How To Make Keto Chaffles in 5 Minutes (Video)

You may be asking yourself “What is a Chaffle”? It’s a super simple recipe that you can make in under five minutes with only two ingredients. This keto chaffle recipe is sure to be a staple breakfast recipe when you’re in a rush, or an easy sandwich bread you can whip up in no time.

Why is it Called a Chaffle?

The word chaffle is a combination of the word “waffle” and “cheese”. Since these chaffles use cheese rather than flour and sugar, they are totally keto friendly.

Here are a few ways to enjoy Chaffles.

1. Sandwich Bread – Replace your high carb Wonder Bread with a chaffle. Fill with layers of deli meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato for a refreshing low-carb lunch.
2. Hamburger Bun – Swap out the heavy hamburger bun for a cheesy chaffle. Simply place your beef patty on top, add your favorite burger toppings like cheese, bacon, and onion, and you’re good to go.
3. Pizza Crust – Craving pizza but don’t feel like making a big mess? Whip up a simple chaffle then top with your favorite pizza toppings. Throw it in the oven under broil for a few minutes and enjoy.

What Are Chaffles Made of?

Chaffles are typically made with egg and shredded cheese like the recipe you will find below, but there are many variations for this simple recipe. Some people add almond flour or coconut flour to their batter, and you can even find sweet dessert chaffles! The waffle iron provides a quick way to cook a keto meal. Here are a few chaffle recipes to try:

• Wonder Bread Chaffle Recipe
• Keto Lemon Cake Chaffles
• Cinnamon Roll Chaffles
• Pepperoni Pizza Chaffles
• Oreo Chaffles

Tips for Making Chaffles

Since we found out about this recipe a few weeks ago we’ve been churning out chaffles non stop, so we have some tips to ensure that yours come out perfect every time!

1. Use the High Heat Setting on Your Waffle Maker

If you use a low-heat setting you will not get the crispy texture you’re looking for. We’ve made our fair share of chaffles and have never burned any of them, so you really can’t mess them up by using too high of a heating temperature.

2. Place Cheese on Top and Bottom

When making the keto chaffles you want to start by placing down a small handful of cheese, then pour in the egg, and follow it up with another handful of cheese. This method is preferred to simply mixing the cheese and egg together and pouring it into the waffle maker. If you mix everything together you won’t get a crispy texture and the cheese will not distribute evenly.

3. Use Full-Fat Cheese

Full fat cheese not only tastes better, but it is what we prefer when shopping for a keto diet. We do our best to avoid using skim milk dairy products and these keto chaffles are no exception. We’ve found cheddar cheese to be our favorite.

4. Use a Mini Waffle Maker (They’re Only $10)

At first I thought a mini waffle maker was a waste of money. Why would I want mini waffles when I can have big waffles? The truth is, the mini waffle maker creates the perfect size chaffles to use for a sandwich. Just make two little chaffles and fill them with your favorite sandwich fillings. May I suggest a BLT?

5. Store These Keto Chaffles in the Fridge

Make a big batch and store these chaffles in the refrigerator so you have them at the ready. Nothing quite beats that crispy cheese flavor you get from a freshly made chaffle, but they are still incredibly tasty a few days later right out of the fridge.

Want a Sweet Chaffle?

Here’s what you’ll need to turn this savory chaffle recipe into a sweet one:

• Two large eggs
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• a splash of vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 10 drops of liquid stevia

For the sweet chaffle we are going to be mixing everything together before pouring into the waffle maker. This is different from the savory chaffle where we assembled everything right onto the waffle maker. Mix all of the above ingredients together in a small bowl and pour into the waffle maker.

The sweet chaffle will take longer to cook than the savory one. Let it cook until the steam stops coming off of the waffle maker. That’s how you know it’s done!

Are Chaffles Good for You?

This two-ingredient chaffle recipe is a great source of protein and healthy fats. Eggs are packed with so many essential nutrients and cheese is high in calcium. This high-fat, high-protein bread replacement will keep you fuller for longer, provide lasting energy, and won’t spike your blood sugar. It’s also a great option for people who have Celiac Disease or a gluten sensitivity.
