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 🤣.
I am a bit of fuss pot when it comes to any keto bread recipes and I wanted to make sure my first keto chaffle recipe published was a good one. Trust me babe, you are going to have happy tummies with this recipe.
Why Is This The Best 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 my favourite ingredients to use. Hemp seeds!
If you have followed me for a while, you know I love using 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) and has additional crispiness without the “oily” texture of other chaffles.

This is far from a hard recipe to make. However, you will need a small waffle iron (a chaffle maker) to cook them.

Here are six unique ways to serve chaffles, with a low-carb twist that keeps things interesting and delicious:
Chaffle Canapés with Ranch Dip: Cut the chaffle into bite-sized squares and top each with a dollop of whipped cottage cheese ranch dip. Garnish with fresh herbs or a tiny slice of red pepper for added color and flavor—a great choice for gatherings!
Savory Breakfast Sandwich: Layer your chaffle with whipped cottage cheese, a slice of crispy bacon, and a sprinkle of paprika for a flavorful breakfast. If you’re making a few, try baking or air frying them to get a perfect crunch.
Mediterranean Mezze-Style Chaffle Bites: Cut your chaffle into quarters and top each piece with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, a sprinkle of feta, and a dash of olive oil. Add fresh basil or a drizzle of balsamic for a more Spanish-inspired take.
Low-Carb Dessert Waffle: Sweeten your chaffle batter with a touch of vanilla extract and cinnamon, then serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of sugar-free raspberry syrup. It’s perfect as a dessert or a low-carb snack with a hint of fruitiness.
Mini Chaffle Pizzas: Spread a little marinara sauce, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, and add toppings like pepperoni or olives. Bake or broil for a quick low-carb pizza chaffle with endless topping possibilities.
Spinach & Feta Chaffle “Spanakopita”: Mix chopped spinach and crumbled feta into your chaffle batter for a Greek-inspired flavor. Serve as small triangles with a side of Tzatziki, or even turn them into muffins for a perfect grab-and-go snack.
FAQs & Hot Tips
- 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.
- Can chaffles be frozen? Yes, they can. Store them in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in a ziplock bag.
- Can I leave out the hemp seeds? Yes, you can. The mix will be oilier but you can leave out the hemp seeds and even the cream cheese if you want.
- Can I use almond meal or whey protein isolate instead of hemp? Again… yes you can. Chaffles are pretty flexible.

Best Keto Chaffles Recipe

Receive our latest recipes.
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) shredded mozzarella
- 50 g (3.5 tbsp) cream cheese
- 2 (2) eggs
- 55 g (2 oz) hemp seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
FOR A CRISPY CHAFFLE
- Extra mozzarella – read method
- 1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) parmesan finely grated
Instructions
- Place mozzarella and cream cheese into a microwave safe bowl. Heat 2 minutes on high.
- Stir cheeses to combine then add egg, hemp and seasoning.
- 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.
- Season chaffles and serve as a meal or top with your a low carb spread, butter, or fried eggs.

The waffles are delicious but the method is a mess. I had to dump the goey clumps of cheese and the eggs into the food process to get them to mix. I did not need to spread the batter. You cook waffles of any sort until they stop steaming and that was perfect with these as well.
can chia be used instead of Egg, Yes I know this is for Egg Fast but I am NOT an egg person:) what would my swap be?
