Chaffle is an abbreviation for cheese waffle. A crispy low-carb keto waffle recipe made with eggs and grated cheese. As a result, the basic chaffle is much less sweet than the classic Liege waffle. Chaffles come in a variety of flavor variations to make flavorful versions like Chocolate Chaffle and Pizza Chaffle for a delicious and easy keto breakfast or snack.
Ingredients and Substitutes
Here’s what you need to create it:
Large Eggs – Yes, eggs are completely keto-friendly. Shredded cheese – I like to play with the flavors of hard grated cheese. Mozzarella is sometimes used for plain flavor, but it can be swapped out for great flavor with freshly grated Parmesan, Edam, or cheddar cheese.
How to make chaffle with 2 ingredients
It doesn’t get much easier than this keto chaffle recipe. It’s almost the same as the omelet recipe.
To start, simply beat the eggs in a medium bowl, then add your favorite shredded cheese and mix. The dough is ready to be cooked in the mini waffle iron. I love the Mini Dash Waffle Iron. This mini waffle maker makes smaller-sized waffles that are perfect for portion control and crispiness. First, spray the mini griddle with cooking spray. Start your iron and preheat it. Next, add about 2 tablespoons of the fabric to the iron, leaving some free space at the border, as the fabric will expand when you close the iron. This will prevent the dough from overflowing. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. When you take this keto waffle out of the iron, it may be a little soft, which is normal. Cooling the chaffles on a wire rack will give them a crispy texture. As the steam releases, the cheese cools and solidifies, creating the crispiest waffles.

Chaffles are great any time during the keto diet. This is the perfect keto hash brown swap for breakfast. It’s crunchy and doesn’t contain many carbohydrates. You can also top your chaffles with a fried egg, avocado, sour cream, and fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, and green onions.
For lunch, you can use the chaffle to make chaffle tacos or chaffle sandwiches. Simply fill the chuffles with your favorite sandwich fillings or taco fillings and enjoy.
Precautions for storage
The two-ingredient chaffle will keep in the fridge for up to two days, or you can freeze it for later and thaw it in the fridge the day before. If you store it in the freezer, it will lose its crispiness, so please reheat it in the toaster oven.
FAQ
Of course, but be sure to use grated mozzarella to avoid any cheesy flavor in your sweet keto chaffle. Next, add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1-2 tablespoons of a keto sugar-free sweetener, such as erythritol. To make fluffy, sweet chaffles, mix eggs and cheese and add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons erythritol, and 2 tablespoons almond flour.
Yes, you can use this basic chaffle recipe in your waffle maker, but you have to cook the entire recipe at once to make one waffle. In fact, regular waffle makers have large griddles, and if you halve the recipe, the waffles will be too dry.
Yes, you can use chaffles for meal prep or even cook them ahead of time and store them in the fridge for later use.
Chaffles are perfect for reheating in a bread toaster, air fryer, or sandwich press.

Mix the eggs in a bowl, then add the grated mozzarella cheese and mix.
Heat the iron in your Mini Dash waffle maker and lightly oil it with cooking spray.
Once the iron is hot, pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the waffle iron and use a fork to spread it out, almost covering the griddle. Close and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and crisp.
The chaffles are always slightly soft when you take them out of the iron, so let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes to enjoy the best crispy texture.
