Best Keto Chaffle Recipe - What is the secret ingredient? (2024)

I might be late to the party but I wanted to create the best keto chaffle recipe. You wouldn’t expect anything less would you 🤣.

Why is it the “best” keto chaffle recipe?

So yes I have tasted quite a few chaffles since we got our chaffle maker. To be honest without a lot of seasoning I wasn’t really excited. So I began to experiment.

I actually have a few very early keto chaffle recipes in my very first Egg Fast eBook. Ones with jalapeño and goat cheese, or even sweet chaffle recipes too (they are pretty good).

This chaffle recipe includes one of of my favourite ingredients to use. Hemp seeds!

If you have followed me for a while you know I love to create recipes with hemp seeds. My Hemp Share Bread is popular enough to have its own postcode. But honestly I find hemp so nutritious and amazing in recipes that I reach for it more often than not with breads and baking.

So I rate this the best keto chaffle recipe because it is crispy, very low carb (around 0.5g per chaffle) but also has additional crispiness without the “oily” texture of other chaffles.

FAQs & Hot Tips

Okay so here are some questions I think you might ask. For the ones I have not covered I will add later.

  1. I don’t have a Chaffle Iron what do I do? Chafflles can be cooked in a waffle iron or just as “pancakes” in a saucepan. Cook over high heat where possible.
  2. Can chaffles be frozen? Yes they can. Store them in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in a ziplock bag.
  3. Can I leave out the hemp seeds? Yes you can. The mix will be oilier but yeah you can leave out the hemp seeds and even the cream cheese if you want.
  4. Can I use almond meal or whey protein isolate instead of hemp? Again… yes you can. Chaffles are pretty flexible.
  5. How can I make sweet keto chaffles? Simple. Add sweetener of choice (and to taste). Add any flavours such as vanilla, unsweetened cacao, extracts or flavoured collagen creamers or protein powder.
  6. What I can I top them with? Anything low carb. Like seriously. Bacon, avocado, egg, cheese, salad, berries. Your imagination is the only restricting factor here.

  • 2 (2) eggs

FOR A CRISPY CHAFFLE

  • Heat chaffle iron and spoon on 1 tablespoon of mixture into the centre of the iron. Spread just a little and close lid. Cook 1-2 minutes before lifting lid, otherwise the chaffle will tear apart. If you want crispy chaffles sprinkle the iron with the tiniest amount of mozzarella and parmesan, (trust me it does not have to be a lot) and then spoon mixture on, spread and press the lid down but open it back up immediately to sprinkle the top with a little extra cheese too. This method works awesome.
