Keto Carnivore Waffle - The Paffle Recipe - Ketofocus (2024)

FAQs

What is a keto waffle made of? ›

Almond flour: These keto waffles work best with a finely ground almond flour like Bob's Red Mill or Wellbee's. Protein powder: The addition of protein powder in this keto waffle recipe helps them rise a little better. Whey protein or whey protein isolate is your best bet for these waffles.

Chaffles are meant to be on the smaller size so a small waffle iron, like the Dash mini waffle maker, works best, but you can also use a regular waffle maker or Belgian waffle iron, too.

A common question or complaint that we get about chaffles is “Why are my chaffles sticking to the waffle maker?” The reason why your chaffles are sticking to your waffle maker (or your Dash Mini Waffle Maker) is that you are not leaving them in the waffle maker long enough. Chaffles are basically cheese waffles.

Are Chaffles Healthy? Chaffles may be low in carbohydrates, but they are not low in calories, sodium, cholesterol, fat or saturated fat. In order for the recipe to turn out, you need a to use a lot of cheese – 1 cup, in fact. Some recipe suggest more.

These cheese and egg waffles are truly made with just 2 ingredients, plus a little something extra for flavor. I bet you can guess what they are: Cheese: we like to use shredded cheddar cheese, but mozzarella or even shredded pepper jack would be delicious! Eggs: you'll need 3 eggs to help hold the chaffle together.

The Difference Between Belgian Waffles and Regular Waffles

Belgian waffles have extra-deep pockets—the better for filling with butter, jam, maple syrup, or whipped cream. They're sometimes made with egg whites to give them their signature crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside texture.

Can you have maple syrup on keto? Real maple syrup is not appropriate for those following a low carb or ketogenic diet. It contains 28g of carbs in a 2 tablespoon serving, and almost all of those carbs are sugars.

Pearl sugar substitute

Some other options that might work include: Demerara sugar: This type of sugar has larger crystals than granulated sugar, and while they're not quite as big as pearl sugar granules, they will add a pleasingly crunchy texture when sprinkled on top of your bakes.

Simply use the chaffle bread as you would with a regular piece of white or wheat bread. You can even toast them! They may be just not quite sturdy enough for a regular toaster, so I recommend using a toaster oven instead. You can even serve them as mini taco shells!

(To ensure chaffle doesn't stick, we recommend lightly brushing iron with oil, just before spooning batter onto iron.) STIR together chaffle ingredients. (Our chaffles were all tested with freshly shredded cheese, not pre-shredded.) SPOON batter onto lightly greased iron and close lid, cooking for around 5 minutes.

Should you spray a waffle iron before each waffle? ›

Nonstick waffle makers should only need a light coating of cooking oil before the first time they're used for the day (not before each waffle is made). It's better to use cooking oil either in a refillable spray bottle like a Misto or to brush it on with a pastry brush.

Not waiting until the iron heats up properly means your waffles will cook, but never achieve that satisfyingly crisp exterior. Overworking the batter will leave your waffles dense and chewy instead of light and airy. And stacking even the most perfect waffles will cause them to become soggy and limp in minutes.
