Chaffle Recipes

This is the post you’ve been waiting for: how to make chaffles! This comprehensive guide shares all of the details on what they are, why everyone is obsessed, and the best chaffle recipe. I’ve also included four additional flavors of these keto chaffles — both savory and sweet — plus all my tricks and tips I’ve learned along the way.

I found out about the concept of chaffle recipes from my Facebook support group and several long Reddit threads. They’ve taken the keto world by storm! (FYI: I’ve also heard some people refer to them as “okie eggos”.)

The original formula I saw in there was 1/2 cup cheese + 1 egg, which I tried. It was good, but it was a bit too eggy for me, so I made some variations on the original recipe that I think make a far superior, best chaffle recipe ever!

Cheese + waffles = chaffles! Fun, right? The chaffle recipes I saw originally were made from just cheese and eggs, but I found these to be a bit too eggy. Instead, making chaffles with almond flour and psyllium husk powder (in addition to the eggs and cheese) makes this low carb waffle taste much more like a traditional waffle — so much so that my husband could hardly believe they were keto!

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for chaffle recipes, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
