What are Chaffles?

Chaffles are a tasty low-carb alternative to traditional waffles. Made with a base of cheese and eggs instead of flour, they’re perfect for those following a keto diet. This recipe also uses a touch of almond flour and baking powder for a bit of extra structure.

Ready to Make Them? Here’s What You’ll Need:

Eggs: 2 large eggs will provide the base for our chaffle batter.
Cheese: Any shredded cheese you like works! We recommend a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for a classic flavor combination.
Almond Flour: A ¼ cup of almond flour adds a touch of body and helps the chaffles crisp up nicely.
Baking Powder: Just ½ teaspoon of baking powder helps the chaffles rise slightly for a lighter texture.
Ham: Ditch the deli slices! ¾ cup of chopped ham adds a satisfying savory element.

Tips and Tricks:

Use a waffle maker of any size. This recipe makes 5 chaffles, perfect for a single serving or a quick breakfast for two.
Don’t overfill your waffle maker! A generous 2 tablespoons of batter is all you need per chaffle.
Customize your chaffles! Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, spices, or even add your favorite low-carb veggies.

What Waffle Maker Should I Use?

The beauty of chaffles is that you can make them with any waffle maker you have on hand! This recipe yields 5 chaffles, so a standard-sized waffle maker will work perfectly. However, if you’re looking for a recommendation, I love using the handy little Ms. Dash Mini Waffle Maker. It’s compact and makes perfectly portioned chaffles, ideal for single servings or quick breakfasts for two.

This size is also great for creating low-carb sandwiches! Simply layer your favorite fillings between two chaffles for a satisfying and delicious keto-friendly option.
