Ingredients
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup / 115 g shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
• 2 teaspoons coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Swerve sweetener or your preferred keto sweetener
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened or keto-friendly chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Directions
2. Preheat your mini waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s until the indicator light shows it’s ready.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour, Swerve sweetener, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
4. Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Pour approximately one-fourth of the batter (about ¼ cup) onto the hot waffle iron. Sprinkle ½ tablespoon of chocolate chips over the batter.
6. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown, crispy, and steam is no longer coming from the iron.
7. Carefully remove the chaffle with a silicone spatula and let it cool on a wire rack for a minute or two. This step is key for maximum crispiness!
8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and chocolate chips. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream or your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

Pro Tips
• for Perfect Chaffles
• For the absolute crispiest chaffles, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This allows air to circulate and prevents them from getting soggy.
• Use pre-shredded, low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella. It contains anti-caking agents that help create a sturdier, less greasy chaffle.
• Make a big batch and freeze them! Place cooled chaffles between layers of parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat them directly from frozen in a toaster or air fryer for a quick and easy snack.
FAQ
Q: Why are my chaffles not crispy
A: For the crispiest chaffles, ensure you cook them until steam is no longer coming from the waffle iron (4-6 minutes). Also, letting them cool for a minute or two on a wire rack is a key step that allows air to circulate and prevents them from getting soggy.
Q: Can I use a different cheese for these chaffles
A: This recipe specifically recommends pre-shredded, low-moisture mozzarella because it creates a sturdier and less greasy chaffle. While you can experiment with other cheeses, it may change the final texture and flavor.
Q: How do I store and reheat leftover chocolate chip chaffles
A: You can freeze cooled chaffles by placing them between layers of parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat them directly from the freezer in a toaster or air fryer for a quick and crispy snack.
Q: Can I make this recipe in a regular-sized waffle maker
A: Yes, you can use a standard waffle maker. This batter will likely make one to two larger chaffles. You may need to adjust the cooking time, so cook until the chaffle is golden brown and steam is no longer visible.
