Yes. Thats right. Pulled Pork on a WAFFLE!
Hear me out before you gasp at such a claim! You know how people love the combination of sweet and savory!? Carmel cheddar popcorn or chicken and waffles? THIS amazing combo is just like that but BETTER because I found the perfect Low Carb BBQ Sauce that I can’t wait for yall to experience! (And y’all have been asking me FOREVER to find the best… and trust me… this is the BEST!)
Before we get to the super simple way to make the pulled pork waffles, I want you to meet my new friends at ALTERNA SWEETS and get to know their amazing low carb sauces! I love that they are made with our beloved, keto friendly STEVIA! I have tried to many other brands that are low carb but I am super picky about my ingredients and really don’t personally prefer the taste of Sucralose or some of the varieties of stevia that leaves that strange aftertaste!.
So I searched and hunted and finally found my beloved new friends at AS! I tried the Smokey BBQ sauce and Spicy Ketchup and y’all its D E L I S H. My husband is VERY particular and VERY picky about his sauces and he said, (and I quote), “Even if I didn’t eat Keto, I would 100% eat this BBQ sauce… this is everything I have been waiting for!!”
There you have it. Honest feedback from a very particular BBQ guy. I mean I guess we have reason to be picky since we met and married in Kansas City. Its like the BBQ capitol of the world in our opinion HA HA!! This week alone I have made the Pulled Pork waffle from this post, BBQ wings and we have drizzled it on Waffle Bread sandwiches too for a wonderful and flavorful KICK!
Obviously we are obsessed…
I mean its been 3 years without a true BBQ sauce, so we are going BIG!

One of the hardest things on Keto has been to find a sweet yet SMOKEY BBQ sauce that isn’t loaded up with sugar! Some sauce you can get at the store or at a restaurant can be 22-25 carbs PER 2 Tbsp… I mean who ever ever ever only uses 2 tablespoons!? But AlternaSweets has created some of the BEST, thick and hearty sauces with Stevia and they are 2 net carbs per serving!
As always, we want to make sure we are watching our portion sizes with anything Keto we consume. Because let’s be honest, even too much of a good thing can be BAD! Meaning, don’t pour half a bottle on your ribs next time you make them… even though its low low carb!
I loved that the richness of the sauces were bold enough that we didn’t need too much and could really keep our carbs LOW! I think I used about 1.5-2 Tbsp on the waffle and it was PERFECT!
This waffle recipe is really just a thrown together simple meal idea that we had 2 nights in a row. It was seriously THAT GOOD. If you prefer a crispy bread as a base, check out the FB live video i did a while back for using the PIFFLE (Stupid Easy Bread Base) instead of the WAFFLE BREAD. Both are so delicious and so versatile!
I pulled a “tired mom card” this week and got the Pre Pulled Pork from Sam’s and it was PERFECT for this quick and easy meal! But any shredded meat would do! You could shread some rotisserie chicken, make some pulled pork in your Instant Pot or even used leftover ribs! Anything that you would want to drizzle BBQ sauce on will work PERFECT!
Here are the basic instructions for the Pulled Pork Waffle and the multiple variations! I would love to hear below in the comments what you came up with and how much you love the sauce!

We ended up using pre shredded Pulled Pork from Sam’s but you could easily make it in your Instant Pot!
IP PULLED PORK:
-3lbs boneless pork roast cut up into cubes
-Salt and garlic to taste (Liberal amounts in my opinion!)
-1 cup chicken stock
DIRECTIONS:
-Season cubed pork with salt and garlic and set aside.
–optional: you can sear the pork in a skillet to brown.
-Add chicken stock to bottom of Instant Pot
-Add meat to liquid
-Close lid and seal shut
-Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 40 minutes
-Once time is up, allow to release naturally (10-15min)
-Once release is finished, remove pork and shred with forks
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:
Place 1-2 waffles on a plate per person
Once meat is shredded, portion about 1/3-1/2 cup of pork per waffle, per person.
Add 2-3 TBSP AlternaSweets BBQ Sauce per waffle!
Devour and ENJOY my friends!! This recipe is simple, versatile and surprisingly delicious! I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did and you get creative with all ways you can make this easy dish!
