Ellen's Chaffle Recipes

These chaffle recipes are my take on this popular keto treat. Chaffles is a combo word of cheese and waffles. Basically, you mix eggs and cheese with various additions and then cook the batter on a waffle maker like this one.

There are many different recipes online, and the goal of most of them seems to be creating a crispy chaffle. Mine are not crispy. I’ve gone for excellent flavor and a bread consistency so I can have sandwiches in a jiffy.

Note: Don’t skip the yeast and butter powder in these chaffle recipes, they really enhance the flavor of the finished chaffle.

Ellen's Basic Chaffle Recipes

These chaffles are really good with just about any sandwich filling. My favorite is a keto chaffle breakfast sandwich. I spread two of these chaffles with whipped cream cheese and Buitoni pesto, then add two cooked Smithfield sausage patties. Way better than fast food!

This chaffle recipe also makes a great ham sandwich, and they are good with tuna salad too.
