Ingredients You’ll Need For These Chaffle Recipe Ideas
The basics are some combo of egg and cheese but from here you can riff like mad. You can use a variety of cheeses including cream cheese, parmesan cheese, etc. Some add almond flour and flaxseed, and baking powder, others don’t.
Why Is It Called A Chaffle?
You’ll notice from most of the recipes included in this post, the main ingredient is cheese. Cheese + Waffles = Chaffles
How To Make A Chaffle?
Below is my basic Keto waffles (chaffles) recipe:
1 egg, beaten1/2 cup cheeseLayer 1/4 cup of cheese on the bottom of the waffle maker.Add half the beaten egg.Layer the other 1/4 cup of cheese on top.Cook until crisp. Keep in mind the chaffle gets crispier as it cools.
Keto Waffles are all the rage because even though I have a ton of Keto bread recipes like my Keto Bread, Keto Cheese Muffins, Keto Blueberry Muffins, Cauliflower breadsticks, and Keto Pancakes - sometimes people want something low carb and bready that they can make in a flash. Hence the Chaffle.
Keto Silver Dollar Pancakes - These are SO good and easy to make!Keto Bread - Makes awesome slicing bread, toast, croutons and more!Keto Chocolate Waffles. So yummy!Cauliflower chaffles can also be used for a keto pizza crust.Oreo Chaffles! Make a double batch of the chocolate chaffles and make oreo chaffles as well. Zucchini Chaffles are another great savory chaffle option.
What Kind Of Waffle Maker Can You Use To Make This Chaffles Recipe?
You can absolutely use the same recipes that I’ve provided for some tasty chaffles and cook them in a skillet as more of a pancake or flatbread. If you want the actual waffle texture that chaffles are known for, you will need to use a waffle iron. People are having the most success using this Dash Mini Waffle Iron to make their low carb waffles. It makes the perfect size to cook them quickly and crisps them up just right. The reason the small one is best, is that you can make chaffle sandwiches using the mini size waffle iron. With a larger or thicker chaffle, it can make for a very thick sandwich.
Can I Make A Chaffle In My regular waffle iron?
You can use a full-size one like this Cuisinart, but try not to use a Belgian waffle maker as it takes forever to crisp a thick waffle iron. The trick is to cook it long enough for it to properly crisp up your chaffle recipe.
Can You Freeze A Chaffle?
Yes, you can freeze chaffles. Place them in a freezer bag with a piece of parchment paper between each one or just freeze them in small freezer bags, two per bag.
Can You Reheat This Chaffles Recipe?
You can defrost in the microwave or air fryer at 300F for 2-3 minutes at most when you’re ready to eat.
Do Low Carb Waffles Taste Eggy?
The more things you add the less likely they are to taste eggy. If they taste super eggy to you, use egg whites which makes them less eggy tasting.
How Do You Serve A Keto Waffle?
Most people use them as bread substitutes, so its not unusual to see chaffle sandwiches. Of course, if-you make one of the sweet chaffles below, then you eat them by themselves. Of course, I would ALWAYS be in favor of whipped cream on any dessert-y thing!

Besides the base recipe I mentioned earlier, I didn’t come up with the recipes below. I didn’t invent the chaffle, but I’m thankful someone did! Some of these recipes belong to some other awesome bloggers, and I will link to them in those cases.
How Long Do They Last?
Chaffles last a surprisingly long time if they’re stored correctly. My favorite way to store them is in an air-tight glass or BPA free container. If you layer them between pieces of parchment or wax paper, it keeps them from sticking together. Then, you can reheat them in the toaster or an air fryer for a quick meal solution. Expect to be able to keep prepared chaffles on hand for 5-7 days for a great meal prep solution.
What To Serve With Them?
Not sure how to serve some of these chaffle recipes? Enjoy them as sweet or savory meal solutions. Either top them with sweet additions for a great breakfast or snack. For a savory option, add meat, cheese, or turn two into a tasty sandwich. With this list of low carb waffles, you’ll never have to search for another Chaffles recipe again. From sweet to savory, your chaffle cravings will be a thing of the past. If you enjoyed these recipes, make sure you share them on Facebook and Pinterest so you can make them again later.
