Instructions

1. Preheat Your Waffle Maker. Plug in your mini waffle maker so it can heat up while you prepare the batter. Most mini makers have an indicator light to let you know when they’re ready.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients. In your small mixing bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly with a fork. Add the peanut butter to the beaten egg and mix until the peanut butter is mostly incorporated (a few small lumps are okay).

3. Add Dry Ingredients. To the bowl with the egg and peanut butter, add the shredded mozzarella cheese, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, keto-friendly sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

4. Mix Until Combined. Stir all the ingredients together with your fork until you have a smooth, uniform batter. Make sure there are no dry pockets of cocoa powder or almond flour left at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be relatively thin, similar to a standard waffle batter.

5. Grease the Waffle Maker (If Needed). Once your waffle maker is hot, give the plates a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little melted butter or coconut oil. This ensures the chaffles release perfectly.

6. Pour the Batter. Pour about half of the batter (or a quarter, depending on the size of your mini waffle maker) onto the center of the hot waffle plate. Be careful not to overfill, as the batter will spread when you close the lid. For a standard mini waffle maker, half the recipe is usually the perfect amount for one chaffle.

7. Cook the Chaffle. Close the lid and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the steam subsides and the chaffle is set and crisp around the edges. The exact time will depend on your specific waffle maker. If you like a crispier chaffle, let it cook for an extra 30-60 seconds.

8. Carefully Remove. Use a fork or a small silicone spatula to gently lift the cooked chaffle off the plate. It should come off easily. Place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. This helps maintain its crispiness.

9. Repeat with Remaining Batter. Pour the remaining batter into the hot, greased waffle maker and cook the second chaffle.

10. Serve and Enjoy! Serve the warm chaffles immediately with your favorite toppings. A drizzle of warm peanut butter and a sprinkle of cacao nibs is a heavenly combination.

Tips for the Perfect Chaffle

• Don’t Skip the Cheese: It might sound strange in a dessert, but the finely shredded mozzarella melts into the batter, providing the perfect structure and crispiness without any cheesy taste. It’s the secret ingredient!

• Finely Shredded Cheese is Key: Pre-shredded cheese often contains starches that can affect the texture. For the best results, buy a block of mozzarella and shred it yourself on the small holes of a box grater.

• Don’t Overfill: A little batter goes a long way in a mini waffle maker. Too much will cause it to overflow and make a mess.

• Let it Crisp: For the best texture, let the chaffle sit on a wire rack for a minute or two after cooking. If you stack them immediately, the steam will make them soft.

Storage and Reheating

• Storage: Let any leftover chaffles cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• Reheating: The best way to reheat a chaffle and bring back its crispiness is in a toaster, an air fryer, or back in the waffle maker for a minute or two. Microwaving is not recommended as it will make them rubbery.

• Freezing: These chaffles freeze beautifully. Place the cooled chaffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or air fryer.
