Free Printable: Low Carb & Keto Food List
Get It NowThis is the post you’ve been waiting for… my complete guide to chaffles! I’m spilling all of the details: what they are, why everyone is obsessed, and my best chaffle recipes. This includes the basic chaffle recipe I always seem to come back to, plus four additional flavors — both savory and sweet. I’ll also tell you about all my tricks and tips I’ve learned along the way!
I found out about the concept of chaffles from my Facebook support group and several long forum threads many years ago. They’ve taken the keto world by storm! (FYI: I’ve also heard some people refer to them as “okie eggos”.)
What Is A Chaffle?
Cheese + waffles = chaffles! Fun, right? The chaffle recipes I saw originally were made from just cheese and eggs, but I found these to be a bit too eggy. Instead, making them with almond flour and psyllium husk powder (in addition to the eggs and cheese) makes this low carb waffle taste much more like a regular one — so much so that my husband and kids could hardly believe they were keto!
Why You’ll Love My Chaffle Recipe
- Not eggy at all – The original formula I saw on forums was 1/2 cup cheese + 1 egg, which was good, but too eggy for me. So, I made some tweaks that I think make a far superior, best chaffle recipe without that eggy taste!
- Perfect waffle texture – Crispy on the outside? Check! Chewy on the inside? Check! I do enjoy my almond flour waffles, coconut flour waffles, and protein waffles, but this is the waffle I make the most.
- Quick and easy – These use simple ingredients and are ready in just a few minutes.
- Low carb, gluten-free, and keto friendly – Just 2g net carbs each!
- Different flavors – I’ve made 5 different chaffle recipes to choose from, so you can decide if you’re in the mood for savory or sweet.
- Great for meal prep – Make a big batch on the weekend and freeze for nearly instant satisfaction whenever you feel like it.
Ingredients & Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for chaffles, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
2 Ingredient Chaffle:
This is the original chaffle recipe, with just eggs and cheese. Like I said, I think this tastes a little eggy, but is the simplest version.
- Shredded Cheese – Any kind will work. Mozzarella is used most often because it has the most neutral flavor, so it’s particularly great for neutral or sweet flavors. For savory versions, any other cheese from the keto cheese list (cheddar is common) will work great. Some chaffle recipes (such as the pumpkin and jalapeno popper versions below) also have cream cheese added, but I recommend this only in addition to shredded cheese, not instead of it, because the shredded cheese is what creates the crispy texture.
- Eggs – The ratio is one large egg for every 1/2 cup cheese.
CHEESE TIP: For a more uniform in texture, use finely shredded cheese instead of regular.
I usually have regular on hand, so that’s what I used and it was still delicious!
The Best Basic Chaffle:
To step up your chaffle recipe to taste more like a traditional waffle, this is the one to make! It’s similar to what people sometimes call a “wonder bread chaffle”. The taste is very neutral, not sweet or savory, and bread-like, making them great for sandwiches.
- Eggs & Cheese – The same as the 2 ingredient version above.
- Almond Flour – Only 2 tablespoons, but this addition makes them taste so much more like real waffles! Be sure your flour is blanched and super finely ground for the best texture; Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour is the one I always use.
- Psyllium Husk Powder – Adding just 1/2 a teaspoon makes your chaffles more chewy. Golden flaxseed meal is also fine to substitute.
- Baking Powder – Helps make the result less dense. Make sure to use baking powder, not baking soda, or you’ll get a terrible aftertaste.
Common Substitutions:
These are pretty forgiving with substituting ingredients. Here are some options I’ve tested:
- Eggs – If you can’t have eggs, you can substitute a flax egg in any chaffle recipe. I have not tested other egg substitutes, but let me know if you find a different one that works for you.
- Cheese – Vegan cheese substitutes should work in place of shredded cheese or cream cheese. Check labels to make sure that the carb count is still low.
- Almond Flour – This is not required for all versions, but my basic one does use it to improve texture. You can substitute coconut flour in place of the almond flour, but the amount will NOT be the same. Use 1 teaspoon of coconut flour to replace each tablespoon of almond flour in any chaffle recipe, or vice versa.
How To Make Chaffles
This section shows step-by-step photos together with the instructions, to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Preheat. You want your waffle iron hot, so that when the batter hits the surface, it starts cooking right away and makes a crisp exterior. You can gather your ingredients while it preheats.
- Mix. Stir or whisk together all your chaffle ingredients to make the batter. You can make the basic version above, or see my flavor options below! (As always, amounts are on the recipe card at the bottom.)
- Cook. Scoop the batter into the waffle maker to cover the surface well. Cook until browned and crispy. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Flavor Variations
Once you know how to make chaffles the basic way, it’s really easy to experiment and change them up! Here are some of my favorite flavors:
- Garlic Parmesan – Mozzarella, parmesan, egg, minced garlic (or garlic powder), Italian seasoning, and baking powder. These are like garlic bread in waffle form. I like topping them with extra melted mozzarella, grated parmesan, and a touch of parsley.
- Cinnamon Sugar (Churro) – Mozzarella, egg, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, butter, Besti, cinnamon, and vanilla. Who doesn’t love churros?! You can eat these whole, or for a more churro-like experience, cut them into sticks.
- Pumpkin – Cream cheese, mozzarella, egg, Besti, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and vanilla. I like to use homemade pumpkin pie spice for these, but store bought works as well. A dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some keto maple syrup makes them just perfect.
- Jalapeno Popper – Cream cheese, cheddar, egg, baking powder, bacon bits, and jalapenos. Many of my readers have asked me for spicy chaffles, so I made these jalapeno popper flavored ones! Melted cheddar, bacon bits, and a couple jalapeno slices make the perfect topping.
- Pizza Chaffles – These are based on my basic chaffle recipe, with added seasonings and pizza toppings (I love marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni).
- Chocolate Chaffle – A sweet cream cheese center sandwiched between two chocolate waffles… they remind me of Oreos! If you prefer chocolate chip instead of all chocolate, make the cinnamon sugar recipe, but omit the cinnamon and add a couple tablespoons of sugar-free chocolate chips.
Recipe Tips And Tricks
- Batter contains cream cheese? Melt it first. My basic chaffle recipe doesn’t include cream cheese, but the sweet chaffles and the savory jalapeno popper ones do. This step just ensures that we can stir it into the batter. You can melt the cream cheese in a small bowl in the microwave or a double boiler. It doesn’t need to be piping hot, just warm so that you can stir it.
- Batter contains coconut flour? Let it sit for a few minutes. This will allow it to thicken to the right consistency before cooking.
- Extra sensitive to eggy flavor? Use egg whites only. I don’t find this necessary, but you can replace the egg with 1 1/2 egg whites (about 3-4 tablespoons) in any of my chaffle recipes.
- Want extra crunch? Sprinkle cheese in the waffle maker. Simply add a little bit before adding the batter, then add more on top before closing the waffle maker. This works best for savory chaffles. I don’t recommend it for sweet ones, because cheese that’s not mixed into the batter will make them too salty.
- Your chaffle is done when steam is no longer coming out the sides. Some waffle makers also have a light that will tell you it’s done, but it’s not always perfect. If you have trouble removing your waffle, most likely it needs to cook for a bit longer.
- Cool slightly to crisp up and get more sturdy. Once the waffles cool from hot to just warm, any eggy taste diminishes and they get more crispy. The sweet chaffles in particular tend to be more fragile, so letting them cool in the (open) waffle maker for a bit can also help you remove them more easily.
- Crisp more using other methods if you like. If you want them extra hot or even more crispy after cooling, you can quickly fry them on the stove top, or pop them in the air fryer, toaster, or oven afterward.
Chaffle Maker Options
I own two types of waffle makers and tested this chaffle recipe in both, as well as using the batter without a waffle maker altogether. Here are your main options and how much batter to put in each:
- Dash Mini Waffle Maker – This mini waffle maker works great for 4-inch sandwich rounds, plus it makes a good serving size overall. I used it for all the ones pictured in this post, and I actually own two of them so that I can make more at once. Use 1/4 cup of batter per chaffle.
- Belgian Waffle Maker – The classic waffle iron size will work well for the flavored varieties, as the recipes have a bit more batter than the basic one. I recommend cutting them into quarters, as the large size is way too filling whole. Use 1/2 to 2/3 cup of batter per chaffle. A standard-sized waffle maker should also work fine, but you may need to adjust the amount of batter.
- Without A Waffle Maker – If you don’t have a waffle maker at all, you can cook this batter the same way you would keto pancakes! You won’t get the crunchy ridges, but they will still be delicious. Once you’ve mixed your batter, spread it onto a greased, hot nonstick pan over medium heat. (It’s typically too thick to pour.) Use 2 tablespoons of batter for small pancakes, or 1/4 cup for large ones. Cook until golden brown, then carefully flip and repeat on the other side.
Nutrition Info & Carb Count
The calories and carbs in chaffles will vary depending on which flavor you make. The chart below shows the nutrition info for all the different versions I made in this post.
Flavor | Calories | Net Carbs | Fat | Protein |
---|---|---|---|---|
Basic chaffle | 208 | 2g | 16g | 11g |
Garlic parmesan | 182 | 2g | 11g | 16g |
Cinnamon sugar | 179 | 2g | 14g | 10g |
Pumpkin | 117 | 3g | 7g | 7g |
Jalapeno popper | 231 | 2g | 18g | 13g |
TIP: The nutrition info listed above is always for 1 chaffle (for easy scaling), but sometimes you could have two, such as for a sandwich or full meal.
The basic and garlic parmesan chaffle recipes make 2 mini waffles each. The cinnamon sugar (churro), pumpkin, and spicy jalapeno popper recipes make 3 each.
Storage Instructions
- Store: Once you’ve let your waffles cool, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Chaffles keep in the freezer for up to 6 months, so I love to meal prep them and keep a stash in my freezer at all times! They reheat beautifully, straight from frozen.
- Reheat: You can reheat these in the toaster, toaster oven, skillet, or conventional oven at 350 degrees F. I prefer the toaster, which is the fastest and easiest, and gets them crispy. Avoid the microwave, as the result is too soft, though my daughter likes them this way.
FYI: Chaffle recipes that contain only egg and cheese, without any almond or coconut flour, will be a bit less sturdy in the toaster.
If they are too floppy for the toaster, you can try the oven instead.
Serving Ideas
Like keto bread, chaffles are kind of like a blank canvas, because you can do so many things with them. They are even better with toppings or as sandwiches! The way you serve them partly depends on the flavor. Here are some ideas:
- Make a chaffle sandwich using the basic chaffle recipe. I often go for turkey, mayo, lettuce, and tomato, shown below. They are also delicious to have as a breakfast sandwich with oven baked bacon, egg, and cheese. Or use them as a bun for a juicy burger. If you want your sandwich to be reminiscent of a bagel and don’t want the effort of making keto bagels, add some everything bagel seasoning to the basic batter instead.
- Drizzle with syrup or spread with jam. Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup or my recipe for sugar-free chia jam are both delicious on sweet chaffles! A dollop of sugar-free whipped cream also tastes great.
- Add melted cheese and toppings. For savory chaffles, like garlic Parmesan or jalapeno popper, I like to melt some extra cheese on top and sprinkle with garnishes.
- Cut cinnamon churro waffles into sticks and serve in a little basket like this. So cute! Sometimes I dip them in sugar-free chocolate syrup.

Spicy Jalapeno Popper Chaffles:
Instructions
Tap on the times in the instructions below to start a kitchen timer while you cook.
Instructions:
-
Preheat your mini waffle iron for about 5 minutes, until hot.
-
If the recipe contains cream cheese, place it into a bowl first. Heat it gently in the microwave (~15-30 seconds) or a double boiler, until it’s soft and easy to stir.
-
Stir together all the chaffle batter ingredients (everything except toppings, if any), including the cream cheese from the previous step if the version you are making has it.
-
Scoop enough of the chaffle batter into the waffle maker to cover the surface well. (That's about 1/2 cup batter for a regular waffle maker and 1/4 cup for a mini waffle maker.)
-
Cook until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. (See my tip in the post above about other ways to tell they are done without opening the waffle maker!)
-
Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker and set aside to crisp up more. (Cooling is important for texture!) Repeat with remaining batter, if any.
Special instruction for churro chaffles only:
-
Stir together Besti and cinnamon for topping. After the chaffles are cooked and no longer hot, brush them with melted butter, then sprinkle all over with the cinnamon "sugar" topping (or dip into the topping).

0I have a question about the almond flour. My bag of almond flour says 2 Tbsp = 14g. When I switch to metric in your recipe the amound of almond flour goes from 2 Tbsp to 29.57 g. Based on the measurement on my bag that would be 4 Tbsp not 2. Which one did you intend for the recipe – 2 Tbsp or 4 Tbsp? I’ve been using 14g for the recipe with no issues. My kids LOVE this recipe!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Mary, The weight will change depending on the brand of almond flour and how finely ground it is. I would use 2 tbsp according to the weight listed on your bag of almond flour, as it is obviously a different grind from the almond flour I used.
Brenda
0I loved the original Chaffle recipe and had already added Swerve sugar and cinnamon to it. What I really love is the mini waffle maker. It is perfect and fast. Clean up is fast and easy. I am slowly building my own book of favorite recipes and this site is chock full of great ideas. Thank you so much for helping me with my new lifestyle.
Sue H
0Chaffles really help me stick with keto when the bread cravings kick in. This recipe is my favorite… It’s got more of a bread consistency than the typical chaffles recipes. I’m not a fan of most commercial keto breads on the market so this quick and easy recipe is a lifesaver for me.
Susan
0For my first Chaffle ever, I used your garlic cheese variation. It was amazing!!! So very flavorful ❤️
Wendy
0To make a Chaffee can you use cream cheese and then leave the shredded cheese out? Or do you still need both? Thank you for your help!!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Wendy, The mozzarella provides the structure and texture for this recipe, it won’t work with cream cheese.
Judy Brown
0Oh My Goodness!
I’ve been waiting for my mini waffle iron to get here…It finally got here and the FIRST Chaffle recipe I tried was the Chirro Chaffle.
My keto life has been transformed! I’ve been craving something sweet and this fit the bill.
I didn’t have regular erythritol, but substituted it with brown sugar erythritol. This took the Chaffle to a whole new level!
I can’t wait to try the other 4 variations.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
YUMMY!
Mrs Mitchell
0I am a bariatric surgery patient, it was suggested I use a chaffle as a pizza crust. I wonder what would happen to the texture of this if I put pizza toppings on it and heated in an air fryer? I think the garlic one would be so good as a low carb pizza crust!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Mrs. Mitchell, An air fryer makes chaffle pizzas nice and crispy! I recommend giving it a try, but keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn. This can happen quickly in an air fryer.
Tracey
0Oh my goodness, I had never heard of a Chaffle before beginning Keto…what an amazing, & scrumptious bundle of yumminess!! I made the Cinnamon recipe & it turned out perfectly! I didn’t read the nutrition stats until after I had devoured the entire recipe all by myself thinking it was ‘a’ serving… but no regrets, I enjoyed every.single.bite…with coconut whipped cream on top!! Thanks for this awesome recipe…definitely a repeat!
Kasi Taylor
0I made the cinnamon churro chaffles for my 10 year old and me in my Belgian waffle maker. Soooo delicious! I got really full. I will definitely make these again. Thank you
Lisa Deshaies
0I would like to know how to substitute all forms of flour. I cannot tolerate any, what can I use in place of flour?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lisa, This recipe will still work without using the almond flour or psyllium husk, but they will be less bread-like. The post above explains why we added these for an improved texture.
Tammy
0Oh my gosh! I got my Dash and psyllium husks yesterday. Chaffles are a keto life changer for me! They opened a world of possibilities for me. Thank you so much for this.
Laureen C Viets
0I very much appreciate all the chaffle tips and advice; am expecting a cast iron Stuffed Waffle iron for my induction cooktop any day now. It makes 5″ stuffable waffles that I’m hoping I can adapt to chaffle recipes. The seller says that chaffle batters are typically too thin to be contained by this model (the cast aluminum version, though, works well). I think my chaffle batters may be made thicker with the addition of psyllium powders and almond flour, as you so grandly suggested. Might be a deal-maker. So THANKS. 10 stars for the advice!
Fran
0My Dash arrived today and I’m getting ready to make my first batch, and I thought I saw somewhere to spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray, but now I don’t see that. Spray or no spray? Thanks so much…I love your recipes and am thinking this will be no exception!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Fran, A light spray of non-stick will help with the removal of your cooked chaffles. Enjoy!
Katie
0Just made the churro chaffles and they were incredibly good!! Can’t wait to try the rest!!!
Michelle
0Do one recipe makes 2 so I need to double the calories shown ex 182 =384 for a sandwich. ??? Ty lots of calories
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Michelle, Yes, you will need to double the nutrition if you eat two. Enjoy!
Christine Marshall
0Absolutely love this basic chaffle recipe. Can’t wait to try the others.
Michelle Corkhill
0So easy and tasty. Absolute game changer.
Mindy
0What a great option for new ways to eat a burger or sandwich! My daughter moved and forgot her Dash mini waffle maker! I lucked out!! Thanks for your tips!
Sue Pater
0We made the jalapeno popper ones and OMG they were GREAT!! We’re anxious to try the other versions!! So easy and delicious!! Going to make my speghetti sauce to have with the garlic “bread”chaffles!! Thank YOU!!
Vicke Birney
0These are great! Love them, and it is my favorite hamburger bun!
Darla
0Chaffles are super easy and amazing. I make a double/ triple batch. Keep them in the fridge. Pop them in the toaster and enjoy. I always food prep on Sunday for the week ahead, and chaffles are my go to breakfast.
Kim
0I make a bunch of the basic at one time and freeze. I’m low on time this go round. Can I do a loaf of just cheese & egg mixture without almond flour? Or if needed I do have coconut flour. I may try for the heck of it and see what happens, but thought I’d ask.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kim, The recipe will work with just cheese and egg, but they will have a different final texture. The chaffles are sturdier with almond flour.
Mickie
0These are delicious!!!! I did the cinnamon waffles and used sugar free syrup on top, but I also want to try fresh raspberries, etc. Really satisfied the craving for waffles and or something sweet on Keto. I will be trying all of these! Thanks for the amazing recipe, I will be using this a lot!!
Renee
0Come on!!! These are to die for!! I have made all but the jalapeño chaffle. Can’t seem to decide which is my favourite between the cinnamon churro and the pumpkin. Not going to lie, I’ve actually had them for breakfast also. This is the first recipe that I have tried from Wholesome Yum and have since bought recipe book. Does not disappoint!!!
Diana
0You can also make some whipped topping with a bit of powdered sweetener to to your sweet Chaffles.
I made some fried pickle chaffles just by pouring some of the mixture, placed about 5 slices round dill pickles and a touch more mixture on top. I even added a little sprinkle of cheese on top to make the outside crispier! Mmmm so good!
I also make onion ring chaffles same as above but used sliced onions (not too thick).
These two are game changers!!!
Sharon
0These basic Chaffles are my go to! Have tried many but for my bread fix, the basic recipe with various seasoning are The best! I love the texture produced by using the psyllium husk fiber. Thanks for this post!!
Dorcas Walters
0I’m new to keto but have been gluten free for a while and these were my first chaffles – they are SO scrumptious! I made cinnamon ones and don’t nor like the taste of stevia or erythritol but it isn’t strong and I felt like I was eating proper carb laden waffles. I’m going to make loads to put in the freezer.
Sam
0Have you ever tried making chaffles using Ricotta cheese? I just wondered if you or anyone reading this has… that way I don’t have to experiment!
Thx!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sam, I have not experimented with ricotta in chaffles, but I think small amounts should work well in the recipes.
Judy Roach
0Do you use the 2T almond flour in the Garlic Parmesean chaffle? As written, it looks like no flour.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Judy, That is correct. The garlic parmesan chaffle doesn’t include any flour.
Pye
0I’ve been throwing in a tsp of cinnamon for each batch and they smell soooo good in the morning when I pop them in the toaster straight from the freezer! Butter while hot, and eat with sugar free syrup! I now make 6X recipe and they last me more than two weeks. Yum!
Kimberly M Tomich
0Would oat fiber work instead of psyllium husk powder? I don’t have psyllium husk powder on hand.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kimberly, I have not tested this recipe with oat fiber, so I don’t know if you will get the same texture that you would from psyllium. Please let us know how it turns out if you decide to give it a try!
Donna
0I have made the basic chaffles using almond flour and coconut flour. Prefer the coconut flour. The almond flour version tastes gritty to me. They’re great to use for making sandwiches. This was a great find!
Angela
0I so appreciate how easy it is to find the recipe and follow the recipe on your blog. I made the pumpkin and original Chaffee (ate all the original) today and put some of the pumpkin in the fridge for a snack later on. Wonderful! Going to make these tomorrow and I can’t wait. Thank you!
Zul AV
0Thank you very much. My eleven-year-old daughter and I had a lot of fun cooking original and garlic cheese chaffles. I wanted to freeze some … but all of them are gone!!
Virginia a Williams
0Yummy! I made the basic recipe. Came out as advertised, actually fluffier than I anticipated with the density of the dough.
Dawn
0First of all THANK YOU for this site. Chaffles are delicious! I have been making the plain ones and putting a smear of strawberry cream cheese on top. It satisfies my sweet craving without quitting!
Dominic Hodges
0I made some cinnamon chaffles tonight and ate them before logging them. Big mistake! 13g net carbs! Not happy.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Dominic, None of these chaffles have 13 grams net carbs. The nutrition info for each version is listed in the post above. The cinnamon chaffles have 2g net carbs each. Even if you made the whole batch, it would not be 2g net carbs. Double check if your calculator is not subtracting sugar alcohols or fiber, this would result in an inflated net carb count.
Dominic Hodges
0On April 26 you said using all the batter for one waffle was 6g carbs. I think you need to check and update the nutrition information. Vanilla extract is about 70% carbs and 30g of almond meal is 6.5g.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Dominic, Your almond flour carb count seems very high. 2 tbsp of almond flour (not almond meal) should be around 2 net carbs, if you’re using the almond flour I recommend. Also, the amount of vanilla extract (no sugar) used should equate .25 g carbs.
The carbs in the batter will vary depending on which flavor you make. The carb count per chaffle is listed in the post above for each flavor separately. The information comes from the USDA Food Database is reliable, if using the same ingredients and brands that I used. I can’t guarantee the same for every brand, just what I use.
I hope this helps.
Luke
0Love these!! Definitely going to be a game changer with our keto diet!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Katie Knop
0I made the churro chaffles and they were absolutely delicious! I used a mozzarella provolone shred blend, because it’s what I had, and it worked out really well. Can’t wait to make these again!
Alicia
0Made the churro chaffles. They were delicious. Can’t wait to try the other ones.
Deborah
0Tried the cinnamon ones today absolutely delicious. Hard to eat only one. Definitely will be making again.
Carri
0I got my waffle iron in the mail today and made my first chaffle. I made the cinnamon Churro version. They were CRISPY! Loved the texture. They were firm. But my only complaint was using cheese. Even with the sweetener, I could taste the salt from the cheese. And I really detest using my cheese up in a waffle. Can I use cream cheese instead?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Carri, Shredded cheese really is the heart of this recipe. Cream cheese won’t give you the same texture.
Linda
0For those who don’t like the salty taste of some cheeses, I sub ricotta. I usually use coconut flour and cook them in a Dash.
Andrew
0Made the basic chaffle and it came out nice a crispy like a real Belgian waffle. Then did the churro and it was soft and mushy. Still tasted good.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Andrew, Glad to hear you enjoyed them! These waffles take a few minutes to set up and harden because they are mostly cheese.
Amanda Stugart
0Hello, I am curious if I can substitute Xanthan Gum for Psyllium Powder? I cannot find any psyllium powder anywhere right now. Thanks so much.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Amanda, I’m sorry, that won’t work in this recipe.
Tamera
0Psyllium powder is nothing but Metamucil and can be found in the laxative isle. You don’t use that much to give you diarrhea but adds fiber
Sam
0Walmart sells plain psyllium powder in the laxative aisle.
Paul
0Just to warn you, look at the label. I used to buy it at walmart, last time I went, they had started adding sugar to the plain psyllium husk.
Steve
0So just made 2 versions of the basic, one with a 1/4 cup of maple syrup added (wife was craving a mcgriddle and she’s not doing keto) with bacon, egg and cheese and she loved it. If you’re doing keto, I’m sure a zero carb syrup would work just as well. Second version I added some everything bagel seasoning into the batter and spread with cream cheese after it cooked, it was sooo good and great for that bagel craving/fix, lol.
Debra
0They were great!!
Donna
0Amazing! And so easy!!
Bev Johnstone
0We just had the cinnamon churro chaffles and they are SO good!! The texture and taste were amazing. Crispy ouside and chewy inside. Didn’t even taste low carb at all. My husband loved them.
Lori
0Hi, I am making the Cinnamon Churro chaffle using a 7 inch round belgium waffle maker. How many net carbs for the entire 7 inch size?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lori, If you are using the whole amount of batter for one waffle, then the net carbs are 6g per full-sized waffle.
Alison
0Tried the basic great now about to give the pumpkin one a go. Yum.
Kristi
0I saw this recipe and I wanted to make it, but I don’t have mozzarella cheese. Is there any other cheese that I can use? Thanks so much!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kristi, Mild cheddar also works great for this recipe!
Veneise
0I tried the cinnamon churro recipe and was very happy with the flavour. I think next time I will omit the topping (a little too much for me). I found the texture to be a little tough but I am not sure if I cooked them too long or if I let them cool to long (troubleshooting tips welcome). Overall very happy with the recipe and will try some of the other flavors. Thanks Maya for the hard work and time you put into each of your recipes.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Veneise, If they were tough, they may have cooked your chaffle a little too long. If you like them softer, be sure to remove it before it gets too dark on the exterior.
Jessica
0Wondering about non-nut flour – my son is allergic to peanuts, treenuts, and coconuts. Have you tried anything else? Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Jessica, You can try sesame seed flour or sunflower seed meal for these.
