Chaffles are essentially cheese waffles that only need TWO ingredients! They are low carb, keto and totally guilt-free. Make your breakfast easy, cheesy and totally delicious!
What Are Chaffles
Chaffles are waffles made out of cheese! They are low-carb and keto-friendly! You may be skeptical about the flavor, but when you use mozzarella cheese, they really are a great low-carb swap for waffles! They even taste great with traditional sweet waffle toppings like syrup. If you love a savory waffle, you also need to try our oatmeal cottage cheese waffles.
Chaffles have been around in our house for a while. We are a healthy-ish family and love a healthier twist on a classic whenever we get the chance. Well, this one can be eaten daily because it is totally guilt-free!

Chaffles are made out of eggs and cheese. All you need to do is whisk up the eggs and stir in the cheese to make the chaffle batter. Cook them in your waffle iron and the results are fluffy with a crunchy, cheesy exterior.
