Ingredients
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 6 ½ tablespoons coconut butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 1 ⅔ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 ¼ tablespoons coconut flour
• ¼ cup / 20g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 ¼ tablespoons Swerve sweetener, or preferred keto sweetener
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1. Directions
2. Preheat your non-stick waffle iron to a medium or medium-high setting.
3. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two large bowls. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
4. To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the melted coconut butter, almond milk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
5. In a separate small bowl, combine the coconut flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and baking powder. Add this dry mixture to the egg yolk mixture and whisk until just combined.
6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter using a spatula. Mix until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the batter.
7. Pour one-fourth of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is firm and cooked through. It will have a cake-like texture.
8. Carefully remove the chaffle with a silicone spatula and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly and crisp up. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

Pro Tips
• for Perfect Chaffles
• For the crispiest results, let the chaffles rest on a wire cooling rack for a few minutes after cooking. This allows steam to escape and prevents them from becoming soggy.
• Do not overfill your waffle maker. The batter will expand as it cooks, so using slightly less than you think you need is often the perfect amount to prevent overflow.
• Elevate your chaffles by serving them with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, a handful of fresh raspberries, or a drizzle of keto-friendly chocolate sauce.
