Ingredients
Scale
Chaffle Batter
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener (like erythritol or sugar)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker: Turn on your mini waffle maker and allow it to heat up while you prepare the batter, ensuring it reaches the ideal temperature for cooking.
- Mix the batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. Add shredded mozzarella, cocoa powder, almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir everything together until the batter is fully combined and uniform.
- Cook the chaffles: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the chaffle is firm and slightly crisp on the outside. Remove and set aside.
- Repeat the cooking process: Pour the remaining batter into the waffle maker and cook again for 3 to 4 minutes until both chaffles are ready.
- Cool and serve: Let the chaffles cool slightly before serving. For extra flavor, top them with whipped cream, fresh berries, or sugar-free syrup as desired.
Notes
- These chaffles are naturally low-carb and keto-friendly but can be sweetened to suit your preference.
- Mozzarella cheese provides structure and moisture without overpowering the chocolate flavor.
- For a richer chocolate experience, consider adding a few sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
- Ensure your waffle maker is well-preheated to achieve the perfect crispness.
