The basic Chaffle recipe is simply cheese and egg. We, of course, have taken it a step further and perfected the recipe with the addition of just a few more ingredients. And the best part, it only takes a couple of minutes to prepare.
The chaffle can be used for hamburger buns, hot dog buns, tortillas, Monte Cristos, pizza, and even desserts. And it doesn’t stop there. Think of the possibilities! Just when we think we can’t love this keto lifestyle anymore, along comes the chaffle. This is our version of the Chaffle recipe. So go ahead, Chaffle on.
Basic Chaffle Recipe
Basic recipe makes 2 small Chaffles. Serving size is both Chaffles. These recipes can be doubled or even tripled. You can refrigerate them or even freeze them.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of cheese, shredded (you can use any cheese)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of almond flour (can substitute with 1 tablespoon of coconut flour if desired)
Instructions:
Gather and prepare all your ingredients and preheat your waffle maker.
Mix together your egg, shredded cheese, baking powder, and almond or coconut flour.
Pour half your mixture into the waffle maker. Cook till done. Remove. Pour the remaining batter into the waffle maker and cook.
We bought the small Dash brand mini waffle maker and the mini griddle (you can use either one) to use with this recipe and it makes the perfect size chaffle. Don’t have a mini waffle maker? You can use a regular waffle maker or skillet in a pinch.

Versatile
The Chaffle recipe is very versatile.
For a hamburger or hot dog Chaffle bun, we use the basic recipe with cheddar or Monterey jack cheese. For a sweet variation, we prefer to use mozzarella cheese. The kind of cheese you use is completely up to you.
Chaffle Variations
For each variation, you will combine the ingredients listed then cook just as you would the basic Chaffle recipe. When cooking chaffle only add approximately 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter to the mini waffle maker. If you are using a regular size waffle maker split the batter in half.
These variations make 3 to 4 servings.
