Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your waffle maker and spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Cook First Chaffle: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker and spread it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Close and Cook: Close the waffle maker lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the chaffle turns 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.
- Optional Extras: For an extra cheesy experience, you can add more cheese or other toppings between layers before cooking to customize your chaffles.
Notes
- Use cheddar for a sharper flavor or mozzarella for a milder taste and stretchier texture.
- Ensure the waffle maker is hot before adding batter for the best crispiness.
- Almond flour keeps the chaffle low-carb and gluten-free.
- Watch closely near the end of cooking to avoid burning.
- Chaffles can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the toaster or oven for convenience.
