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!

Whisking the egg with mozzarella created a super stretchy, almost gooey base that crisped beautifully in my waffle maker. The almond flour added a subtle nuttiness that really elevated the flavor. Just 3 minutes in and I had a golden chaffle with crispy edges and a fluffy middle.
I made this for my bride, and she had a foodgasam.
This recipe is amazing. I love making keto chaffles. I would like to add though,that I only used one tablespoon of almond flour instead of two just so it can lessen the amount of carbs because on the bag of great value, almond flour, 2 tablespoons equals one net carb… So by using only 1 tablespoon I believe made is 0.5 net carbs and the recipe still works just fine .
I also use my “my mini” waffle maker so one batch of this recipe makes 3 mini waffles (so it makes me feel like I have “more”… lolz).
Overall love the recipe and thank you for sharing.
Newbie, here 😉
Would like to make a BATCH of these.
Can you provide a recipe showing how to make MULTIPLES?
Thanks in advance….❤️
I’m looking for the recipe for the large batch of chaffles you make on your low budget keto for a week for under $40.
omg first time i made these, and these are the best,,, ,, easy i will be making more now thanku luv ur recipes
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your recipes. I did keto years ago with the Atkins diet and it just didn’t work for me – too rigid. The “new” keto is much better and even more better with doable recipes. The chaffles are great, but I can’t stand the taste of the baking powder. Has anyone found a work-around for this ingredient to get similar results?
How much in dl or grams is
½ cup mozzarella cheese
– in the chaffle recepie.
Please <3
I’m so impressed with this recipe. I would never know these weren’t regular waffles if I hadn’t made them!! Thank you so much!
Is this recipe for only one chaffle?
one large waffle with a larger waffle maker or 3 eggo sized waffles
Tried this for breakfast this morning. Super easy and very tasty!
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Yummy 😋. How did he make them?
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 fry mine in a pan with butter like a pancake. No mess
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!
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?
Lots of butter is fine and good on keto. The syrup should be sugar free – a keto variety is best because the typical sugar substitutes are bad for us. Find good ones in health food stores or Amazon.
Hey, Chris! Sounds like you had a good time with the chaffles. Wish I could splurge like that. Unfortunately I watch my weight so I’m STRICTLY keto and have been for many years now. It keeps me at my ideal skinny self and feeling great!
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.
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!
The Chaffle recipe is the best!! Thank you!
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.
I like your recipes.
Hey Joyce 🙂
