Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (mild, not too sharp)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Mix the batter. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth.
- Add cheese and blueberries. Stir in shredded mozzarella (this makes the chaffle moist and fluffy). Gently fold in the blueberries so they don’t burst.
- Cook the chaffle. Pour half the batter into the waffle maker. Close and cook for 3–4 minutes, until golden and set. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm. Top with a sprinkle of extra blueberries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
Helpful Notes & Tips
- Cheese matters: Use mild mozzarella for a subtle flavor—sharp cheese will overpower the blueberries.
- Avoid sogginess: If using frozen blueberries, pat them dry before folding in.
- Storage: Store cooled chaffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
- Sweetness control: Adjust the sweetener to your taste—start light and add more if needed.
Recipe Variations
- Berry Swap: Try raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (reduce almond flour slightly).
- Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free shredded cheese and coconut cream instead of mozzarella.
- Dessert Chaffle: Add a pinch of cinnamon and top with sugar-free chocolate drizzle.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with sugar-free maple syrup and a side of crispy bacon for a balanced breakfast.
- Enjoy with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and extra fresh berries.
- Serve as a light dessert with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
