Pro Tips
• For extra crispy chaffles, let them cool completely on a wire rack. You can reheat them in a toaster or air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
• Ensure your eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature. This helps them combine smoothly and prevents a lumpy batter.
• Don’t overfill your waffle maker! A little batter goes a long way, and overfilling will cause it to spill out the sides and cook unevenly.
• Add a tablespoon of your favorite keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or allulose) to the batter if you prefer a sweeter chaffle.
