Ingredients

1 tsp coconut flour
1 egg white
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
`1 tsp cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp garlic powder
pinch of salt
3 tsp low carb marinara sauce
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
6 pepperonis cut in half
1 tbsp parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 tsp basil seasoning

Instructions

Make the Chaffle Batter

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Turn the waffle maker on or plug it in so that it gets hot.
Crack an egg into a mixing bowl and beat lightly. Add the coconut flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, baking powder, and seasonings. Stir until a thick, cohesive batter forms.

Cook the Chaffle Crusts

Preheat your mini dash waffle maker to high. Brush the hot plates lightly with oil or butter for seasoning and easy release. Pour half the batter onto the bottom plate and spread into an even layer.
Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until deep golden. Repeat for the second chaffle.

Customize with Pizza Toppings

Spread 1-2 tbsp pizza sauce on each crust. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni. Grate fresh parmesan over the tops. Feel free to add mushrooms, sausage, or other favorite pizza toppings!

Bake Until Crispy and Melty

Place chaffle crusts on a baking sheet or oven rack. Bake at 400F for 5 minutes, then broil for approx 1 minute to melt and slightly brown cheese. Slice and enjoy immediately! Keep a close eye on it, as it can burn quickly.
Remove from oven and sprinkle basil on top. (optional)

Notes

Serving Size: The nutritional information provided is for one keto Pizza Chaffels. This recipe makes two individual keto pizza chaffles.

Cheesy Chaffle Tips - Getting that signature crispy chaffle texture takes a hot, seasoned waffle maker and avoiding overmixing the batter. Once cooked, let the steam escape to optimize crispness before topping and baking. Pro tips like sprinkling cheese help take it over the top!

Topping Combinations - Play with favorites like Italian sausage, bacon, pulled chicken, ground beef, or pork. Veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion also taste fantastic. And the sauce possibilities are endless - marinara and sugar-free barbecue sauce are perfect on chaffle pizza crusts!

Storage & Reheating - I would microwave first for about 30-45 seconds, then reheat the chaff pizza in the oven or air fryer at 325°F for 4-5 minutes or until warmed through. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning the cheese. Crisping in the oven or air fryer is key; otherwise, microwaving makes them soggy.
