The Magic of Keto Chaffles
Introduction
Chaffles have taken the keto world by storm. These delicious, low-carb waffles made primarily from cheese and eggs (I do add 1 tbsp of almond flour) have become a staple in many keto diets. But what exactly are chaffles, and why are they so popular? Let’s dive in and explore the magic of keto chaffles.
What are Keto Chaffles?
The term “chaffle” is a portmanteau of “cheese” and “waffle”. As the name suggests, the basic ingredients of a chaffle are just cheese and eggs. The result is a delicious, crispy waffle that’s low in carbs and high in protein, making it perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. Not to mention they taste incredible and have been a massive hit with the kids and husband.
Why are Chaffles So Popular?
Chaffles are incredibly versatile. They can be used as a bread substitute for sandwiches, as a base for pizza, or even as a dessert when sweetened with keto-friendly sweeteners. Plus, they’re quick and easy to make, requiring just a few minutes and a waffle maker.
Basic Keto Chaffle Recipe
Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle maker.
- Mix the cheese and egg together in a bowl until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the waffle maker and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the chaffle and let it cool for a few minutes to crisp up further.

Chaffles have been an invaluable asset to our keto journey with the kids. From having them for pizza bases, or adding the sweet flavorings and having them as waffles with lemon and sugar or keto choc chips its a real treat. I never feel like I’m missing out when these are dished up. We have the Lakeland waffle maker and I can honestly say its amazing, it isn’t cheap but I’ve bought cheap and replaced it very quickly. Here is the link for my waffle maker we use https://amzn.to/3vb5j8B . You will not regret it.
