Sweet Keto Chaffle Waffles

Once you try this delicious keto sweet chaffle recipe you’ll understand why there is a chaffle craze. Hints of vanilla combined with a little sweetness are the secret behind this fabulous recipe. Feel free to tweak the recipe to suit such as adding a little cinnamon. My favorite way to serve these is topped with strawberries, sugar free maple syrup and a drizzle of cream. Serve them up as you would normally serve a traditional waffle or pancake.

THE BEST SWEETENER TO USE

Chaffles can be made with any granulated or powdered low carb sweetener that is not too concentrated, ie close to 1:1 with white sugar. You can also use a brown sugar substitute. I don’t advise using liquid sweeteners as you want the bulk of the sweetener to add weight to the chaffle.

You can use a chaffle maker or a waffle maker to make this recipe. You can also cook these in a non stick pan on the stove top. Instructions for both methods are included in the recipe.

HINTS FOR MAKING CHAFFLES

Try to use mozzarella cheese for sweet chaffles because it is quite plain in flavor. Tasty cheese, cheddar etc, can be used but you may find it a little strong in flavor and will also produce a more crisp chaffle. You can also use a combination of cheeses, ie half mozzarella and half tasty (cheddar) cheese. You will also find that mozzarella cheese chaffles are more likely to ooze than chaffles made using harder cheeses.

Make sure you use large eggs so you get the right consistency and your chaffle doesn’t end up too dry.

Don’t overfill your chaffle iron. The batter can ooze out if you add too much. If your chaffle starts to ooze, lift the lid of the iron/maker slightly, until the chaffle starts to cook, before slowly placing the lid down. If your batter does leak simply use a spatula to wipe away the excess on the sides.

If your chaffles are a little delicate and start to fall apart when you remove them from the waffle iron, let them cool a little more before removing. Chaffles straight from the waffle maker are generally soft but they will firm up as they cool.

Storing Chaffles

• Store chaffles/waffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Chaffles/waffles can also be frozen for use at a later date.

Recipe Notes

You can use a hard/tasty cheese or a mixture of hard and mozzarella cheese. Hard cheese will produce a slightly more crispy chaffle and the flavor isn't quite as subtle as mozzarella cheese.

I use a Dash chaffle maker and my favorite waffle maker is the Breville Creations Waffle Maker, as you can adjust the temperature.

If you don't have a waffle or chaffle maker you can also cook these on a hot pan on the stove top. Make sure the temperature is quite hot and watch carefully to ensure they don't burn. Grease or oil the pan first and make sure the pan is hot before adding the batter.
