Substitutions
You can substitute the ghee for your animal fat of choice, although I do highly recommend ghee with this recipe due to its sweet and buttery flavor.
How to make Carnivore Beef Liver Waffles
To start – turn on your waffle maker so it can heat up while you prepare the batter.
Blend the raw liver, eggs, 3 tbsp of ghee (room temperature/softened), and a dash of sea salt in a blender until smooth. No liver chunks should be left. You may find a few stragglers when you pour out the batter, so you may have to go through a few rounds of blending.
In the waffle maker, make as you would normal waffles, with the exception of cook time.
Important note: Beef liver cooks VERY quickly, so the waffles will cook in seconds. Usually about 15-20 seconds or so. When the waffles turn light brown and there is no gooey residue left, you will know they are done. The waffles will shrivel a bit. This is normal.
Top with ghee and honey if you tolerate it/prefer. Enjoy!

Tips to make the best Carnivore Beef Liver Waffles
- When making the batter, make sure you blend it until smooth. No liver chunks should be left. You may find a few stragglers when you pour out the batter, so you may have to go through a few rounds of blending.
- Expect to drastically shorten your cooking time compared to normal waffles. Beef liver cooks very quickly, so these waffles will cook in seconds. It usually takes about 15-20 seconds or so. When the waffles turn light brown and there is no gooey residue left, you will know they are done.
- The waffles will shrivel a bit. The more you overcook them, the more they will shrivel, so your cook time should be as short as possible, assuming they are done and cooked through.
- The ingredients make about 1.5 cups of batter. I usually pour about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle into an 8-inch waffle maker and make 3 waffles per batch.

I LOVE THESE
Understanding the nutritional profile of beef liver really makes it a must in a healthy diet. So recently, I’ve been including it. However, I did not grow up with it and have not acquired the taste just yet. I can tolerate it, but don’t enjoy it.
This is a fantastic way to incorporate liver and actually really enjoy it! I love to top mine with a bit of honey and butter and there you go. If you’re keto, just butter still tastes great, I’ve done it both ways. The the liver taste is very mild in these, perfect for just getting started, but still definitely worth it to include even if you’ve been eating liver for awhile too!
Simple way to incorporate liver into your diet. Adding honey, butter, or fruit are great additions to these nutrient dense waffles.
My new favorite recipe for incorporating liver into my diet. And they were super easy and simple to make. I added some raw unfiltered honey on top and it was so delicious! Definitely give them a try!

Yes!
I’ve tried ‘liver and onions’ in the past; hated it. Then I tried ground liverwurst mixed with ground beef in meatball-form; hated it. I thought that this recipe would finally get me used to the taste of liver but it most certainly did not. After the waffles were cooked, I doused them with cinnamon and sugar-free maple syrup…I could still taste the liver. Also, not having cooked with a ‘whole’ liver before, I was really grossed out when I cut it out of the vacuum-sealed bag. It actually *oozed* out of the bag! It just plopped right out, like slime. And I couldn’t stop thinking about that when I tried eating these waffles. My kitchen stunk of liver for the rest of the day. My dog, however, LOVED these, so 5 stars from her because I guess she likes liver.
