Can I have waffles on a low-carb diet?

Yes! Traditional waffles are full of flour and sugar, but chaffles skip both. They’re low in carbs and high in protein, which makes them great for low-carb or keto diets.

What is a chaffle made of?

A chaffle is made from just two ingredients: cheese and egg. That’s it. From there, you can customize it any way you like.

Can you eat waffles and eggs together?

Absolutely. In fact, chaffles are made with eggs, so it’s like having your waffle and breakfast protein all in one. Add extra eggs on the side if you want.

How do you make a chaffle with egg and cheese?

Just whisk one egg with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Pour it into a hot waffle iron and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden and firm. That’s your basic chaffle.
