Crunchy Chaffles!

Bring street food into your own kitchen with these crunchy chaffles!

Nearly everywhere you look on the internet, there is hundreds of recipes and blog posts on the game changer of keto: The Chaffle.


Typically, a combination of egg and cheese, cooked in a waffle maker and then the world is your oyster for fillings.


Taco Tuesday? Done. Chicken sandwich? Easy.


Every time we have chaffles for dinner, my partner without a doubt says:

"We should open a food truck."

And that's because when you're craving that street food, you know what I'm talking about, you just want greasy, carb loaded, meaty food, usually to cure that hangover!


Friends, this right here is your answer! You don't need that greasy burger, put down those McDonalds fries!


Get yourself a waffle iron and turn take aways into fake aways that you will love!


This recipe is basically the same as the other chaffle recipes out there, but with a slight variation.


Before I get onto that, I want to talk about the waffle iron.


Originally I bought a mini waffle iron, it was so cute! But it was a disaster - I couldn't get my quantities right, it would overflow everywhere and make a huge mess, and they just didn't crisp up!

We ended up buying a Breville No Mess Waffle Maker, and it was the best investment! They come with a moat around the waffle iron which also cooks - so any spills can still be eaten! It also has a browning dial so you can crisp up your chaffles! They retail around $240 but if you do a bit of hunting you can find them as low as $160.

For chaffles, we recommend turning that bad boy all the way to the highest setting!


Filling ideas:


So far we've tried a couple of different combos, but i'll list our faves so far below!

You could either cook two chaffles and slap them together or cook one chaffle and cut it in half, depends on how hungry you are, eh?


Loaded taco chaffle: 100% top of my list, brown mince, throw in some keto friendly spices with tomato, and load her up with the mince, sour cream, avocado, slaw, all your favourite toppings - it is awesome!


Breakfast bacon and egg chaffle: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on the bottom half of the chaffle, fry some bacon and an egg and place on top, coat with more mozzarella and grill for 15 mins, slap some mayo on the lid and a drizzle of keto friendly sweet chili sauce and enjoy!


Burgers: Turn your love for greasy burgers into chaffles! Just make the chaffles on a mini waffle maker or use half the recipe on a big waffle iron, then build your burger as you normally would!
