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.

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.

Don’t overmix: Overmixing can lead to a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Start with shorter cook times: Microwaves vary in power, so start with a shorter cooking time and add more seconds if needed. A toothpick test is your best friend – insert it in the center and it should come out clean when the cake is done.
Get creative with toppings: Add a dollop of whipped cream, sugar-free chocolate chips, or fresh berries for an extra decadent treat.
