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
Others
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for cooking the chaffles evenly and getting a crispy exterior.
- Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Spray Waffle Maker: Spray the preheated waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote easy removal of the chaffles.
- Cook Chaffles: Pour half of the batter into the waffle maker, spreading it evenly over the surface. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying non-stick spray as needed to avoid sticking.
- Optional – Add Cheese or Toppings: For an extra cheesy or flavorful experience, add additional cheese or your favorite toppings between layers of batter before cooking.
Notes
- Use a good quality waffle maker for best results.
- Cheddar provides a sharper flavor while mozzarella yields a milder taste.
- Allow chaffles to cool slightly before handling to avoid breaking.
- Customize with herbs or spices to taste.
