Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (200 g / 7.1 oz) raw cauliflower crumbs (riced)
  • 2 cups (226 g / 8 oz) grated low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp (6 g / 0.21 oz) garlic powder
  • 2 tsp (6 g / 0.21 oz) onion powder
  • 1 tsp (2 g / 0.07 oz) freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (8 g / 0.28 oz) freshly chopped chives
  • Salt to taste
  • Butter or non-stick spray for greasing
  • For the crispiest results, squeeze excess moisture from the cauliflower crumbs using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel before mixing.
  • These chaffles freeze wonderfully. Place cooled chaffles in a freezer bag with parchment paper between each one. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or air fryer.
  • For a sweet and salty twist, serve with a drizzle of sugar-free maple or elderberry syrup.

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower crumbs, mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chopped chives.
  2. Stir until all are thoroughly mixed into a uniform batter.
  3. Season with salt to your preference.
  4. Preheat your waffle maker or a non-stick griddle over medium heat.
  5. Grease it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  6. Pour approximately ½ cup of the batter onto the hot waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. If using a griddle, pour the batter to form small pancakes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  8. Carefully remove the chaffle or pancake from the heat and let it cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
  9. Serve immediately.
  10. Do not overfill your waffle maker. The batter will expand as it cooks, and overfilling can cause it to spill out.
