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.

Holy smokes these are so dang good! I want to eat them everyday!!
Hi Beth! Right?? The best part is that you *can* eat them every day! Yay to healthy, real food!
This is great! I add a fried egg on top for a little extra protein and moisture. Yum!
Yeah! So glad you enjoyed it Chelsea!
So good and easy to make! I use coconut flour with the quantity recommended and it works! Perfect for a ham and tomato sandwich ☺️
Good to know the recipe works well with coconut flour Marie. Thanks for sharing that tip. The chaffles do make the most delicious sandwiches!
I made the recipe two ways. First…I’m allergic to eggs and almonds so I went with substitutes. Flax egg, sunflower seed flour, and regular mozzarella. Very crispy land much more of a cheese forward waffle. I actually really liked it this way.
Second try because I wanted to see the difference was with egg, sunflower seed flour, and mozzarella. This one was lighter, fluffy in comparison and much more egg forward. Like a cheese omelet in waffle form. I did not taste it but it looked and smelled great!
Both turned out wonderfully. Thanks Natalie!
I am so impressed you made it with flax egg Lori. That sounds incredible! What a fantastic option for people who don’t eat eggs. Thank you so much for sharing that tip!
I’ve been dying to try this one but i don’t have a waffle maker! Just don’t have the space for one. Have you tried it as a pancake or another way to make it??
I haven’t recipe tested the chaffle without a waffle maker Judith. I really don’t think it would work well as a pancake cooked in a skillet. The best part of them is the crispiness. You could sure try it though. Let me know if it turns out well for you. I sure hope you like them.
Excellent. Great texture, very easy to make, very versatile neutral taste. I used these for burger buns, cooking them in my dash mini waffle makes. They also held up really well to my toppings.
I love to hear that they had great texture and were easy to make Tanya. I also love how versatile they are. They are great for sandwiches and burgers too! So glad they held up well to your burger toppings.
