This past February, we celebrated Gluten-Free February, exploring delicious ways to enjoy meals without gluten—without sacrificing flavor or creativity. As part of our Chefs’ Choir™ series, where our talented culinary team shares their favorite recipes and inspirations, one of our chefs put together a simple yet satisfying guide to Chaffles—a crispy, cheesy, waffle-inspired treat that’s naturally gluten-free.

Whether you’re following a gluten-free lifestyle or just looking for a fun twist on breakfast, Chaffles are endlessly versatile. Read more from Chef Mike Deuel below!

If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying gluten-free option for breakfast or a snack, look no further than chaffles! A clever combination of cheese and eggs, chaffles are naturally gluten-free and low-carb, making them a great alternative to traditional waffles.

Chaffles are incredibly versatile—you can keep them simple with just two ingredients (cheese and eggs) or customize them with almond or coconut flour for a more bread-like texture. They can be made sweet with vanilla and cinnamon or savory with herbs and spices. The best part? They cook in just minutes in a waffle maker, giving you a crispy, golden bite without the hassle.

Enjoy them as a stand-alone treat, use them as a bread substitute for sandwiches, or top them with avocado, berries, or sugar-free syrup. Whether you’re following a gluten-free diet or just want a quick and delicious meal, chaffles are a game-changer in the kitchen!

Try them today and discover your new favorite gluten-free delight!
