    What is a chaffle?

    You may be asking, "what is a chaffle?" Well, it is a cheesy waffle made from mild-flavoured cheese and egg. The cheese and egg cook together to make a light and fluffy waffle that is incredibly versatile because it doesn't taste like cheese. 

    Which waffle maker do I need?

    You do not need a fancy waffle maker to make these recipes.

    A mini waffle maker is a perfect size and will allow you to make 2 mini-chaffles for each recipe.

    A larger waffle maker will make one large waffle per recipe. Any waffle maker will work though.

    The basic recipe

    Each recipe will make TWO mini cheesy waffles or ONE large cheesy waffle.

    what are Chaffles

    Breakfast chaffles

    This easy healthy breakfast recipe is light in flavor and can be easily added to any breakfast.

    I like to serve mine with eggs, bacon, and avocado slices. If you are in a hurry add the eggs, bacon, and avocado slices between the two cheesy waffles for an easy breakfast sandwich.

    Or why not top the breakfast waffle with nut butter, or eat plain like regular toast?

    Wrap your sandwich with parchment paper or a paper towel and eat it on the road.

    Double chocolate chaffles

    The double chocolate recipe is rich in flavor and is excellent serves with a spoonful of sugar-free sweetened whipped cream.

    Almond flour is added to make the texture of the healthy sugar-free dessert a little fluffier. Cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate chips are used in the batter to make these luxurious chocolate chaffles double chocolate. 

    Why not add some low-sugar berries? Maybe cut the chocolate waffle into slices and dip in cinnamon sweetener?

    Chocolate chip vanilla chaffles

    The chocolate chip vanilla chaffle recipe is a child's dream come true. My kids absolutely love these no sugar treats for a special low-carb nutritious breakfast.

    I will top them with sugar-free sweetened whipped cream and serve them with a side of low-sugar fruit such as raspberries. 

    The combination makes for a filling breakfast that will fuel their body until lunch.

    No more sugary cereal or granola for us!

    Pizza chaffles

    The quick and easy pizza chaffle recipe is one of our favorite chaffles to make for lunch over the weekend. They are easy and fun and children love to add their own topping and have their own mini pizza.

    The base for mini-pizza is like a regular chaffle, but with added seasoning to give it that pizza flavor. Once the chaffle "crust" is made you just need to add the topping and bake until the cheese is melted.

    Our favorite toppings are a spoonful of no added sugar tomato paste, a little more mozzarella cheese, and sliced mini pepperoni. The pizzas are small so a lot of toppings are not required.

    Why not add fresh herbs or chopped vegetables to your pizza. If you have a batch of homemade pesto, feel free to add a spoonful to your pizza in place of tomato sauce.

    how to make Chaffles

    Expert recipe tips

    • Always mix the egg and cheese well before pouring into your waffle maker
    • Make sure you spread the chaffle mixture out evenly into your waffle maker
    • If you don't have a waffle maker, you can use a frying pan
    • The longer you cook chaffles, the crispier they become
    • You may substitute any mild cheese you wish to in place of pre-shredded mozzarella. 
    • Always check your pre-shredded mozzarella for additives such as potato or rice starch which is often added to prevent the shredded cheese from clumping. Find a good brand without these additional unnecessary carbs.

    Now that you have discovered chaffles you may become as obsessed with them as I am. They are fun to make together as a family and are always a hit. 

    Have fun while you make them and feel free to experiment and mix it up. I have released a FREE chaffle cookbook with 23 amazing sweet and savoury chaffle recipes to show you all the ways to make chaffles.

      Hi there! Great recipe and I love the flavors and textures! How much is one serving? At the top, the recipe states one serving is 2 mini or 1 large. The nutrition chart says 1 basic chaffle. Does the nutrition chart mean to indicate that’s one large basic chaffle? Thank you!

        The nutrition is for the chaffle recipe. You should be able to make 2 mini-chaffles per recipe or 1 large chaffle.

      One more comment about the double chocolate chaffles: I really appreciate that I can make them for me the way I want them, and then use real sugar plus regular chocolate chips for my husband. That keeps both of us happy. And he loved his as much as I loved mine.

      Ooh, Libby! I did the double chocolate chaffles for breakfast today and they are so satisfyingly chocolate, they are simply amazing. I tried out my new mini waffle maker and discovered that this recipe makes too much batter for two chaffles. Next time I’ll just use my regular size waffle maker, and still make two chaffles. This version is one i will be doing often (and my old not-keto chocolate waffle recipe that didn’t respond well to using mostly almond flour, is history). This is the only chocolate waffle recipe I’ll ever need. Thank you!

      Does the chaffles need to be refrigerated?

        Yes, they are almost all dairy so need to be kept in the fridge or eaten within a few hours out of the fridge, in a school lunch box for example.
