What is a chaffle?
A chaffle is basically a waffle that is made primarily with cheese and egg. Chaffle are very popular on the Keto diet since they are grain-free and low carb.
Grain-free also fits SCD so I wanted to give these waffles a try. I decided to go a little lighter and make my chaffles heavier on veggies and lighter on cheese. I’m a big fan of creating fresh flavor by mixing different vegetables together to make a main dish.
I’m using Zucchini and Cauliflower as the base, with just a bit of Farmer’s Cheese and Parmesan to help bind everything together with the egg and coconut flour.
These are especially great if you are looking for different ways to incorporate cooked vegetables into your diet. Zucchini and Cauliflower are both mild and these chaffles have a light delicate flavor that isn’t overpowering.
They are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I served them with some melted butter drizzled over the top with a dollop of plain SCD yogurt. I liked that they made a hearty, comforting meal that wasn’t heavy.
