Ingredients
Scale
Chaffle Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For Cooking
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker and spray it generously with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the chaffles do not stick during cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Batter: Pour half of the prepared batter into the preheated waffle maker, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Cook Chaffle: Close the waffle maker lid and cook the batter for 3 to 5 minutes until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove & Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker. Re-spray the waffle maker as needed and repeat the process with the remaining batter to make the second chaffle.
- Optional Toppings: For an extra cheesy touch, add more cheese or your favorite toppings between the chaffle layers before cooking or serve with toppings after cooking.
Notes
- You can use either cheddar or mozzarella cheese depending on your flavor preference.
- Make sure the waffle maker is well preheated for best crispiness.
- Be careful when removing chaffles to avoid breaking them as they can be delicate when hot.
- Feel free to add spices like garlic powder or herbs for extra flavor.
- Chaffles can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
