๐ง Keto Chaffles: The Low-Carb Waffle Hack You’ll Love!
If you’re following a keto or low-carb lifestyle, chaffles are about to become your new favorite go-to. These cheesy, crispy, and ultra-satisfying waffles are incredibly easy to make and endlessly customizable. Whether you enjoy them savory or sweet, chaffles are perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or even a quick snack.
๐ง What is a Chaffle?
A chaffle is a waffle made primarily from cheese and eggs—hence the name chaffle (cheese + waffle). It’s low in carbs, high in fat, and packed with flavor. You can make it in a mini waffle maker, which creates the perfect size and crispiness, but a standard waffle maker works great too! I use a standard waffle maker for me and my family.
๐ Basic Chaffle Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 large egg
-
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a sharper flavor)
-
Optional: Pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning for a savory kick
Instructions:
-
Preheat your waffle maker.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and cheese together until well combined.
-
Spray your waffle iron with nonstick spray.
-
Pour the mixture into the waffle iron (split in half if using a mini maker).
-
Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
-
Remove and let cool for 1 minute. It gets crispier as it sits!

Craving something sweet? Try this variation:
