😋 Why make this recipe
Chaffles are easy to make with a few simple ingredients. They are a healthy keto alternative to regular white sandwich bread. The combinations of flavors you can add to the batter are endless, as well as what you can put between two chaffles.
❓FAQ
Chaffles are a keto alternative to sandwich bread. They were named within the keto community because they were originally made with almond flour and cheese. They cooked on a mini waffle iron that was the size of a slice of bread. Hence, cheese and waffle equal chaffle. However, this recipe is a cheeseless chaffle, but you can sprinkle cheese on it if you prefer just before closing the lid.
Not all recipes for chaffles are keto. This recipe has egg, mayonnaise, and almond flour, so it is keto-friendly.
Many recipes use a whole egg, which gives an eggy taste to your chaffle bread. For this recipe, I suggest using 2 egg whites to give you a soft bread flavor.
You could also sprinkle a little cheddar cheese over the chaffle batter just before you close the lid to cook. This helps cut the egg flavor also.
🥘 Ingredients
Making white bread keto chaffle recipes only have a few simple ingredients usually found in your pantry.
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon water
🪄 Substitutions
Eggs: If you don't want to use eggs, you can make flax eggs. Stir together 1 tbsp ground flax seeds with 3 tbsp water and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken. Add in the recipe as you would an egg.
Cheese: You can use any shreddable cheese you like. I have not tried it, but shredded vegan cheese might be a good option also.
Flour: This recipe calls for almond flour. However, you could use coconut flour, 100 % whole wheat flour, or other favorite flour. The taste might be different, however.
🍽 Equipment
I use a Dash, which comes in several colors and is really easy to clean. I like the light on top that lets you know when they are done too.

How to reheat wonder bread chaffles
You can reheat keto chaffles in the toaster, toaster oven, or conventional oven at 350 degrees. The taster is the fastest and easiest way.
How to store leftovers
Let your chaffles cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you are ready to reheat, use a toaster, toaster oven, or oven set at 350 until warm.
Can you freeze chaffles?
Yes, you can freeze chaffles. Be sure to allow them to cool after cooking. Then place them in a freezer bag, with a piece of parchment paper between each one. This will ensure they don't stick together when you are ready to serve them. They should be good for up to a month in the freezer. To serve, pop them in the toaster on low to warm or in a 350-degree oven until warmed.

I loved the bread recipe, I top with avocado, egg with a little everything bagel seasoning. And didn't feel guilty about eating it! Thanks
Gina
YUM! Great topping ideas Kay. Thanks for sharing.
Linda
I'm assuming you DON'T want to cook these 30-45 MINUTES longer for a crispy chaffle??
Gina
Linda, I don't know where my mind was when I wrote that part of the recipe! I fixed it to read 1 to 2 minutes more minutes. Thank you for pointing it out.
