Chaffles

 Trying to find low-card alternatives, there is some buzz on the Internet right now about "chaffles" or cheese-waffles. They are almost zero carbs because they are made with just three ingredients that don't really contain carbs; cheese, egg, and almond flour. I was so surprised by the texture and just how GOOD they tasted. In the picture, you can see that I made myself a breakfast sandwich-type version. Calorie wise, if you eat both mini-chaffles in one sitting, depending on the type of cheese you use, you are looking at around 300-350 calories. The site I got the recipe from has variations for making all kinds of chaffles, such as chocolate, cinnamon roll, taco, and pizza! I am hoping to try more out.

While you can make this recipe in any kind of waffle iron you have, the mini chaffles are made in the Dash mini-waffle maker (4 inches).

Basic Chaffle

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup of cheese
• 1 Tablespoon Almond flour

• Heat up your Dash Mini Waffle Maker.
• In a small bowl mix the egg, and Cheese and almond flour.
• Pour half of the batter into your mini waffle maker and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then cook the rest of the batter to make a second chaffle.
• Let cool for 2-3 minutes to let chaffle set up and get crispy.

Pizza Variation-

I tried this a couple of times now and I really like it. Just add a sprinkle of Italian Seasoning and a few mini-pepperonis to the batter. Once cooked, place one slice of fast-melting white cheese between your chaffles (like provolone, mozzerella, etc.), along with some pizza sauce and a few more pepperonis and you have a fun chaffle pizza-sandwich treat!
