use almond flour. This looks SO yummy! As do a few other recipes on your site that call for almond flour.
Hi Jessica. I found this waffle recipe in our archives that uses cauliflower instead. Maybe that would work if you make the cauliflower waffles but then top with pizza toppings?

I do not have Psyllium Husk Powder but have read that ground flax is an alternative. Will there be a taste difference if I use this instead?
