Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Plug in and preheat your mini waffle maker. Spray lightly with non-stick spray if required.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a fork.
Add shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
If using almond flour or Parmesan, stir it in now for a crispier texture.
Step 3: Cook the Chaffle
Once the waffle maker is hot, pour half of the mixture onto the center of the waffle iron.
Close the lid and cook for about 3–4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove and repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the chaffles warm on their own or topped with your favorite low-carb fixings.
Notes
Preheat Thoroughly – Ensure the waffle iron is hot before adding the batter.
Don’t Overload – Pour just enough batter to cover the center without spilling.
Let It Crisp – Leave the chaffle in a bit longer for extra crunch.
Cool Slightly – Let cool for 1–2 minutes to firm up before topping or stacking.
Freeze for Later – Make a batch and store in the freezer for quick meals.
