What is a Chaffle?

If you’re already following a keto or low-carb diet, you’ve probably already heard of these infamous waffle substitutes made out of cheese and eggs.

Chaffles are a savory take on what would usually be a sweet and fluffy waffle drizzled with syrup. Instead, they’re a savory and flexible keto-friendly breakfast, made up of only a few ingredients you likely already have in your fridge and pantry. Add extra flavor by including your favorite ingredients, such as sausage, peppers, or green onions.

Let your imagination take control as you create your own version of these Easy Keto Bacon Chaffles!

Ingredients and toppings for easy keto bacon chaffles. Cheese, avocado, eggs, pickled onions, bacon, salmon, everything but the bagel seasoning.

The Savory Alternative to Sweet Waffles

I would never diss traditional waffles because they’re classic and absolutely delicious, but with dietary needs becoming more and more prevalent, less and less people are able to enjoy them. Covering all the bases as keto, low-carb, and gluten-free, Easy Keto Bacon Chaffles are a great mimic to regular waffles and are still chock-full of craving-crushing ingredients. A foolproof choice for a hearty meal, chaffles can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Helpful Tips For Making Easy Keto Bacon Chaffles

Instead of whisking the ingredients and dealing with a potential mess, save yourself time during prep and clean up by pulsing the ingredients in a blender before cooking. Add the eggs, cheese, baking powder, and almond flour to the blender for the first six to eight pulses. This will scramble the eggs without pulverizing the cheese. Then add your additions, such as meat or veggies, for the last two or three pulses.

If you don’t own a waffle iron, check out the one I own here. I love that it’s easy to use and a great price. While prepping the ingredients, pre-heat your iron. It should be hot enough to cook the Easy Keto Bacon Chaffle batter as soon as it touches. Cook each chaffle for 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

If you want to enjoy your breakfast hot and fresh off the iron, prep your toppings early. Chaffles are best served hot and gooey, so once they’re done cooking, top them with your favorite ingredients immediately. If serving your family or guests, place a variety of toppings in small or medium bowls so everyone can choose their favorites.

Serve Your Easy Keto Bacon Chaffles With…

My Easy Keto Bacon Chaffle recipe contains bacon and green onions as flavor enhancers. These would go perfectly with pickled onions, avocado, smoked salmon, and Everything But The Bagel seasoning. You could also make them extra savory by melting garlic butter on top and sprinkling with parmesan and dried parsley. Yum!

If you want to get extra creative, replace the bread on a breakfast sandwich with two chaffles. Fry up some extra bacon or sausage and throw in some eggs for an epic start to your day!

For an out-of-this-world meal, serve any of these savory breakfast options alongside the Easy Keto Bacon Chaffles:

  • Instant Pot Egg Bites Recipe (Starbucks Copycat)
  • One Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Breakfast
  • Low-Carb Breakfast Bowl

    Awesome recipe! I didn’t think it would be this good with no flour but I really enjoyed them. I added the pickled red onions from Lena’s recipes and a poached egg and they were perfection!

    I had always wanted to try this recipe but wasn’t sure if I could substitute for regular flour (almond allergy). This morning I decided to just to just go for it and they came out great! An excellent savory breakfast option and a fun way to incorporate salmon and capers!

    This recipe is so good. It saved my busy morning. I was running out of ideas since I make breakfast for husband and 19 years old son daily really early . It was a hit. I’m more of a savory type of girl anyway. Sweets make me nauseous early in the morning. This hit the spot. I’m so grateful for Lenas post. I had to ask her if the flour measurement was correct. Have you seen how much flour is in a box of waffle mix? I seriously was questioning the 1/2 of tbsp amount. But that’s all you need. Love it.

    My blender died. Any other suggestions for how to mix aside by hand?

      You can use a whisk and whisk the eggs first and then just add in the rest of the ingredients and use a fork to mash some of the cheese, it doesn’t have to be fully blended so you should be fine.
