Waffles are a classic breakfast recipe, but have you had a keto chaffle?
First off, let me express, there are foundational recipes and ingredients of the keto diet that really empower those that follow it. Almond flour is one of those, sugar replacements are another, and the last is a chaffle! So my challenge to you is to not take these chaffle recipes for granted! Harness the flexibility, yet utility they bring. You got this!
There are many keto waffles recipes out there but most of them require a lot of ingredients and take time to mix the batter, chaffles are different. These keto chaffle recipes are so easy, fast and fun!
Chaffles are a keto waffle that only require a few ingredients and can be made in less than 5 minutes. As a result, low carb dieters are jumping on board with the keto chaffle craze.
Not only are chaffles easy to make, they are also delicious! The cheese inside the chaffle creates a crispy outer crust, just like a traditional waffle. The inside of a chaffle is chewy. The flavor of a chaffle is on the cheesier side, but once you cover your chaffle with butter and low carb syrup, you can’t tell a difference!
What is a Chaffle?
Let’s get specific!
A chaffle is a low carb waffle that is primarily made up of mozzarella cheese and an egg.
The original chaffle recipe calls for one egg and ½ cup cheese. However, there are many different variations floating around.
This recipe adds almond flour and baking powder to give the waffle a little more substance, help fluff it up and decrease the cheesy flavor. Without these two add-in ingredients, your keto waffle might taste like an omelet.
When it comes to the cheese part of this keto chaffle recipe, you have a couple of options:
- This keto recipe uses mozzarella cheese which is a mild flavored cheese.
- You could also use cream cheese, 1 oz.; however, using cream cheese creates a softer, spongier waffle.
These waffles make great dessert waffles – like chaffle cakes with cream cheese frosting!

I like your recipes.
I’ve only had a chance to review a couple of recipes they seem like a good food idea. I also like the way you have laid everything out, this the best idea I’ve seen. Thanks for your giving to help others.
The Chaffle recipe is the best!! Thank you!
First time I have tried a Chaffle recipe since going keto three years ago. What was I waiting for???!!! Awesome recipe and all the possibilities… thank you for sharing this wonderful and easy recipe!
Hi, any idea what the approximate cholesterol in mg would be?
Question also applies to the Keto French toast recipe. Really want to try them, but have to watch my LDLs…
Thanks.
Cholesterol for this chaffle is 230mg and for the french toast: 155.8mg per slice
HI, NJ.
Don’t sweat out total cholesterol unless it’s off-the-charts high. Only 20% of your total cholesterol is from diet. It’s far more important to look at the ratio of Triglycerides to HDL. You want to keep it below “3”. Two or less is ideal. Another good metric is your HDL-to-triglycerides level which should be above .24. Most important is your A1C number (few patients ever ask for this when getting a script for bloodwork) and it should be in the very low “fives” and, better still, below five.
Just started Keto and wanted to try your Chaffle recipe. Wow, it taste just like a waffle. I couldn’t taste the cheese. Of course I think I may have over did it with butter and syrup? I also sprinkled some cinnamon on top. How much butter and syrup should I be using?
Just new to Keto. Just made the Chaffle for breakfast and wow it was great! You can’t taste the cheese and it really does taste like a waffle. Added cinnamon, butter and sugar free syrup. I think I may have used more of the butter and syrup though then I should have!
They are good but an absolute mess to make. The batter oozes out of the mini waffle maker!!! Everywhere! Anyone else have this issue?
Try putting in a small amount of batter. Add a small amount to the center and it will spread as it cooks.
I made 30 of these and froze them. I love folding them with 2 slices of bacon. Thank you!
My husband does things like… chaffle, bacon, mayo, no plate and done.
As I was making these chaffles I was finding it hard to believe that 4 ingredients is all it takes. It really is that simple and easy.
Love your content and delivery! I check for new videos all the time! I’m new to Keto (November 2021), tripped up a few times and your videos helped me “get it together”. Made it through the holidays and now, three months later…all good! Thank you!
They look kind of floppy…is there any way to ensure they are crispy on the outside?
They aren’t floppy at all. The longer you cook them the more they crisp up.
I have a nut allergy, can I use coconut flour instead? How much? Excited to try these! Thanks
Yes! You can use coconut flour instead. Use only 2 teaspoons of coconut flour as it tends to absorb more liquid than the almond flour.
Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes and answering all my Newbie question I have learned a lot since finding your site and I have been sharing with my friends who are also on the KETO Journey I wish someone would take the time to put together a list of alternative items to inter change with existing recipes since I am sure there are many people who have allergies like myself Thank you again Looking forward to the next week of recipes
Don’t use a mini maker! You will be FORever making chaffles. Get a 4-waffle maker and don’t stand there all day making chaffles. They freeze well or just put in fridge.
Yes, I was making one at a time for breakfast and hubby was done before I could get one. So there I was one at a time
Tried this for breakfast this morning. Super easy and very tasty!
Is this recipe for only one chaffle?
one large waffle with a larger waffle maker or 3 eggo sized waffles
