Chaffles are a viral crispy game changer in the world of the keto lifestyle. Those crunchy, delicious keto chaffles are fully low carb, grain-free, and gluten-free, with a different variety to spice up your daily keto breakfast routine.

Easy Chaffle Recipes

Since I made my first chaffle and got hooked, I have developed a few keto chaffles recipes for you. 

Look at our sweet cinnamon chaffle as another option or crispy chaffle chips made with only 1 ingredient.

And, of course, I did not stop there. 

Make a sweet chaffle such as chocolate chaffles for a sweet breakfast, smores chaffles for your guests, or chocolate chaffle cake, a recipe to make for someone special. These are a few more additions you might enjoy. 

Pour over our sugar free syrup, and you will have a blast. 

This popular chaffle idea is the BEST EVER. FOREVER THE BEST. Simple chaffle and keto friendly chaffle.

What is a Chaffle?

Might you ask yourself? What a funny name. Who came up with it? 

I have no idea. But whoever did, the name stayed and will stay forever in our keto and low carb vocabulary. 

Chaffle is simply a basic waffle recipe made from cheese and eggs. 

What does Chaffle Mean?

If you are new to keto diet or keto foods and wondering if you should make this recipe when even the name does not make sense, read further. 

Chaffle Definition:

Chaffle – Cheese – waffle made with cheese – cheese waffle.

Traditional Keto Chaffles

The basic recipe is super easy to make, combining 1/2 cup of cheese with 1 egg.

Starting from egg and cheese or cheese and egg waffle, you can experiment on your own and come up with various alternatives. Some recipes adds also coconut flour in. 

My Chaffle Story

The first I heard of chaffles was during a holiday. I just ignored it. 

Later I have seen it in our Facebook group on several occasions and all over the net, taking the keto world by storm. 

You know how it goes. Everyone raves and you get into wanting to have that feeling as well. 

This forced me to experiment a bit. For my first chaffle, I tried some recipes using a regular waffle maker and our ordinary grill, which has waffle grid irons from one side. I did not really get excited and left it.

Later on, as I saw people making more and more chaffles in the world, I thought to myself. There must be something I need to do differently.

Best Keto Chaffle Maker

The magic is in the waffle maker type, which has deeper grids, so your batter gets crispier. I went to look for the Dash maker, and my excitement grew. 

As I tried a few recipes, I got hooked. Fully hooked. 

And now I do understand all of the viral madness. 

And I am so happy I did.

How does Chaffle Taste?

Just because it looks like a waffle does not mean it tastes like a waffle. Do not expect that.

Chaffle taste like a crunchy piece of savory bread. A crispy burger bun you can have for your breakfast. 

How do You Make Easy Keto Chaffle?

I decided to go with a softer version. Soft on the inside but still crunchy on the outside. Perfect choice for chaffle sandwiches. 

And that is precisely what one tablespoon of greek yogurt can make for you.

I also added a pinch of psyllium, which I usually do for our bread recipes. Since I do treat those chaffles as bread. The psyllium helps hold the ingredients together and gives them a bit more bread-like texture.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE A CHAFFLE THAT IS CRISPY AND LOW CARB 

First Step: Prepare Ingredients

Prepare all of the ingredients.

The recipe gives you 3 chaffles. Double the recipe or triple, depending on how many you plan to make. 

Shred your mozzarella finely, as this makes the chaffles much softer.

Second Step: Heat your Dash

Heat your dash or waffle maker. It needs to be fully heated before you start. Otherwise, the batter will stick to the skillet.

Third Step: Chaffle Mixture

In a bowl, mix eggs first with a fork. Add additional ingredients except for mozzarella and mix properly. Once the dough is thoroughly mixed, add shredded mozzarella and mix full once again. Let it sit for a few minutes as the psyllium starts working.

Fourth Step: Spray

This step depends on whether you have a nonstick waffle maker. Mine is not fully nonstick, so I spray the whole waffle maker with extra virgin olive oil. This is enough to do the first time. If you double or triple the recipe, spray the waffle maker after every 3-4 chaffles.

Fifth Step: Cheese as a Base

To have the chaffles perfectly crispy, add a bit of shredded cheese on the waffle iron and wait until the cheese is melted.

Sixth Step: Dough

On top of the cheese, add one big spoon of dough into the middle. Do not add too much. Otherwise, your keto chaffle will start spreading all over through the maker. I always make 3 chaffles from this recipe and split the dough into 3 portions.

Seventh Step: Top it up

On top of the dough, add again a few pieces of shredded mozzarella to get the crispiness from both sides of chaffle.

Eighth Step: Cook

Close the lid and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes.

Try to avoid opening the Dash maker through the process. Otherwise, you will end up in a mess. Generally, once the big steam stops, it is the sign the chaffle is almost ready. Some waffle makers also have a light, which lets you know when the chaffle is finishing.

The longer you cook it, the crispier the chaffle become.

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Cheese – Finely shredded cheese works much better. Do not use pre-shredded cheese, as it contains additives and flour to keep the shreds apart.
  • Cook – Till the maker stops steaming – about 3-4 minutes.
  • Extra soft – add a bit of cream cheese in. 
  • Extra crunchy – Add shredded cheese to the waffle maker and cook a bit longer for more crispiness. 
  • Too eggy – Replace the whole egg with only egg whites if you feel they are too eggy for you.
  • Opening in between – Do not open the Dash maker while cooking. The chaffle might tear apart. Trust me. I have tried it.  
  • Chaffle batter sticking – Make sure you spray oil on both sides before making chaffles.

Can You Use Other Cheese to Make Basic Chaffle Recipe?

Even though mozzarella is the most popular because of its mild flavor, you can use any cheese you like. Just make sure it is a hard cheese and the cheese which melts. 

How Do You Reheat Chaffles?

To reheat the chaffles is a pretty easy task. We use the oven, but you can also use a toaster to get that crispiness you have been craving.

Can You Make Chaffle Ahead Of Time?

You can make your chaffle days in advance, which I do most of the time.

I usually triple the recipe and make chaffles for the whole week.

Can Chaffle be Frozen?

They certainly can. Separate them into two pieces – or how many you need for one serving and freeze them that way. It will be much easier to take only the amount you need to reheat later. Take them out of the freezer the night before and let them de-freeze throughout the night. In the morning, heat them in the oven or place them into the toaster for crispiness.

How to Clean Dash Mini Waffle Maker?

This is a great question and a job I struggled with initially. When trying to perfect the recipe, I occasionally added too much dough onto the chaffle maker, which ended up in a big mess. And the worst was when the cheese cooled down and got sticky. 

Now I have got a few tricks which might help you.

If you, by the incident, add too much dough in and throughout the cooking process see that part of the dough starts falling, use the end of the fork to take that part out and let the chaffles cook without dripping.

Once done, use a wet paper towel to wipe up all leftovers. Try to make this while the waffle maker and the cheese are still hot. 

I have also discovered that using a small brush or a toothbrush helps eliminate those unwanted tiny pieces you can not reach otherwise.
