Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large egg room temperature for best results
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter natural or nut butter without added sugar
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese low moisture works best
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener or your preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for subtle flavor depth
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended, about 30 seconds.
- Add cheese and sweetener: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and monk fruit sweetener, stirring gently until the mixture is evenly combined with no lumps of cheese remaining.
- Let it rest: Allow the batter to sit for 1 minute so the cheese can slightly soften and integrate, making the batter easier to cook evenly.
- Preheat the iron: Heat your waffle iron to medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until it's hot and ready to use.
- Prepare the iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a tiny amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter: Divide the batter evenly between the waffle iron molds, using about half the mixture per chaffle for two chaffles total.
- Cook until golden: Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, watching for steam to slow down, which signals the chaffle is nearly done and edges are turning golden brown.
- Remove carefully: Using a silicone spatula or plastic utensil, gently lift the chaffle from the iron and place on a cooling rack or plate.
