Best Ever Keto Cinnamon Roll Chaffles
Jump to...
Introduction
These taste like a cinnamon roll — the warm cinnamon and sweet icing are the whole point — and they take a few minutes in a waffle maker instead of asking you to make an actual cinnamon-roll dough.
I am not much of a breakfast person, so I would happily eat these as dessert, or late at night. Cinnamon rolls are one of the few sweet foods nobody questions you for eating at any hour.
What Is a Chaffle?
“Chaffle” started as cheese plus waffle. The original was exactly that: cheese and egg cooked in a waffle iron until crisp enough to use as a bun or toast. Our white bread chaffle takes the same idea further.
Dessert chaffles are where the name gets a little funny because some move pretty far away from that original formula. This one still has cheese. Mozzarella and cream cheese are both in the batter, alongside coconut flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener.
If you want the longer version, we wrote a full guide to what a chaffle is, and there is a full list of sweet and savory chaffles too.
Which Waffle Maker?
A mini one works well because it makes a chaffle about the size of a bun or slice of bread. We use the Dash Mini Waffle Maker, which is the size this recipe was written around.
If you are cooking for a family, or making a big batch to freeze, one at a time gets old fast. This waffle maker by Burgess Brothers does four at once.
Divide the Batter Into Thirds
The recipe makes three chaffles, so use about one-third of the batter for each one. Preheat the waffle maker before you start, then cook each chaffle for a few minutes until it reaches the doneness you like.
It is a small detail, but dividing the batter from the beginning keeps the first chaffle from becoming enormous and the last one from getting whatever happens to be left in the bowl.
The Icing and Cinnamon Topping
There are two finishing layers here. First comes the icing made with heavy cream and powdered sweetener. The recipe specifically allows more powdered sweetener until the consistency is where you want it, so start with the listed amount and adjust from there.
Then mix Classic monk fruit with cinnamon and sprinkle that over the top. That second cinnamon layer is what makes this feel more like a cinnamon roll than a sweet waffle with icing.
If the cinnamon and sweetener are your favorite part, our snickerdoodle chaffles are built around them: no icing, just melted butter and a cinnamon coating pressed onto both sides.
The Sweetener
Lakanto’s Classic monk fruit goes into the chaffle itself, while Classic and Powdered are used in the finishing layers.
