Notes

1. Protein Powder - For all recipes that call for protein powder, I use Keto Chow which is a keto meal mix that has protein, vitamins, and minerals. Plus it's fun to bake with since they have so many flavors. For this recipe, I used their snickerdoodle flavor. Feel free to use whatever protein powder you like. If your protein powder is unsweetened, you might want to add some sweetener to this recipe.

2. Cream cheese – It’s okay to microwave the cream cheese for about 30 seconds to soften, allow to cool slightly, then whisk with a fork to lighten.

3. Mini waffle maker – Dash makes the best mini waffle iron for chaffles.

4. Ladle batter – Place a kitchen towel and a piece of parchment paper underneath the mini waffle maker to catch any spills.

5. Texture – If you put it on a cooling rack right out of the mini waffle maker, it will crisp up after a few minutes. The texture of these chaffles is light, fluffy, and slightly cake-like. If you like a crispy outside and the mini-waffle maker isn’t doing it for you, you can pop them in the toaster to crisp them up.

6. Storage – Can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days, then reheated in the toaster. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

8. Nutrition and carbs – Be aware that some recipe blogs omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included it and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a carb counter app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.

3.53 Total Carbs – 1.10 Fiber – .01 Sugar Alcohols = 2.42 Net Carbs per chaffle or ½ recipe.
