Chaffles for Keto

Chaffles became all the craze about a year and half ago (or at least that is when I became aware of them). Everyone doing keto on Instagram and TikTok were making them.

I got on the chaffle train when I made this Shrimp and Avocado Chaffle Sandwich and everyone in my home absolutely loved it! I've been making chaffles since but until I made these Buffalo Chicken Chaffles, I hadn't felt the urge to blog it.

However, this chaffle recipe is the absolute bomb. I am a huge buffalo flavor fan and when I decided to toss some chopped chicken and hot sauce into the chaffle batter I realized it was a keeper recipe!

Now, when I don't have time to make Air Fryer Chicken Wings, I can grab the waffle iron and make this chaffle recipe!

Cooked chicken, I like to make my own Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken, but you can buy one or you can just use leftover cooked chicken breasts or canned chicken.

Large eggs

Part-skim mozzarella cheese, this is the best bet as there is a tiny bit of starch in the cheese shreds to prevent it from sticking. Don't worry, there isn't enough of it to make a difference on the keto diet.

Hot sauce, you can use your favorite. I love to use this hot sauce.

Blue cheese crumbles

Fresh cilantro (optional)

🍽 Equipment

I use this mini waffle maker. It is super affordable and fun!

🔪 Instructions

Step 1:

1. Whisk the egg in a small mixing bowl until well combined.
2. Stir in the chicken, mozzarella cheese, and hot sauce.

Step 2:

1. Transfer ½ of the mixture to the mini waffle iron.Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until chaffle is golden. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.

Step 3:

1. To serve, sprinkle each chaffle with ½ tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese and ½ tablespoon of cilantro.

💭 Top Tips

• Resist the temptation to lift the waffle iron lid before the light goes off. The batter will pull apart if you do so. (ask me how I know!)
• Sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on the bottom of the waffle maker before the batter is added. This will make it a little more crispy on the outside.
• When adding the batter to the waffle iron, be careful to not overfill it. Doing so will cause the batter to push out of the waffle iron as it cooks.
• This recipe makes 2 waffles. Divide the batter evenly in half and spread it around some with the fork to have it fill the entire circle.

📖 Variations

• Substitute a sugar free sweet chili sauce for the buffalo sauce.
• Use shredded monterey jack cheese instead of mozzarella.
• Make a sandwich with the chaffles and add lettuce and blue cheese dressing.
