Keto Chaffles (Easy Cheese Waffles) – Beginner Friendly!
These Keto Chaffles are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a waffle on a low-carb diet. They’re made with just a few simple ingredients and come together in under 10 minutes!
Prep Time: 2 minutes Cook Time: 3-5 minutes per chaffle Total Time: 5-7 minutes Servings: 1 (makes 1 chaffle)
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Optional: Pinch of dried herbs (such as oregano, basil, or garlic powder)
Equipment:
- Waffle iron
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
- Rubber spatula
Instructions:
- Prep: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. If you have a mini waffle iron, that works great too!
- Mix the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the egg and shredded cheese. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a pinch of your favorite dried herbs for extra flavor.
- Cook the chaffle: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The exact cooking time will depend on your waffle iron, so keep an eye on it!
- Serve and enjoy! Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle iron with a rubber spatula. You can enjoy it plain, or add your favorite toppings like butter, cream cheese, or even savory meats and vegetables.
Tips for Beginners:
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect the texture of your chaffles.
- Don’t overfill your waffle iron. This can make them messy and difficult to remove.
- If your chaffles are sticking to the waffle iron, try greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray before adding the batter.
- Be careful when removing the chaffles from the waffle iron, as they will be hot!
Recipe Variations:
- Get creative with your cheese! You can use any type of shredded cheese you like, or even a combination of cheeses.
- Add a tablespoon of almond flour or coconut flour to the batter for a slightly different texture.
- Want a sweet chaffle? Try using shredded parmesan cheese and adding a few drops of stevia or a keto-friendly sweetener to the batter.
