Gingerbread Chaffle Recipe

What is a Chaffle?
Achaffleis the most amazing creation yet to come out in the keto world.
The consistency that comes from cheese and an egg along witth spice baked in a dash mini waffle maker or a regular sized waffle maker is perfect!
I knew that I could combine the flavors I love, with the ease of making a chaffle and and that it would hit the spot. I had a few not believe me in my house, but then they took one bite of this pumpkin chocolate chip chaffle and changed their minds. A few of them told me it tasted more like a cookie than a waffle. I am totally ok with that!
In a medium bowl add in the mozzarella cheese, almond flour, baking powder, eggs, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and swerve and mix well.
Add 1/4 of the keto Chaffle mix to the Dish Mini waffle maker at a time. Cook chaffle batter in the waffle maker for 4 minutes.
DO NOT open before the 4 minutes is up. It is VERY important that you do not open the waffle maker before the 4-minute mark. After that, you can open it to check it and make sure it is cooked all the way, but with these chaffles keeping the lid closed the whole time is VERY important.
When the first one is completely done cooking cook the next one.
Enjoy with some swerve confectioners sweetener or keto whipped cream on top.

Eating 1 chaffle is almost 50% of that recommended daily intake. For that reason, I definitely wouldn't refer to them as a health food, but they are not necessarily unhealthy, either. Both cheese and eggs are a great high-quality protein source, and cheese is a great source of calcium.
Add a pinch of cheese to the baby dash then pour half of your batter, adding another pinch of cheese. This is a little secret that I swear by to ensure that you get an extra crispy chaffle.
This Basic Keto Chaffle Recipe is a great staple to have for easy breakfasts and snacks! Just 1.4 net carbs, easy to freeze and reheat, and perfect for keto meal prep.
Chaffles are waffles made with cheese and eggs; its funny name is a combination of the words “cheese” and “waffle”. Without any sweeteners, they taste like your favorite grilled cheese sandwich but with the texture of a crispy, crunchy waffle.
Chaffles are meant to be on the smaller size so a small waffle iron, like the Dash mini waffle maker, works best, but you can also use a regular waffle maker or Belgian waffle iron, too.
Once you've let the chaffles cool, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. To reheat the chaffles place them in the toaster or you can microwave them for 30-60 seconds, or in the oven at 180/350 degrees. Serve chaffles hot or cold, but I personally prefer them hot.
A common question or complaint that we get about chaffles is “Why are my chaffles sticking to the waffle maker?” The reason why your chaffles are sticking to your waffle maker (or your Dash Mini Waffle Maker) is that you are not leaving them in the waffle maker long enough. Chaffles are basically cheese waffles.
Chaffles can be made up ahead of time, wrapped up tightly and stored in the refrigerator until use. Most especially like to do this if they are using these waffles as bread for sandwiches or burgers. To reheat the chaffle, put it in the toaster oven, oven or toaster and reheat to crisp up.
Keto Net Carb Diet. On the ketogenic diet, the "net carb" is the amount of carbs in a food minus the fiber and sugar alcohol. Fiber and sugar alcohol are subtracted because the body does not fully absorb them. The keto net carb diet limits daily carbohydrate consumption to 20-50 grams to induce ketosis.
The ketogenic diet typically reduces total carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams a day—less than the amount found in a medium plain bagel—and can be as low as 20 grams a day. Generally, popular ketogenic resources suggest an average of 70-80% fat from total daily calories, 5-10% carbohydrate, and 10-20% protein.
Eating more than 50 grams of carbs may disrupt ketosis.
With keto diets, however, carb restrictions vary from person to person. Some people can eat more and still stay in ketosis, whereas others may need to restrict their carb intake more in order to stay in ketosis.
You can reheat your chaffles by letting them thaw, and then toasting them in the toaster, or you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds.

Belgian waffles are usually thicker than their American counterparts. These Belgian beauties are made with a recipe that includes yeasted batter and crunchy pearl sugar. Belgian waffles have extra-deep pockets—the better for filling with butter, jam, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
You can, maybe a slice or two here and there, but you ideally don't want to be eating too much of it. This is because a keto diet involves eating minimal carbs; less than 50g a day. However, a slice of bread contains around 20g of carbs, which is quite a chunk of your daily carbohydrate allocation.
Also, avoid store-bought frozen waffles which contain white flour and preservatives. Once you start making healthy waffles at home, you'll never want to go back to store-bought. Last but not least, go easy on the serving size. Remember, waffles are an indulgence and not something you should be eating every day.
Some people choose to have five or six days on keto followed by a day or two off. Others will do keto for 10 to 12 days followed by three to four days off. Devine typically doesn't recommend taking more than two days off keto.
Unfortunately, many traditional breakfast foods—think pancakes, waffles, and cereal—are loaded with carbs and lacking in satiating nutrients like protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Eating these foods regularly may be filling you up with additional calories that aren't doing your body any favors.
