Keto Chaffle

I would like to thank the wonderful follower (Hi Abby!) who told me I had to try a chaffle. I had never heard of them, and it has changed my entire breakfast.

It is a savory keto friendly waffle that is made with just 5 ingredients, is only 1g net carb per waffle(!!!), and is such a great breakfast to batch cook and reheat during the week.

Trader Joe’s Ingredients Needed

Here are the ingredients I grabbed for this recipe:

• eggs
• mozzarella cheese
• almond flour or almond meal
• avocado
• microgreens

Sounds crazy. But it totally works! It tastes like a super crispy, cheesy waffle. I love using mozzarella cheese since it’s mild tasting, so leaves the waffle more neutral tasting.

Keto Trader Joe’s Recipe Tips, Tricks, & Substitutions

Waffle Iron: I love this waffle iron because I can make up to 4 chaffles at once, and the chaffles/waffles are the perfect size to fit in a toaster oven to reheat. This recipe is for just 2 chaffles. Double if you want to make 4.

Toppings: I love mine topped with mashed avocado and some microgreens. It is literally the most perfect keto avocado toast I have had in my entire life. But really, the possibilities are kind of endless. I’m even dreaming of using these as sandwich bread. Or a bun for burgers. OMG it is really true love with these chaffles.

I saw some recipes using them to be a sweet waffle. I bet that would work, especially if you’re someone who loves salty and sweet which I do.

Texture: The texture is a super crisp exterior with a light and airy interior. Also, the almond flour helps give it a little more body and keeps it substantial. The egg gives it rise and those perfect bubbles you see, and the cheese helps it get crispy.

To get them extra crispy, which is of course my favorite, a waffle has to have CRISP, you want to let them cool fully on a wire rack. The wire rack prevents steam from accumulating on the bottom and causing soggy waffle bottoms. If you don’t let them cool, they’re a little more soft and eggy. Trust me. Let them cool a good 3-5 minutes and avoid temptation. It’s worth it.

Reheating: Best part? These freeze and reheat amazingly in the toaster! Just like eggo waffles. So you can easily batch cook a bunch and always have a speedy breakfast waiting for you in the freezer. I love this waffle iron, which makes waffles that fit in the toaster.

I like these SO MUCH more than egg cups or sous vide egg bites, which tend to get watery and soggy when reheating, no matter how hard I try.

Notes

Waffle Iron: I love this waffle iron because I can make up to 4 chaffles at once, and the chaffles/waffles are the perfect size to fit in a toaster oven to reheat. This recipe is for just 2 chaffles. Double if you want to make 4.

Cheese: I prefer shredded mozzarella, but you could also use shredded cheddar, shredded mexican blend, etc.

Freezing/Reheating: These chaffles freeze so well, and last in the fridge for 5 days. When you’re ready to reheat just pop in the toaster!

Tree Nut Free: I haven’t tried it, but you should be able to use 2 teaspoons coconut flour in place of the 2 tablespoons of almond flour. Coconut flour takes a bit to absorb, so I’d let the batter sit for 5 minutes so it can thicken properly.

Dairy Free: Sadly, I’m not sure this would work with a dairy free shredded cheese, such as Daiya. I don’t think these can be made dairy free. If you think of a way to make them dairy free please share in the comments!

Toppings: The topping possibilities are kind of endless. I love them topped with smashed avocado and microgreens. Have fun customizing them to your taste!

Nutrition Facts: The nutritional information is calculated based on the exact ingredients and quantities listed in the Ingredients above. It does not include toppings since toppings can vary.
