Basic Keto Chaffle Recipe

This Basic Keto Chaffle Recipe is a great staple to have for easy breakfasts and snacks! Just 1.4 net carbs, easy to freeze and reheat, and perfect for keto meal prep.

What is a Chaffle?

A chaffle is a “cheese waffle,” or a waffle made using cheese. It’s a delicious invention that’s quick to cook and uses a small list of ingredients. In fact, a chaffle can technically be made with only cheese and eggs (although I do add two other ingredients for my own preferences… I’ll explain below)! This makes it an excellent keto option–Low in carbs with a good dose of fat.

Ingredients are mixed into a batter, then poured into a hot waffle iron. It only takes a few minutes to cook and can be frozen for later, making it perfect for meal prepping. Using a mini waffle maker, you can make chaffles to use in place of sandwich bread, burger buns, and more!

I add a bit of almond flour for structure and some baking powder so it gets fluffy like a normal waffle but remains easy and keto-friendly. The recipe is so customizable, too. You can add chopped meats to make it more filling, use different cheeses to change the flavor, even add cooked vegetables to add more nutrition! For me, a good basic keto chaffle recipe has become essential to sticking with my keto lifestyle.

 

How to reheat chaffles

If chaffles are frozen, thaw them on the counter (about 30 minutes) or overnight in the fridge. You can reheat these in several different ways.

  • Air Fryer – This is the crispiest way; Heat to 300 degrees F and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Waffle Maker – Preheat the waffle maker, pop the chaffle in, and close the maker for about a minute.
  • Toaster – Just like you would toast bread, place the chaffle in and let it toast for 30 seconds or so.
  • Oven/Toaster Oven – Warm oven to 350 degrees F and cook 4-5 minutes.
  • Stovetop – Heat a dry pan to medium and cook 1 minute on each side.

 

Chaffle FAQs

Why is it called a chaffle?

It’s a “cheese waffle” with a focus on being low-carb with a good amount of fat and protein.

Do I have to use almond flour?

No, you can use 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, but add 5 minutes to your prep time. Coconut flour is super absorbent and needs extra time to get the right texture. Some people choose to use no flour or baking powder at all; that’s fine, it’s just super dense, eggy, and not a great bread substitute.

Can I make it dairy free?

I’ve not tried using any cheese substitutes in this recipe, so I’m not sure. I do think plant-based cheeses that melt okay would work, though.
