    Broccoli & Cheese 'Chaffles' Keto Waffles | Easy Low Carb Breakfast

    Thanks to Instagram, I've been completely obsessed with preparing different variations of Keto waffles. While some recipes call for almond milk, cream cheese or whipped cream, my savory recipe features broccoli and cheese.

    At first, I wasn't sure how they'd turn out. Broccoli sometimes smells a little funky to me, which was definitely a concern.

    However, after a few different attempts, they came out so much better than I expected!

    The edges of the waffles are crispy while the inside remains light and fluffy. The broccoli steams perfectly in the waffle iron with just the slightest bite.

    You can't beat it for 3g of net carbs!

    Not a fan of broccoli?

    While my recipe specifically calls for broccoli, you can totally switch up the ingredients for a different style of waffle.

    This base also works great with diced ham, chopped spinach, grilled onions and peppers and so much more.

    You can even completely omit the veggies and aromatics and add sweetener for a dessert style waffle. I find that monk fruit or erythritol works well.

    You can also serve with sugar-free syrup, just like regular waffles!

    Be creative and use your favorite ingredients!

    Cheddar Waffle With Ranch

    Perfect to make ahead

    When I make these, they're usually gone instantly. But that doesn't mean you can't make them ahead!

    If you happen to have any leftover, freeze them and store in an freezer bag. Whenever you need a quick breakfast, just pull one out and heat it through. I usually do this in the air fryer or a hot pan.

    My favorite waffle maker

    Time to pull out that Belgian waffle iron! Or any waffle cooking device you may have for that matter. I recently ordered a Dash Mini Waffle Maker and I'm obsessed! It's super affordable and each waffle is the perfect size to use as a bread substitute.

    This magic device comes in a variety of colors that will suite any kitchen style. I've even considered buying another to make them even faster!

    Broccoli &Amp; Cheese Waffles

    For a full-sized version, I can't say enough good things about this Belgian waffle maker.

    What is the difference between waffle and pancake recipes?

    Usually nothing. Traditional recipes almost always call for the same ingredients and typically include things like baking powder or heavy cream.

    Keto Waffle Serving Ideas

    Like I mentioned, I typically make two mini waffles and use them as "bread" for my sandwiches. They make a fantastic breakfast sandwich with some bacon or sausage in between.

    They're also great to dip into a runny egg yolk or gravy, or for use as a quick pizza base.

    Equipment

    • waffle iron

    Ingredients
      

    • ⅓ cup raw broccoli, finely chopped 20g
    • ¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded 28g
    • 1 egg
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon dried minced onion
    • salt and pepper, to taste
    • cooking spray

    Instructions
     

    • Plug in your waffle iron to come to temperature.
    • In a small bowl, crack and beat the egg with a fork.
    • Fold in the broccoli, cheese, garlic powder, onion, salt and pepper.
    • When the waffle iron is ready, spray with cooking spray (if needed) and add your egg mixture. Close the waffle iron and let it cook until the light goes out, indicating it has finished one cycle.
    • Close the lid again and let it cook through another cycle.
    • When finished, carefully remove from the waffle iron with tongs or a fork.
    • Enjoy! Serve with butter, sour cream or ranch dressing.

    Notes

    This recipe makes one full-sized or two mini waffles.
    For an even crispier exterior, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese before and after laying your egg mixture.

    Storebought Keto Waffles

    Feeling a little lazy? Don't worry, I get it. Fortunately, there are some pretty decent Keto Pancake mixes out there that also work well as waffles.

    Here are some of my favorites:

    • Good Dee's Low Carb Pancake Mix
    • Birch Bender's Pancake Mix (comes in chocolate chip, too!)
    • Just like "Buttermilk" Pancakes from Kawaii Treats and Eats

      Haven't tried this yet but to... First though, because I am assuming that the consistency well be very egg-like (which isn't a bad thing...), I am wondering if adding a little bit of waffle mix would make it more fluffy? Not a lot, just a little...? I want to try this bit do not want to ruin a good thing! Please let me know... Thank you

        I don't find them to be too eggy, personally. In place of waffle mix, could you maybe use some additional low carb flour of some sort?

        If you really want to use the waffle mix, just make sure it fits within your carb count.

      Very good! I only cooked mine one time in the waffle maker and they were done perfectly. Very easy to make. I used spinach instead of broccoli because that’s what I had on hand, but think you could use any veggie/meats that you wanted.
