An Easy Keto Chocolate Chaffle Recipe
Jump to...
Introduction
If you’ve never tried a chocolate chaffle, here’s one perfect for your first try. You can easily whip this keto chocolate chaffle in just under 5 minutes of cook time! It is ideal for breakfast, dessert, or when you’re craving something sweet. And, if you’re feeling a bit fancy like me, you would be interested in the red velvet variation.
But first thing first, what exactly is a chaffle anyway? In short, a chaffle is a cheese waffle. It’s a mixture of mozzarella cheese and egg, making the waffles fluffy, slightly crunchy, and cheesy. Chaffles are popular for keto because of their low-carb content and flexibility. It can easily be paired with any flavor or ingredients. We’ve created many variations of the chaffle on this blog, for example, the Oreo chaffle, cinnamon chaffle recipe, and many more.
That said, this chocolate chaffle is a combination of our favorite textures and flavor: Soft, fluffy, and chocolatey! It’s made with simple keto ingredients without the sugar rush. I personally love the combination of cream cheese and chocolate, so this was a no-duh. As with most chaffles shared at butter together kitchen, you can add anything as a topping. Think whipped cream or fruits for an extra indulgence, and I think I need not say anymore.
So without further ado, here’s how you make the perfect keto chocolate chaffles:
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add almond flour or coconut flour to the mixture?
Yes. Almond flour is an excellent keto-friendly alternative to regular flour. It will give a soft and fluffy texture to the chaffles, while also getting rid of any eggy taste. You can also choose coconut flour instead of almond. Just make sure to adjust accordingly.
Can I add baking powder to the mixture?
Yes. Feel free to add baking powder to the mixture to create a light, fluffy, and moist chaffle texture.
Can I make this recipe if I don't have a mini waffle maker?
Absolutely! While a mini waffle maker is great for creating smaller, personal-sized chaffles, you can also use a regular waffle iron. Note that the cooking time might vary based on the size of your waffle iron and the thickness of your chaffles.
Can I replace Lakanto Powdered Sweetener with other sweeteners?
Yes, you can replace Lakanto Powdered Sweetener with other keto-friendly sweeteners such as Stevia or Erythritol. It’s important to use a sweetener that you enjoy the taste of, as this can affect the overall flavor of your chaffles.
Can I replace the cocoa powder with something else?
If you’re looking for a different flavor, you could replace the cocoa powder with another keto-friendly ingredient. You could use cinnamon for a cinnamon roll chaffle or pumpkin spice for a pumpkin spice chaffle. However, if you’re still looking for a chocolate flavor but don’t have cocoa powder, you could use sugar-free chocolate chips or unsweetened baking chocolate.
Can I use a different type of cheese in this recipe?
Shredded mozzarella cheese is used in this recipe for its smooth melting properties and mild flavor. However, you could try using other types of cheese. Just remember the flavor of the cheese can change the flavor of the chaffles, and not all cheese melt as well as mozzarella.
Can these chaffles be used as bread for a sandwich?
While these are chocolate chaffles and are typically used more for a dessert or sweet treat, we actually have another variation that is more toned down and would make the perfect base to keto sandwich.
How can I increase the protein content of these chaffles?
The eggs and cheese in this recipe already provide a good amount of protein. But if you’d like to increase it further, you could add protein powder. Make sure it’s a keto-friendly protein powder, and consider adjusting the amount of sweetener, as some protein powders come sweetened.
How do I know when my chaffle is cooked?
The cooking time can vary with your specific waffle maker and how you like your chaffles. As a general rule, the chaffle should be easy to remove from the waffle maker and be a nice golden brown color. If you like your chaffles more on the crispy side, you can leave them in for a little longer.

What if I don't want to use red food coloring?
The red food coloring is entirely optional. It’s primarily used to give the chaffles a “red velvet” appearance, but it does not affect the flavor. Feel free to leave it out.
