Ingredients
• 3 tablespoons frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons almond flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature

3. Add the eggs and shredded mozzarella to the dry . Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined, then gently fold in the frozen blueberries.
4. Pour approximately one-fifth of the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and steam is no longer escaping from the sides.
5. Carefully remove the cooked chaffle with a silicone spatula and place it on a wire rack to crisp up. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
6. Serve the chaffles warm, dusted with a little powdered Swerve sweetener if desired.

Pro Tips
• For the crispiest chaffles, let them cool on a wire rack for a minute or two after cooking. This prevents them from getting soggy from trapped steam.
• Use pre-shredded, low-moisture mozzarella cheese. Fresh mozzarella contains too much water and will result in a soggy texture.
• Don’t overfill the waffle maker. The batter will expand as it cooks, so a little less than you think you need is usually the perfect amount.
• Feel free to swap blueberries for other keto-friendly berries like raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different flavor profile.
FAQ
Q: How do I make my chaffles extra crispy
A: For the crispiest chaffles, use pre-shredded, low-moisture mozzarella cheese. After cooking, place the chaffle on a wire rack for a minute or two. This allows steam to escape and prevents the chaffle from becoming soggy.
Q: Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen
A: The recipe calls for frozen blueberries as they hold their shape better and release less water, ensuring a better texture. Using fresh blueberries may result in a soggier chaffle.
Q: Can I use a different type of berry in this recipe
A: Yes, you can easily substitute blueberries with other keto-friendly berries. Raspberries or chopped strawberries are excellent alternatives that work well in this chaffle recipe.
Q: Why is my chaffle batter portioned into five parts
A: This recipe is designed for a mini waffle iron. The batter makes approximately 5 mini chaffles, so dividing it into fifths ensures each chaffle is the perfect size and cooks through properly without overflowing the machine.
