Description
These Keto Cream Cheese Chaffles are crispy, golden, and deliciously cheesy low-carb waffles made with just a few simple ingredients. They’re quick to prepare, versatile, and perfect as sandwich buns, pizza crusts, or classic breakfast waffles—without any guilt or extra carbs.
Ingredients
1 large egg
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a sharper flavor)
1/4 tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffier texture)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Butter or oil spray, for greasing the waffle maker
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat a mini waffle maker (such as a Dash Mini Waffle Maker) and lightly grease it with butter or oil spray.
- Make the batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in shredded cheese, baking powder, and salt.
- Cook the chaffles: Pour half the batter into the waffle maker, close the lid, and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Let chaffles rest for 1–2 minutes to crisp up before serving. Enjoy warm as-is, or use as sandwich buns, pizza bases, or topped with sweet keto-friendly toppings.
Notes
For savory chaffles, add garlic powder, herbs, or grated parmesan.
For sweet chaffles, add a keto sweetener and vanilla extract, then top with sugar-free syrup or whipped cream.
Let chaffles cool for a minute after cooking for maximum crispness.
Mozzarella creates a mild flavor; cheddar adds sharpness.
Use baking powder for a fluffier, more waffle-like texture.
