Egg: The main binding ingredient, providing structure and holding the chaffle together. It is best to use a large grade A egg.
Almond Flour: A low-carb, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. I use almond flour from WholesomeYum, which you can buy directly through that link (it’s our affiliate link). It’s the best almond flour I’ve found.
Mayonnaise: Adds moisture and flavor to the chaffle. Mayo adds moisture to our chaffle and a creamy flavor.
Baking Powder: Ensures a light and fluffy texture. Be sure your baking powder is fresh by checking the expiration date.
Water: Helps to break up the ingredients a bit and keeps one ingredient from sticking out too much.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This white bread chaffle is so easy to make.

Take a small bowl and mix together avocado mayonnaise, one egg, add almond flour and baking powder. To customize it and make it more versatile, you can use any spices you want, such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning or simply salt and pepper. Make sure you mix it well until it’s uniform in consistency.
Heat up your mini waffle maker and greasy it lightly. Preheat the waffle maker.
Pour half the batter into your mini waffle maker and cook until it stops steaming. Depending on your particular waffle maker, this should take about 1-3 minutes. When the waffle maker is heated, carefully pour 1/2 of the batter in the waffle maker and close the top. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes.
Now that you have two chaffles you can customize it into any way you want to. Remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Tips for the Perfect Chaffle

Crispy Chaffles: For a crispier chaffle, allow it to rest for a minute or two after cooking.
Less Eggy: If you find chaffles too eggy, try using two egg whites instead of one whole egg.
Using Different Flours: While almond flour is preferred for this white bread chaffle, you can experiment with other low-carb flours. However, be aware that the texture and taste may differ.
Freezing & Reheating: Chaffles can be easily frozen and reheated. To prevent sticking, freeze them separately on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag.
Be Creative: This recipe is incredibly adaptable. Add your favorite spices to the batter or use the chaffles for French toast.

Mexican Chaffle: Add 1/4 teaspoon of Homemade Mexican Seasoning or Sazon Seasoning to the batter.
Hamburger: Chaffles make a great burger bun.

Common Questions

Can I use coconut flour? It will change the texture and make it drier. You can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but remember that it is more absorbent than almond flour, so you may need to adjust the amount used and add additional liquid. Coconut flour also has a distinct taste, which some people might not like. You should never substitute coconut flour for almond flour in any recipe. This is because coconut flour absorbs moisture like crazy and if you use it in place of almond flour it will come out dry and crumbly.
Can I use a regular waffle maker? Yes, you can make these chaffles in a regular-sized waffle maker. You may need to adjust the cooking time, and amount of batter used depending on the size of your waffle maker. If you don’t have the Dash Mini Waffle Maker, you can always make this recipe using a regular waffle maker. I wouldn’t say these have an eggy taste, but if you’re very particular with that you can use different seasonings.
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can make these chaffles ahead of time and reheat them later. To reheat, place them in the toaster or the oven at a low temperature until they are warm and crispy again.
Can I make pancakes with this recipe? While it is possible to do so, using the recipe just as is would result in a pretty dense pancake. You would need to adjust the recipe by adding more water or milk to make it less thick.
Are sandwiches keto? They are if you use keto sandwich bread. Just look at the net carbs and make sure it fits in with your macros.
Do these chaffles have an eggy taste? Nope, these chaffles taste just like Wonder Bread. They are light and have a mild flavor.
How do you freeze chaffles? Place the chaffles on a baking sheet in a single layer and place the baking sheet in the freezer. Once the chaffles are completely frozen, place them in a freezer-safe food storage bag, and separate each chaffle with a piece of parchment paper.
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.

Storage Instructions

Fridge: You can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge for a day or two.
Freezer: Stack chaffles up and put parchment paper in between so they don’t stick to one another. You can also store in the freezer for a few weeks. Put the wonder bread chaffles in a single layer on a baking sheet (if you need to do multiple layers, separate with parchment paper) and freeze. Place cooled chaffles in a freezer bag with parchment paper between them.
