Bread is a hard thing to give up, so whenever delicious recipes come along that gives you a taste and feel for bread, everyone's going to get excited - include me!
What Is The Difference Between A Waffle And A Chaffle?
A basic chaffle is made with egg and cheese. A waffle is traditionally flour based. Those following keto have adapted the basic waffle recipe using almond or coconut flour.
In many cases, the waffle and a chaffle will have similar ingredients so often, the terms are used interchangeably.

Pizza Chaffles
Super simple and extra cheesy. Very similar to my egg crust pizza only with cheese added into the crust. So good!!
Ingredients
- 1 basic chaffle using mozzarella and adding 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning to the batter
- 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce (if on a keto diet, make sure it is sugar-free)

Sloppy Joe Chaffles
Sloppy joes made in the slow cooker topped on a delicious classic chaffle is the BEST and very kid friendly!

- 1 serving slow cooker sloppy joes (this recipe is soooo good!)
- 1 serving dill pickle slaw

Instant Pot Brats On A Chaffle Bun
An easy way to cook bratwurst is in an InstantPot/pressure cooker - and it takes only a few minutes! Brats wrapped in a chaffle bun - Heaven!
Ingredients
- 5 basic chaffle recipe with cheddar cheese
- 1 16 oz pkg bratwurst (any flavor - regular, beer, jalapeno)
- 1 cup water or low carb beer
Directions
- Set bratwurst in Instant Pot, add 1 cup water or low carb beer, and secure lid. Select High pressure, 5 minutes cook time. Once cooking is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for approximately 7 to 8 minutes, then do a quick pressure release. Once the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Leave brats in the pot until chaffles are ready.
- This is optional, but you can pop the brats on the grill to get the nice grill marks and charbroil taste if you like!
- Make your basic chaffle according to the instructions above. Because these are wrapped around the brat like a bun you don't want these too crispy. They are done when they are slightly crispy outside, but still flexible. Serve wrapped in a warm chaffle. Top with favorite ingredients - sauerkraut, mustard, ketchup, mayo, etc. Serves 5
Tip: make your chaffles while brats are cooking. Keep them warm in the oven until ready for use.

Hello! I have a regular sized waffle maker. For the basic recipe should I double everything or just add another egg?
seekinggoodeats says
I have a regular waffle make too (about 6 to 8" in diameter). Use a full recipe for a regular waffle maker. Those that have the small one - 1/2 a recipe works in each. I will be sure to clarify in the post
Jill says
Hi, great recipes. I have a Dash pancake maker. Could I use that instead of a waffle maker? I don’t want to buy another appliance if what I have might do it. Thank you.
Kori says
Yes, you can! Obviously, it wouldn't have the same texture, but I don't think this will matter. Let me know what you think about it. 🙂
Mindy says
I think I’m missing something, it doesn’t give any other ingredients other then cheese and egg?!?!? Is this right, did I miss something?
Kori says
Nope, you're not missing anything - only egg and cheese 🙂
