Ingredients for Pizza Chaffles
As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you need for this recipe. To get the complete, printable recipe just keep scrolling. To make easy keto pizza you will need:
- Chaffles: this recipe uses my basic chaffle recipe. You will also find the recipe below, but it includes ingredients like shredded cheese, almond flour, eggs, and baking powder.

How to Make a Pizza Chaffle

- Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, or air fry at 350 degrees for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
What kind of waffle maker do I use?
You can make chaffles in any waffle maker, but I prefer this Dash Mini Waffle Maker. It’s the perfect size for sandwiches these cute mini pizzas! This recipe makes 6 chaffles for this size–If you make larger chaffles, prepare to get fewer chaffles and have a longer cooking time.
Meal Prep Tips
Make these chaffles (or a double batch!) ahead of time and store them in the fridge for easy meals, or freeze to use later. To store these waffles for later allow them to cool completely on a wire rack and store in an air tight container. These chaffles will stay good up to 5 days if stored properly.
To freeze chaffles allow them to cool completely. Then place them in a freezer bag with parchment paper in between to avoid sticking. When ready to eat pop them in the toaster oven or air fryer in 30 second increments or allow them to thaw at room temperature before adding your pizza toppings.
Other Pizza Toppings
Some other great low carb pizza toppings include Italian sausage, prosciutto, ham, grilled chicken and bacon. Some of my favorite pizza veggies are spinach, bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, olives and mushrooms! You can also switch up the cheeses by using feta, asiago, parmesan and provolone. Mix it up! Make these your own!
