These savory Pumpkin Pie Chaffles are ideal for breakfast, dessert, or any time you crave pumpkin pie.
Have you tried chaffles yet? A chaffle is a keto-friendly waffle made primarily from eggs and cheese. They’re versatile — use them for sweet or savory variations, make sandwiches, or enjoy them plain. They crisp up nicely and resemble a traditional waffle more than you might expect from such simple ingredients.
To make chaffles you’ll need a waffle maker. A compact mini waffle maker works well, is affordable, and easy to store. Use medium-high heat so the chaffles brown and become crisp without overcooking the inside.
Can you make chaffles ahead of time?
Yes. Make a larger batch, cool completely, then freeze the extras in a sealed freezer bag. When ready to eat, reheat in a toaster or oven until warmed and crisp. Top with whipped cream or your favorite low-carb topping for best results.
What does a chaffle taste like?
Although chaffles contain eggs and cheese, they become crispy on the outside and tender inside. Their texture and flavor are surprisingly waffle-like, not overly eggy. Adding pumpkin and warm spices gives these chaffles a comforting, seasonal flavor that pairs beautifully with a creamy topping.
Pumpkin Pie Chaffles Recipe
Yields: 2 chaffles
Ingredients
Pumpkin Pie Chaffles Ingredients:
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons pureed pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup mild cheddar cheese
Whipped Cream Topping Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipping cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Chaffles
1. Preheat your waffle maker.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add vanilla, pumpkin puree, and the shredded cheeses; mix until combined.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the egg and cheese mixture, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
5. Lightly spray the waffle maker with cooking spray. Pour batter onto the plate and cook on medium-high heat until the chaffle is golden and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. If the chaffle is still sticky, cook a bit longer.
Whipped Cream Topping: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the whipping cream and vanilla extract, then whip until light and fluffy.
6. Allow the chaffles to cool briefly, then top with a generous dollop of the whipped cream topping.
