How to make Keto Chaffles

Start by heating up a mini waffle maker. Grate the mozzarella and cheddar cheese and then mix them together.

Cutting board with shredded cheese next to a mini waffle maker and whisked egg.

Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk until the egg white is fully combined with the yolk. Whisk in the almond flour, baking powder, onion powder and then the cheese.

First keto chaffle is cooked, next to a dish with the remaining egg mixture.

Spread half inside the hot mini waffle maker, close the lid and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the chaffle and place on paper towel to cool, then repeat for the second chaffle.

Both chaffles are ready, one on a cutting board and the other is in the open waffle maker.

Want a crisp crust?

Only put half of the grated cheese into the egg mixture. Sprinkle some of the remaining cheese on the bottom of the mini waffle maker before the egg mixture, and then sprinkle a little more on top before you close the lid.

  11. Svenja says:

    Hi
    The idea sounds amazing and i really want to try them out but I don’t have a waffle machine, do you think i could also make them in a pan?
    Thank you for your amazing recipes

    1. Aleta says:

      Hi Svenja, I am not sure if they would cook properly in a pan because they would spread too much, but it’s totally worth a shot! Otherwise you could try cooking them like the 90 Second Keto Bread?

    It was delicious

    1. Aleta says:

      So glad you loved it ☺️

  13. Margie says:

    Outstanding!!!! Thank you!!! I cooked in the mini waffle maker then put it in the toast oven just to make it a little crisper. It worked so well. I didn’t miss the bun at all! Thumbs up.

    1. Aleta says:

      So glad you loved them so much Margie! I find saving a bit of the grated cheese for both sides of the mini waffle maker, before adding the batter, will produce a crispy chaffle as well 🙂 Mmmm crispy cheese 😛
