Delicious Chocolate Chaffles

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons almond flour (or 2 teaspoons coconut flour for nut-free)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra crispiness)

Serving Suggestion:

• 1 teaspoon sugar-free chocolate chips or shavings (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Grease: Preheat your chaffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. Wet Mix: In a bowl, whisk together egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Dry Mix: Stir in almond flour (or coconut flour), cocoa powder, baking powder (if using), and sweetener.
4. Cheese? You Decide! For a soft, fluffy waffle, skip the cheese. For a crispy “chaffle” texture, add the mozzarella cheese.
5. Cook the Chaffle: Pour enough batter to cover the iron’s surface, leaving space to prevent overflow. Cook for 3-4 minutes maximum (longer dries it out). It won’t be crispy initially, but that’s okay!
6. Cool and Crisp: Carefully remove the chaffle and place it on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. This is where it crisps up!
7. Repeat and Serve: Cook remaining batter and enjoy! Top with sugar-free chocolate chips or shavings, maple syrup, unsweetened whipped cream, or your favorite no sugar added toppings.
