Gingerbread Chaffles Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is a chaffle made of? ›

Let's get specific! A chaffle is a low carb waffle that is primarily made up of mozzarella cheese and an egg. The original chaffle recipe calls for one egg and ½ cup cheese. However, there are many different variations floating around.

To store: Chaffles can be stored in the refrigerator, covered. They will keep well for up to 5 days. To freeze: Place leftover chaffles in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. Reheating: Simply pop them in a toaster oven or toaster until crispy.

They reheat beautifully, straight from frozen. Reheat: You can reheat these in the toaster, toaster oven, skillet, or conventional oven at 350 degrees F. I prefer the toaster, which is the fastest and easiest, and gets them crispy.

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.

While chaffles are made with different ingredients than traditional waffles, they are both made in the same machine. The most important feature to look for when buying a waffle maker for chaffles is nonstick plates or griddles.

Are Chaffles Healthy? Chaffles may be low in carbohydrates, but they are not low in calories, sodium, cholesterol, fat or saturated fat.

Serve chaffles hot or cold, but I personally prefer them hot. The recipe yields approximately 2 cheese waffles, it depends on your waffle iron size. If you are making these chaffles for more than one person, double or triple the ingredients.

The best way to reheat a chaffle is through a toaster or toaster oven. Toast it like you would a slice of bread until crisp and warm. If you don't own a toaster or toaster oven, you can also reheat in the oven! Preheat the oven to 350℉ and bake for 10 minutes, or until crispy and warm in the center.

Rather than using flour, chaffles use cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, and Colby jack to give the waffle its shape and texture. They're so popular on low-carb and keto lifestyles because they literally taste like a waffle – crunch and all.

The most simple definition of a chaffle is a low-carb waffle with cheese a the base ingredient. Rather than using flour, chaffles use cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, and Colby jack to give the waffle its shape and texture.

Why do my chaffles stick? ›

(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.
