Ingredients

• 1 large Egg
• 1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder (low sodium)
• 1/8 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preheating your waffle maker to ensure it's hot when the batter is ready. This step is crucial for a crispy texture.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, crack one large egg and whisk it gently until it's evenly beaten.

Step 3

Add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the egg. Ensure the cheese is evenly mixed into the egg.

Step 4

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of almond flour. This ingredient provides structure and a slightly nutty flavor to the chaffle.

Step 5

Add 1/4 teaspoon of low sodium baking powder to help the chaffle rise a bit and become fluffy.

Step 6

Enhance the flavor by sprinkling in 1/8 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 7

If desired, lightly grease the waffle maker with 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter to prevent sticking, though this is optional if your waffle maker is non-stick.

Step 8

Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid firmly and allow it to cook for around 4 minutes or until the chaffle is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the chaffle carefully and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy! These chaffles can be topped with your favorite toppings such as unsalted butter or a low sodium sauce of choice.
