👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Plug in your waffle maker and let it heat up completely. A hot surface ensures crispy edges.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a small bowl:
-
Crack the egg

-
For savory: add garlic powder, salt, or herbs
-
For sweet: add a keto-friendly sweetener and vanilla
Step 4: Cook the Chaffle
-
Lightly grease the waffle maker if needed
-
Pour half the batter into the center
-
Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes
Avoid opening too early—this helps it crisp up properly.
Step 5: Remove & Crisp
Once golden brown:
-
Carefully remove the chaffle
-
Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to firm up
Repeat with remaining batter.
