🧇 Keto White Bread Chaffle Recipe
I always try to make a few recipes that will meet the special diet needs of friends and family when we have them over for a meal. This chaffle recipe is great for someone on a keto diet or gluten-free diet.
- Chaffles are easy to make with a few simple ingredients.
- This chaffle recipe with almond flour is a keto alternative to regular white sandwich bread.
- The combinations of flavors you can add to the batter are endless.
- Chaffles are a great gluten-free alternative when making sandwiches.
What Ingredients You Will Need
When making this white bread keto chaffle recipe, there are only a few simple ingredients needed that are usually found in your pantry.
- Egg: It is best to use a large grade A egg. If your egg is small, I suggest using two.
- Almond flour: Be sure to use fine ground almond flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour.
- Mayonnaise: Mayo adds moisture to our chaffle and a creamy flavor. I’m a southern girl who likes to use Dukes Mayonaise but you can use any good quality mayo for this recipe.
- Baking powder: Be sure your baking powder is fresh by checking the expiration date. If it gets old, it will not make your chaffles fluff up when cooking.
- Water
Look at this fun Dash. Pineapple-impressed chaffles would make a great summertime sandwich or snack.

Tips For Making Great Tasting Chaffles
How do you make chaffles less eggy?
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.
How do you keep chaffles from sticking?
You can keep chaffles from sticking by giving your small waffle iron a quick spritz of coconut oil on the top and bottom plates of the waffle iron. You could also use other light oils, such as avocado oil or olive oil.
How can you make chaffles crispy?
You can make chaffles crispy. First, cook them in your mini waffle maker until the done light goes on. Then allow them to cook for 30 to 40 more seconds to make them crispier.

📆 How long can chaffles keep in the fridge?
If you keep your chaffles in an air-tight container, they will remain fresh tasting for up to a week in your refrigerator.

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.
