What Are Chaffles?
Chaffles are low-carb waffles made primarily from a combination of cheese and eggs—hence the name chaffle (cheese + waffle). Originally popularized in the keto community, they’re a fantastic option for a quick breakfast, snack, or even a bread substitute for sandwiches.
The classic chaffle recipe uses only eggs and cheese, which creates a crispy, cheesy waffle. However, it can sometimes taste a bit eggy. To fix that, I like to add a small amount of coconut flour (or almond flour) to improve the texture and make them taste more like traditional waffles—soft inside, crispy outside, and perfectly keto-friendly. Even non-keto eaters won’t notice the difference!

Ingredients For Keto Chaffles
You will need only 3 ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen to create these delicious keto chaffles. Here is a note o the ingredients:

Tips for Making the Best Crispy Keto Chaffles
Want your keto chaffles to turn out perfectly every time? Follow these helpful tips for crispy, delicious results:
- Grease the waffle maker well: Spray or brush your waffle iron generously with oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Use low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella: This type of cheese keeps the chaffle crispy instead of soggy. Avoid fresh mozzarella, which has too much moisture.
- Finely shred the cheese: Finer shreds melt evenly and give a better texture throughout the chaffle.
- Don’t overfill the waffle maker: A little goes a long way! Overfilling can cause overflow and a messy cleanup.
- Let them rest: After cooking, allow your chaffles to sit for a minute or two to firm up and become crispier.
