What is a chaffle?
A chaffle is a keto-friendly, low-carb, and gluten-free bread-like alternative made from a simple combination of eggs and cheese. It is incredibly easy to make with no prep time required, making it a convenient option for quick meals.
Chaffles are also highly versatile, allowing for endless variations and customization.
There are three main types of chaffles: basic chaffles, savory chaffles, and sweet chaffles, each offering a different texture and flavor profile to suit various preferences.
- Basic Chaffles – crunchy texture made with a base of shredded cheese mixed with eggs. These are best used for a keto and low-carb sandwich bun or bread alternative.
- Savory Chaffles – firmer chaffles are crafted using a combination of shredded cheddar cheese or Mozzarella cheese mixed with eggs. The chaffle batter is further enhanced with a variety of seasonings, including salt, bagel seasoning, peppers, garlic powder, garlic Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
- Sweet Chaffles – softwe chaffles are created using a delightful combination of cream cheese, coconut flour, eggs, and a sweetener. These ingredients form the base of the chaffle, and additional flavors like vanilla extract, syrup, chocolate, or cinnamon can be incorporated to enhance the taste.

Crispy chaffles offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The base chaffle has a satisfyingly crispy exterior with a rich cheesy taste, complemented by a subtle eggy flavor.
