Crispy Keto Chaffles Recipe | Carnivore | 1 Carb

Ingredients used in Crispy Keto/Carnivore Chaffles.

Cream cheese.

Cream cheese is used in this chaffles recipe because it helps to provide a creamy texture and acts as a binding agent to hold the ingredients together. Additionally, cream cheese is low in carbs and high in fat, making it a great ingredient for those following a low-carb, ketogenic diet, or carnivore diet.

Mozzarella cheese.

Mozzarella is used because it is a low-carbohydrate cheese that melts well and helps to bind the ingredients together. Additionally, mozzarella has a mild flavor.

You can easily substitute your favorite shredded cheese. I’ve used cheddar and gouda with great results. The chaffles will take on the flavor of stronger cheeses. If you change up the shredded cheese, omit the vanilla extract.

Eggs.

Eggs are used in this recipe as a binding agent and to help hold the chaffle together. Eggs also add moisture and contribute to the texture of the chaffle.

Pork rind crumbs.

Pork rind crumbs are a “secret ingredient” in these keto/carnivore chaffles because they add a crispy texture and subtle flavor, while also being a low-carb and high-protein option. Additionally, they can act as a binding agent for the chaffle batter.

Vanilla extract.

Vanilla extract is used to add flavor and enhance the overall taste of the chaffles. It contains negligible amounts of carbs, making it a great ingredient for those on a low-carb diet. Additionally, vanilla extract is a natural sweetener, which can help reduce the need for additional sweeteners that may contain carbs.

I like using vanilla when I want a chaffle that is similar to an actual waffle recipe. Mild in flavor and just a hint of sweetness.

Vanilla extract should be omitted if on a strict carnivore diet, or if you are using a stronger cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, gruyere, or gouda.
