Have you tried making chaffles before? If you’re following a low-carb or a keto diet, these are probably a mainstay. But even if you’re not on those diets, I think this zucchini chaffles recipe is a great way to replace refined carbs and add extra veggie and protein too.
I love to make this chaffle recipe as a way to make chaffle sandwiches. There are a lot of variations you can make with chaffles. This recipe is bascially a zucchini waffle. I used the same recipe I made my zucchini pizza crust with to make this recipe. If you don’t have a waffle maker, that’s ok. You can actually make zucchini fritters with this recipe too. If you are looking for an affordable waffle maker, I have this mini waffle maker. I can’t lie, I do wish I had a larger waffle maker so I could do more than one at a time. But, this works just fine and is such a great price.
I personally love to use the zucchini chaffles to make a healthy veggie sandwich, but you can eat them alone or make any type of sandwich you prefer. Sometimes, I also use chaffles as the ‘bread’ for my hamburgers. Honestly, my kids love these too, so it’s a great substitute and way to sneak in veggies. If you’re not a zucchini fan, you should try using cauliflower instead.
