Oreo Keto Chaffles are a low-carb, keto-friendly version of the classic Oreo cookie made using a chaffle recipe. Chaffles are a popular keto and low-carb alternative to traditional waffles, typically made with eggs and cheese. Here’s a basic recipe for Oreo Keto Chaffles:
Ingredients:
For the Chaffle Batter:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Sweetener to taste (use a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia)
For the Oreo Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or a similar keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Make the Chaffle Batter:
- Preheat your mini waffle maker or chaffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and your chosen keto-friendly sweetener. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until the batter is smooth.
- Cook the Chaffles:
- Lightly grease the waffle maker or chaffle iron with cooking spray or a bit of coconut oil.
- Pour half of the chaffle batter into the preheated waffle maker, close the lid, and cook until it’s golden brown and crispy (usually about 3-5 minutes, but times may vary depending on your device). Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Transfer the chaffles to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Make the Oreo Filling:
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Oreo Keto Chaffles:
- Once the chaffles have cooled slightly, spread the Oreo filling on one chaffle and then top it with another chaffle to create a sandwich.
- Optionally, you can dust the assembled Oreo Keto Chaffle with a bit of cocoa powder or crushed sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your Oreo Keto Chaffles while they are still warm, as they are often most delicious when freshly made.
Remember that the sweetness of your Oreo Keto Chaffles will depend on the amount of sweetener you add, so adjust it to your taste preferences. This recipe is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying within your keto or low-carb diet guidelines.
