Chaffles are waffles that are made with two ingredients-eggs and cheese. These two ingredients are combined and cooked in a mini waffle maker (a regular sized waffle maker will work as well). Chaffles are quick and easy to make.
I personally like to add nutritional yeast to my Chaffles. I find the nutritional yeast helps elevate its flavor and adds nutrients. Additionally, what’s great about chaffles is that you can add veggies to this recipe. Here I have turned my original chaffle recipe into Carrot Chaffles. I added finely shredded carrots. Once baked, the carrots blend in with the rest of the ingredients.
Here I used a mini heart-shaped waffle maker and a mini round-shaped waffle maker.
Fun Fact: once baked, allow the chaffle to rest for about a minute. Then, put it apart to witness the cheesy cheese pull. Once it cools, it will firm up a bit and won’t have the “cheese pull” effect; however, it will still be tasty.
Carrot Chaffles served with avocado.
Other Chaffle Recipes Include:
- Regular Chaffles– just 3 ingredients (my 3rd and optional ingredient is nutritional yeast)
- Broccoli Chaffles– a 4-ingredient chaffle that includes shredded broccoli for some extra nutrients

List of Ingredients:
These are the products I used to make the chaffles.
I used this mini heart-shaped waffle maker and this mini waffle-maker to make these chaffles.
- 2 large eggs, I used pasture-raised
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast, optional
- 1/3 cup shredded carrots, using the small holes of a box grater
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Shred some of the block of mozzarella cheese, measure 1 cup, and set it aside.
Using the small-holes of the box grater, shred the carrot, measure 1/3 cup, and set it aside.
Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk.
Add the nutritional yeast, mozzarella cheese, and the shredded carrots. Mix to combine and set it aside.
Preheat the waffle maker.
Once preheated, carefully scoop about 2.5-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the heated mini waffle maker (or as much as it’s needed) and spread it out evenly. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes or until the light turns off (signaling it’s ready).
Carefully remove the carrot chaffle (being cautious of the steam), and transfer it to a wired rack to cool.
Note: once baked, allow the chaffle to rest for about a minute. Then, pull it apart to witness the cheesy cheese pull. Once it cools, it will firm up a bit and won’t have the “cheese pull” effect; however, it will still be tasty.
