A low-carb version of the classic sausage and egg breakfast sandwich with a maple flavored chaffle instead of a pancake, this McGriddle copycat is freezable and packable - you can prep breakfast ahead of time and eat it on the go.
Similar to other breakfast sandwich recipes, you can mix and match the sandwich ingredients too. Not a fan of sausage? Try bacon! Want some cheese in there? Sure, add some cheddar cheese or even pepper jack cheese for a sweet and spicy twist! This recipe is totally customizable!
What makes this the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast is that you can meal prep these ahead of time and store in the freezer for later. Then when you are running late for school or work, wrap it in a paper towel and microwave for 90 seconds. You’ll be headed out that door in less than two minutes with a McGriddle sandwich in your hands. How to make a Keto McGriddle

This was so easy and tasted amazing. I used coconut flour and added a touch more syrup. So easy for the mornings.
Wow! This is so good and easy to make thank you!!!
Once again, the carb count is wrong. You even link a sugar free maple syrup, tell us to use 1 tablespoon (16g of carbs) and then tell us it’s 5 grams??? I’m curious how you justify this count?
I understand your concern but the 5 grams are net carbs not total carbs. The syrup used has 16 total carbs per tablespoon but 1 g net carb since 15 g are from soluble fiber which isn't absorb; therefore shouldn't have an impact on blood sugar. Most people on a keto diet count net carbs not total carbs. If you count total carbs, then yes, this recipe wouldn't be for you. As far as the total carb info on my this recipe card, I have been working to adjust some of these to be more accurate, but the majority of keto recipe websites don't report the total carbs from sugar-free sweeteners at all since they aren't absorbed and don't affect blood sugars. When I first started my website, I was just following suit with how other keto websites reported their carbohydrates. I updated this one to be more accurate.
Only used 1/4 cup cheese and added a little maple flavoring. so good! Thanks for sharing!
These were super easy and yummy! I did change the cheese to cheddar for the chaffle and they were so good. Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe.
Just started keto and seen this recipe. Definitely gonna try it.
Looks great I am definitely going to try this! Curious where the 5 carbs come from? I don't see any carbs besides the chaffle. Is it 5? Thank you for sharing this recipe!
The chaffle and there are some in the sausage patty I used. Also the syrup has some
This chaffle holds up so well as a sandwich! Plus, it's easy and delicious. I make chaffles almost daily and have tried a few recipes, but this is at the top of my list.
Delicious ?
My husband was worried he wouldn’t like it, he’s new to keto. I made this McGriddle and he loves it!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Yes yes yes! This is my first attempt at chuffles and I'm very impressed. In my favourite recipe journal. I'm going to batch cook and put in the freezer, with out sausage so I can make sandwiches with them. Thank you x
