Have you heard of a chaffle? It’s a low-carb, keto-friendly waffle typically made with cheese and eggs, sometimes with almond or coconut flour. We’ve got a full breakdown of chaffles here.
Lately, I’ve been craving spring classics, starting with Strawberry Shortcake. I wanted a keto waffle without cheese, and these almond flour waffles were the perfect solution.
