Chaffle means cheese-waffle. In fact, a chaffle is a low-carb waffle recipe made of egg and cheese, usually shredded mozzarella cheese. Some recipes add a touch of keto flour for texture – it can be almond flour, coconut flour, or even sunflower seed flour.

You can also see different addons in chaffle recipes like butter, cream cheese, and sweetener to create a range of flavors and textures. Most keto chaffle recipes are savory and sometimes sweet as they mimic wonderfully churros if flavored with cinnamon and dipped in keto sweeteners.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to start making this keto chaffle chocolate recipe are:

• Large Egg – eggs are very much keto-friendly.
• Shredded cheese –  the fun part with this chocolate chaffle is that you don’t actually need the cheese! Chaffles traditionally mean cheese waffle so you technically use cheese to add crispy texture to the waffle. But, if you want to make a softer chocolate waffle, skip it and make this dairy-free! Otherwise, for a crispy chaffle use a non-flavored cheese, hard mozzarella cheese, full-fat is the best option for a sweet chaffle recipe. It adds the crispy texture you need without the flavor of the cheese. Learn how to pick keto-friendly cheese.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Erythritol – or any other low-carb crystal sweetener.
• Vanilla extract or vanilla monk fruit drops for an extra boost of sweetness.
• Melted butter
• Almond flour or coconut flour, or sunflower seed flour – you can use many different keto flours but not in the same amount! Please read the recipe card carefully to adjust the quantity depending on the low-carb flour you pick for the recipe.

How To Make Chocolate Chaffles

A keto chocolate chaffle is a crispy chocolate waffle made of a few simple ingredients and minimal carbs. It’s a wonderful breakfast or keto dessert to fix your sweet tooth with no guilt.

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk all the liquid ingredients together: egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Then, whisk in dry ingredients and stir the cheese at the very end.
2. You can bake chaffle in a regular waffle iron or mini waffle maker. A mini waffle maker is perfect to create small waffles and control your carbs per serving.
3. It means that with this recipe, you can form 3 mini keto waffles with 2 grams of net carbs each.
4. If you don’t feel like eating the entire recipe, you can freeze any leftover and eat only what match your keto macros.
5. A chaffle is always soft when out of the waffle maker!
6. You must let it cool down on a cooling rack to steam out the moisture and give the cheese time to harden and add the lovely crispiness to the waffle.

Serving Suggestions

These chocolate chaffles are keto, low carb, and to keep your plate that way, you must add keto toppings on top. The most delicious are:

• Unsweetened whipped cream
• Keto fruits – 3-5 raspberries marry very well with chocolate.
• Keto chocolate chips – add them to the hot chaffle to let them melt and create a double chocolate flavor.
• Melted chocolate chips
• Chopped nuts or seeds – like almonds, peanuts, hemp seeds
• Unsweetened coconut – toasted coconut flakes are delicious with chocolate.

Storage Instructions

Once cooked, the chaffles are best eaten immediately. But you can freeze them in an airtight container and thaw them in the fridge the day before. Rewarm in a bread toaster or waffle maker to get some crispiness back.

Allergy Swaps

If you are allergic to some of the ingredients, follow these instructions:

• Making it Nut-Free: replace the almond flour with coconut flour (1/3 of it).
• Making it Cheese-Free: skip the mozzarella altogether.

Unfortunately, you can’t make these chocolate chaffles egg-free.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

• ▢ 1 large Egg
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• ▢ ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Almond Flour or 2 teaspoons of coconut flour, if nut free
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder optional
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Granulated Sweetener

Optional – for a super crispy waffle

• ▢ ¼ cup Shredded Mozzarella or 1/3 cup for extra-crispiness

Serving suggestion per chaffle

• ▢ 1 teaspoon Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Instructions

• Preheat a mini waffle iron until hot – about 5 minutes and use a pastry brush to grease the iron with coconut oil.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Stir in almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and erythritol.
• Now that the batter is smooth, you have two options, cook the waffle without cheese for a soft chocolate waffle or stir in shredded mozzarella for a crispy chaffle. I like to add 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella for a medium crispy texture, add 1/3 cup for super crispy chaffle
• Pour enough batter to cover the iron's surface, leaving some space on the border to prevent the batter from overflowing when baking. I used about 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter for one mini iron waffle maker, as seen in my pictures.
• Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes max to avoid dry waffles. Your chaffle won't be crispy at all when you open the iron, but it will be set, not runny, don't stick to the iron.
• Use the tip of a knife or fork to release the border and remove it from the waffle iron. Yes, the chaffle is super soft, and that is ok! They crisp up when cooling down!
• Place the chaffle on a cooling rack for 5 minutes to crisp. Meanwhile, bake the leftover batter to form 2 extra mini waffles.

Serving suggestions

• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar-free chocolate chips on the hot chaffle. They will melt and add an extra boost of chocolate flavor! Or serve with a drizzle of sugar-free maple-flavored syrup, a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.

Storage

• You can freeze chaffle in an airtight container and thaw in the fridge the day before. Rewarm in a bread toaster or waffle maker.
