So what exactly is a chaffle? I’m so glad you asked! It’s a super fast and easy creation that can stand in for buns and bread, or be eaten on its own.

A chaffle takes just minutes to make in a handy dandy mini waffle maker using just a few ingredients.

The beauty of this simple recipe is the tons of different options you can come up with! By changing up the seasoning you use, the chaffle takes on different flavors. You can sweeten it up for a breakfast or dessert, or you can add savory seasonings and use it for a sandwich or hamburger!

You will need a mini waffle maker to make these chaffles! This little thing makes the perfect size chaffles for a hamburger or breakfast sandwich. Plus, it doesn’t take a lot of room to store it in your kitchen!

To make savory chaffles, you will need eggs, shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and seasonings of your choice.

Mozzarella cheese works best in sweet chaffles. A mix of cheeses (like mozzarella, cheddar, Colby, and Parmesan) is perfect for the savory chaffles.

Making Your Chaffle

You can make the chaffle sweet using sugar substitute like Swerve and spices like cinnamon, maple extract, or vanilla extract.

Make the chaffle savory by adding a variety of other seasonings like garlic, onion, Italian spices, cayenne, curry, etc. You can further change up the flavor if your savory chaffle by using different combinations of cheeses. Parmesan, extra sharp cheddar, and Colby all taste great in these.

Experiment and see what you come up with!

Ingredients for a Sweet Chaffle

• 1 tablespoons almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp Swerve (or other sugar substitute)

Ingredients for the Savory Chaffle

• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese of your choice – this any combination of flavors you like (or simply more mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• pinch of salt and pepper
• note – switch out the seasonings to your liking!

Cook that Chaffle!

Plug in your mini waffle maker so it can preheat.

Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix them well. A fork is fine for this, or you can use a hand mixer if you like.

Once the mini waffle maker is hot, pour half of the batter into the waffle maker and close the lid.

The chaffle cooks pretty quick. It’s done when it looks nice and golden brown. You can keep it in a tad longer if you want your chaffle to be a bit more crispy.

Another trick for making the chaffle crispier is to add a bit of shredded cheese to the waffle maker before adding the batter, the add a bit more shredded cheese over to of the batter.

Once it’s done, carefully remove it from the mini waffle maker and let it cool.

Repeat this process for the other half of the batter.

Put it All Together

Now you’re ready to make your creation!

For the sweet chaffle, try drizzling it with syrup for a fun twist on waffles, make a breakfast sandwich by using two chaffles as the bread, or add your favorite dessert items to it! These taste great with keto fluff and sugar free chocolate syrup on top!

For the savory chaffle, make a sandwich or hamburger!

These also work well for toasted sandwiches. I used mine to make a bacon grilled cheese. Just add a bit of butter to a hot pan and assemble the sandwich in the pan. Then flip to toast the other side.

If you’re feeling extra creative, add bits of meats like ham, pepperoni, bacon, or salmi to the batter before you cook it. These are simple and fun ways to come up with chaffles to dip!
