I am not sure what the best part of these chaffles is. Could it be the chaffles themselves or is it the maple cream cheese that goes so perfectly with the chaffles? Either way it’s nice to know that you can have a breakfast that tastes this good and still keeps you in ketosis and abates your hunger so you do not crave carb heavy snacks.
Keto Cinnamon Chaffles with Maple Cream Cheese
There are many uses and different ways to serve the wonderful, versatile and delicious keto chaffles. Warm, softly spiced with cinnamon, these keto chaffles are topped with a deliciously creamy, sweet maple cream cheese flavored with stevia.
Equipment
- Mixer
- Waffle Iron
- Bowls and measuring equipment
Ingredients
- Maple cream cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted cream cheese softened
- ½ tsp maple extract sweetened with stevia or erythritol
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tbsp powdered erythritol
- Cinnamon chaffles
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp coconut oil for greasing
Instructions
- Mix the maple cream cheese ingredients together until they are well combined. Place in the fridge to firm up while you make your chaffles.
- Pre-heat your waffle maker.
- Place the eggs, mozzarella cheese, coconut flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking powder into a mixing bowl and beat to combine. You could also blend the batter with an immersion mixer for a smoother consistency.
- Set aside to rest for 5 minutes to let the coconut flour absorb some moisture.
- Lightly grease your waffle iron and evenly spoon the mixture over the bottom plate, spreading it out slightly to get an even result. Close the waffle iron and cook for approximately 6 minutes.
- Gently lift the lid to check if it’s done.
- Serve warm with a dollop of maple cream cheese.
Notes
The original recipe makes four large chaffles or 6 mini chaffles.
A large waffle maker takes around 6 minutes and the mini waffle maker takes 3 minutes per chaffle.
These chaffles are best eaten straight away but can be frozen and reheated.
Maple extract flavored with stevia can be purchased from sites like Amazon and some specialty stores. Do read the labels as some maple extracts can have non-keto friendly sweeteners like malitol, or even real maple syrup.
