I like to toast my Chaffles in they have been in the fridge. After toasting, top with your favourite sandwich dressing (i.e. mayonnaise or mustard), layer on your favourite cold cuts, vegetables, greens, and cheeses.

Toast the Chaffle, add sliced or mashed avocados, and sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel topping. I make a big batch and store it in a shaker bottle. See below for a bonus recipe:

Fried Egg on a Chaffle

Toast the Chaffle, and place a fried egg cooked to your liking on top. I like my fried eggs to be soft and runny but like the white cooked. You can add sliced or mashed avocados, cold cuts, bacon, or cheese.

Who are Chaffles good for?

Chaffles are a great bread substitute for anyone looking to lower their carb intake but who loves to eat bread. They are low-carb and full of protein, so they are perfect for those following the ketogenic diet as well. Each chaffle contains 236 calories, 22 g fat, 2 g carbs, and 11 g protein, making this the perfect Keto bread substitute. For reference, a typical sourdough bread slice contains 23 g of carbs and 5 g of protein.

Are Chaffles gluten-free?

Yes, Chaffles do not contain any gluten. They are made with almond flour and rely on eggs and cheese to keep them together.

How to eat Chaffles?

Chaffles are versatile and can be consumed in many ways. The most common way is to use them as sandwich bread. Check out my blog post on How to Eat Your Chaffles.

How to Store your Chaffles?

Wrap each Chaffle in parchment or wax paper and place in a sealable container or wrapping. I use a large sheet of beeswax. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

How to make Chaffles?

Chaffles are super simple to make. Much easier than bread. The proportions listed in this recipe can easily be adapted for single servings which yield 2 Chaffles. All you have to do is divide the ingredients by 4.

Ingredients for 8 Chaffles:

ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 8 tbsp almond flour (1/2 cup)
  • 8 tbsp mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1-2 cracks each of salt and pepper
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Making the batter:

  1. Add all ingredients except shredded cheese to a bowl and mix until incorporated.
  2. Add in shredded cheese and mix until incorporated.

Alternate Flavours

It is really easy to modify the recipe to change up the taste. The recipe as shown is delicious but is bland (making it a good white bread substitute). If you are looking for more flavour, make any one or a combination of the following tweaks:

4 dressing
  • Instead of mayonnaise, chose your favourite creamy dressing. I love using ranch, Caesar or Deep Roasted Sesame dressing.
  • Use a smoked cheese instead of bland mozzarella. I like using a smoked Gouda.

Cooking instructions for traditional Chaffle

  1. Grease waffle maker with oil (I use avocado because it does well in high heat)
adding oil to a waffle maker
  1. Turn on and close the lid. Follow owners manual for operating instructions.
  2. Add 1/3 cup of chaffle mixture to the center of the waffle maker and close the lid. The batter will spread out on its own.
  3. Wait about 20-30 seconds after the waffle maker light turns to ready (green on the model I have).
  4. Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker. I use a silicon flat tool to help remove.

  1. Place on a sheet of parchment paper. To help the chaffles retain their crispness, do not layer them – place them side by side to cool.
  2. Re-grease the waffle grid in any areas that the waffle got may have stuck.

Don’t have a waffle maker – No problem! Cook the batter as you would a pancake to make a Chaffle Flatbread.

  • Grease a pan (I use the Heritage Rock non-stick iron pan). Heat on medium heat.
  • Add 1/3 cup of chaffle mixture to the pan and cook like a pancake, only turning once (about 2 min, flip about 1 min)
  • Place on a sheet of parchment paper. To help the chaffles retain their crispness, do not layer them – place them side by side to cool.
