A Low Carb Donut Chaffle recipe that offers a delicious, keto-friendly alternative to traditional donuts. Made with almond flour and sugar-free sweetener, this waffle-iron cooked treat is crispy on the outside and tender inside, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Chaffle Batter

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle maker: Preheat your waffle maker thoroughly to ensure the chaffles cook evenly and develop a crispy, golden-brown exterior while remaining tender inside.
  2. Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are fully combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Prepare the waffle iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a brush of oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
  4. Cook the chaffle: Pour the batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker and gently close the lid. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, adjusting for your appliance’s settings and watching for golden-brown doneness.
  5. Cool and finish: Carefully remove the donut chaffle and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. Add your favorite toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter, or enjoy it plain as a low carb, quick treat.

  • Use a non-stick spray or oil to prevent sticking.
