Keto chaffles are the latest craze with only 3 net carbs for the whole recipe! Have fun coming up with different creations or combos with this recipe.
Chaffle Recipe
So there are quite a couple of different variations of chaffle recipes floating around and the main recipe calls for an egg and cheddar. I tried this and thought it was too eggy for me. That is why I add a little almond flour to my recipe. If you don’t want almond flour, leave it out!
No baking soda is needed to make a chaffle. I deleted it from the original recipe because some readers were complaining it left a bitter taste.
After seeing all the latest posts on the keto recipe subreddit, I busted out my waffle iron and gave it a try. My waffle iron hadn’t been used in a long time and it was about time this kitchen appliance has had some love.
It’s also nice when you have all the ingredients on hand when you see a trending recipe like this online to make it right away! Aldi has pretty cheap almond flour and I’ve been testing recipes a lot with it lately, and not to mention they have cheap eggs. After trying this recipe, the chaffle did not disappoint! It is just as good as the famous Fat Head Pizza Crust which is another popular dough recipe on this site.
I made my chaffle into a pizza.
What is chaffle?
The basic recipe for a chaffle contains cheddar cheese, almond flour, and an egg. You mix the ingredients together in a bowl and pour it on top of your waffle maker. Waffle makers are probably on the rise right now after this chaffle recipe exploded the other day ago. I was kind of skeptical at first thinking there was no way this would turn out after mixing it all together and pouring the batter on top of the waffle. I was expecting one big gigantic mess. Make sure to spray the waffle maker really well. The waffle turned out great and it was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
What do I need to make a chaffle?
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 c. Cheddar – I used Happy Farms brand from Aldi
- 2 tablespoons of almond flour
How to make a chaffle?
To make a chaffle you will need a good waffle iron. I really like this one. It’s the VillaWare Belgian Waffle Maker. I’m a huge fan of Alton Brown and I have this same waffle iron he uses on his show. I looked to see if this particular brand was sold on Amazon and it is not, unfortunately. If you are looking to purchase a waffle maker, I have some listed below with links to Amazon. I’ve been using it for a long time now and I love it.
- Preheat your waffle maker if it requires preheating.
- Whisk together the egg, cheddar, and almond flour, in a bowl until well combined.
- Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray and pour the chaffle batter on top of the waffle maker. Close and let the waffle for 3 to 4 minutes. My waffle maker has it’s own automatic timer setting.
- Take the waffle out of the waffle iron and enjoy.
What can you serve with a chaffle?
On the keto recipes subreddit, I’ve seen people serve this with sausage gravy that looked like absolute heaven. You can use the recipe as a bun for burgers, pizza, make a breakfast sandwich you name it. You can do so many things with this recipe and I plan on making some more.
Everyone, I’m completely obsessed with the chaffle! There are so many things you can make with it. I decided every time I make something new with it., I’ll take a picture of it and post it here with a short description of what I did to make it. 🙂
Tips for Chaffles
Remember this is just a base recipe. You can leave out any ingredient you want or sub in different kinds of cheese. Mozzarella works as well. If you have a dairy allergy try using a dairy-free cheese such as Daiya.
The whole recipe makes 1 chaffle.
To freeze chaffles, let them cool completely before storing them in the freezer. Can be made ahead of time for meal prep. Store them in airtight containers to have throughout the week.

My chaffle recipe doesn’t call for any sweetener. Are you on the right page?
Anne Westover says
I’ll be purchasing a Waffle Maker tomorrow. I was thinking that the cals are quite high at 372 and the Sat fats at 14 g too in your Chaffle recipe. What are your thoughts? I’ve been recently diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica and while taking steroids for the duration ( 1 to 2 yrs) I want to keep my carbs down to the bear minimum as the risk of getting type 2 diabetes is potentially high while taking steroids. Your recipes look so nice though. I’ve cut my sugar down too. I noticed in your recipe for Waffles you said to add granulated sweetener, is there an alternative ?
Juliette C Harris says
Very good! I used mozzarella and a little Magic Syrup for sweetness.
