6 More Chaffle Variations Tested - All From Viewer Submissions

[@SeriousKeto]

You can help shape where I go with content and features. Based on feedback I've received, there's now smaller bites (or at least less chewing) and I've eliminated music during the "cooking" parts of the video (replaced with my narration). Next question: While I will always try to keep my videos under 10 minutes, would you like to see more frequent (and shorter) videos highlighting just one or two chaffles, or do you prefer longer videos that have 5-6 chaffle variations? Thanks for your input!

Going back and rewatching a lot of the old experimental recipe videos. Still love them. KETO NERDS love cooking science.

[@RememberMeYeah]

Suggestion: My favourite because the lupin flour adds fibre and protein and removing the yolk gets rid of the eggy flavour and is very crispy ▫️Instead of 1 whole egg use 3 tablespoons of egg whites (container of egg whites) ▫️1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese ▫️1/4 tsp xanthan gum ▫️1 Tbsp of lupin flour Hope you try it.

Ive been making keto ice cream which uses egg yolks so I've had alot of egg whites leftover. I've been using them in my chaffles and have found that the chaffle has less of an eggy taste. I also discovered adding the nutritional yeast and some garlic powder, pepper and onion powder really added a nice flavor. Then tonight I added a little shake of rosemary. Wow was that delicious. Keep up the great work. Love your honest reactions.

[@SeriousKeto]

I'll have to try egg white only. I've been freezing egg whites (in an ice cube tray) that are left over from recipes that just call for yolks. This could be a good way to use them up. Thanks for the suggestion. And yeah, nutritional yeast is a huge flavor booster...😋

You were right. Chaffles are a KETO-man's game changer! Made them with walnuts and cream cheese today in the blender. (A HUGE hit!) I did spray the iron for them, although the 1st one without spray did not stick. Thank you for caring about my knuckles. God bless you! Bonnie

[@katieirish5765]

Nice Experiment! Thank you for testing these out for us! Here's my favorite Chaffle recipe (so far) - I make a baking mix of the following; 2T Coconut flour 2T Oat Fiber 2 T Whole Psyllium 2T Isopure (whey) 2T Nutritional yeast2T Erythritol 1/2 C Ground Pork rinds 1T Collagen (Great Lakes Red) 1T Baking Powder 1/2t Pink salt I mix this together and keep it in a jar. Then I take 3 tablespoons and mix it with 1/4 cup of egg whites to make a basic mix. You can do a lot with this. As I posted before, I use the Sargento Ultra Thin sliced cheese when making my chaffles. Lay a slice on the hot iron, top with the baking mix and top with another slice - 3-4 minutes does the job. Crispy on the outside, soft in the center. Pizza Chaffle - add to the mixture, ground sausage, sweet peppers, onions (all precooked) chopped pepperoni and Italian seasonings. The Sargento Ultra Thin provolone is wonderful with it - lay the cheese down first, then the mix (you can flatten it out first) then top with another slice. 3-4 minutes - they are wonderful. Hope this was okay to post.

I blend all in my Vitamix and then pour into my chaffle maker. This recipe serves 1 and makes 4-6 chaffles depending on how much batter you use each time. A little higher in carbs than the standard mozzarella and egg base chaffle but much more like a 'regular' waffle in both taste and texture. I top with ChocZero maple syrup.

I'd be interested to know how much your 1/2 cup of mozzarella actually weighs in grams. I grate my own cheese with a small-holed grater which would obviously fit much more cheese than if I used a wider-holed grater. It could be almost double the weight. Cups are so imprecise - it could easily be the difference between a success and a failure. By the way, Xantham gum is not a bad addition if you are using almond or coconut flour in your recipe. Even a little bit of baking powder helps to make them lighter but you have to be careful not to overfill. Good additions are Italian seasoning, salt, chilli flakes, etc. Psyllium husk works well, definitely. Thank you for your experiments. They're very helpful, especially when it comes to buying new ingredients for the keto pantry.

For the first round where you add thickeners to the mix, do you think you waited long enough to let the thickener take action? I know when I've added xanthan gum into baked goods in the past, I've had to give it time to let the gum do its thing. In a similar vein, I've added beef gelatin to many a baked good and, after giving it time to rest, it made the batter significantly thicker and gave it a thicker, chewier texture to the final product as well. For something with just a single egg, I might add 1/3-1/2 Tbsp of gelatin if it's something you think you'd want to try. Thanks again for these videos! I was curious about the nutritional yeast, so I'm glad to hear it's the win I was hopeful that it might be.

[@SeriousKeto]

I've found that xanthan gum takes very little time to do its job (like a matter of seconds when there's liquid involved), though it's possible that vital wheat gluten could take longer. Thanks for the gelatin idea. I've been trying out the pizza chaffle and am still on a quest to find one where the crust has the right balance of crispy and chewy. Gelatin might be worth a try...

Try adding 2 tbsp pork panko (Amazon). I really like the texture it gives it but I’m curious to see what you think. I also did the chopped jalapeños tonight and it was really good. Just FYI, I started adding just a couple pinches of shredded cheddar cheese directly onto the iron first and then added my mixture of mozzarella and egg. It definitely gives one side a much crunchy or text you when it’s done.

[@SeriousKeto]

Pork panko is on my list of the 5-6 things I'll compare in the next "basic" chaffle video. I think they'd be great in a waffle (chaffle) bowl with some pepper jack cheese to make a taco bowl (also on my list of pending videos). Thanks for the comment!

[@johnk9352]

Hey, so I've been doing a fair amount of waffle/chaffle experimenting on my own, and I think I have a condition that might lend itself to seeing where the xanthan gum can really shine. If you mix the ingredients in a nutribullet style blender with the addition of xanthan gum, it will hold onto air much better than if mixed without the gum, otherwise the ingredient doesn't really get to shine through. Not necessarily saying it will yield a more flavorful result, but it will definitely be much more voluminous and puffy (if that's your thing).

[@SeriousKeto]

Actually, I'm really into food science, and what you say is absolutely true. Not only is xanthan gum thixatropic, it also suspends air bubbles (I found this out when making a keto simple syrup in the blender). I always debate how "tricky" I want to get for my chaffle recipes, as it seems a lot of folks are more about convenience. Thanks for the comment!

I bought a wish waffle bowl...if you have one would apprecuate some of your awesome recipenideas!

[@SeriousKeto]

I have one on my kitchen table. My plan is to try some variations on a taco waffle bowl (or chowl) next week.

[@cvilla5668]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@MsAtlantagal]

Love your videos on chaffles. However I would like to see you try it a different way. A lot of chaffle makers are putting a little bit of the cheese separately on the bottom waiting for about 20 seconds and then putting the egg mixture on top of that and then putting another small handful of cheese on top. I find it makes it crispier and oh so good!

[@SeriousKeto]

I do that on some recipes, depending on what I'm using the chaffle for. In fact I'll be doing one in a few minutes (I'm just taking a break from filming right now) that is a Cubano sandwich, with Swiss baked on the outsides of each "bun".

[@katsheetz]

just watched the movie "Chef" , again. .... A Cubano sounds muy muy yum

Oh yeah. And also: 1 Tbsp coconut powder is way too much (I think that was the prior vid) -- 1 tsp is far more reasonable (use about 1/3 as much as almond flour) -- no wonder it came out solid (and probably dry). I do a lot of keto cooking with no grains, seeds or nuts. So far, a blend of a little coconut meal, a little flavored protein powder, and some kind of spices depending on what I'm making (sweet or savory) -- sometimes with a tiny bit of oat fiber (or sometimes flax seed meal even though I don't normally eat seeds, I've tried that) -- comes out well in other things. Just some ideas. Flax is a common thing in the LC world. Last! would some butter make it crispier at all? Because in real waffles, adding more sweetener and more fats is the diff b/t that and pancakes.

PJ I’ve done a lot of baking over the years before going Keto. I’m still learning how all of these non-flour ingredients behave. These videos are truly me doing experiments and learning as I go. Thanks for you input!

[@libertygal]

It sounds like maybe the sour cream might be a good addition to a cheesy garlic bread Chaffle?

[@SeriousKeto]

I'm think so. I won't be able to test that until next week, so if you beat me to it, let me know.

[@libertygal]

Serious Keto ... and maybe nutritional yeast

[@lavishawilson]

your giving me #Ryanseacrest vibes your look n voice! thanks for sharing❤

[@SeriousKeto]

I'm flattered. Thank you.

[@avlivinggolden]

Please do and experiment on fathead dough! I cant wait!🙂

[@SeriousKeto]

I have been experimenting with it a bit. I just find it terribly dense. In a waffle maker, that means the outside gets overdone while the inside is underdone.

[@ValKuulei]

are you employed in broadcasting? you certainly have the voice for it!

[@SeriousKeto]

I am not, and thank you for saying so. 🙂

A lighter, less dense chaffle, is needed. The biggest problem with many chaffles is that they are too dense and filling to use as a hamburger bun or for sandwiches. Here's my solution for hamburger bun and sandwich bread replacement with a lighter, less dense, chaffle. Ingredients: - 4 oz. (wt.) of finely shredded mozzarella - 5 oz. (vol.) of egg whites - 4 oz. (vol.) water - 1/8 cup flax meal - 1/8 cup coconut flour - 1/8 cup finely crushed pork rinds - 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast - 1/2 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder - 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder - salt to taste - 3 drops of liquid stevia Steps: - thoroughly mix dry ingredients - add wet ingredients to the dry and mix thoroughly - add cheese to the mixture and mix until thoroughly combined - (hand mixer recommended, especially if scaled up for a large batch). - let mixture set for 5 minutes, then stir, and then repeat until the moisture has been absorbed and the mixture has thickened and isn't runny (about 15 min). - cook in mini dash, about 5-6 min each - makes 8 chaffles

[@palyne]

Oh heck one more! ;-) Eggs vs. egg-whites (like in carton). Less eggy? More crispy??

[@SeriousKeto]

PJ I think it would depend on if you whipped the egg whites.

[@palyne]

I love these videos thanks! The speed of speech is good (I watch it at 1.5x speed, but it's nice at realtime for most people. Love your radio/announcer voice. ;-) Ideal: make a link to each of the videos in the series in the description part of your video. Question: you did psyllium husk POWDER in the first video, and psyllium husk in the second -- are these the same? Also: 'oat fiber' is zero carb and light and can add some dry-meal to keto baking, might be interesting to see how that works out. I'll be trying some lots-of-things-together recipe experiments, but you are saving me a lot of time and trouble by going through the basics like this. Thanks! :-)

[@SeriousKeto]

PJ I probably should have been more clear - whenever I’ve said psyllium husk, it’s the powder.

[@dyesswoman]

Bwahahahahah "This taste like regret." That cracked me up!

[@MarnysCrochetandCrafts]

I'm wondering what oat fiber would do to the taste or texture, but since I don't have my little waffle maker as of yet, I can't try it out.

[@libertygal]

That’s another one of those odd keto baking ingredients I have on hand but have not tried using yet.

[@MarnysCrochetandCrafts]

@@libertygal I used to use it quite a bit when I was making a lot of baked goods. I don't use it as much now but I always have it on hand. It kind of gives baked goods a little bit of a flour-like mouth feel.

[@SeriousKeto]

I have a notebook where I'm capturing everyone's suggestions. Oat fiber will be part of my next "base" chaffle experiment video (along with 4 or 5 other ingredients I haven't tried out yet). That video is probably a week or two away, based on my backlog and the quantity of chaffle taste tests I can handle per day. 😀

[@sandys7118]

Could the commenter mean to use baking powder? I have seen a few recipes with baking powder to create a rise and more bready type texture.

[@SeriousKeto]

No. I used baking soda because the leavening in baking soda is triggered by acid, and sour cream is acidic. So the use was intentional, but the results were disastrous. 😄

[@xfactor3000]

How about a Focaccia Chaffle?

[@SeriousKeto]

I would do it just so I could say "Fochaffle" in a video. I feel like I just beat Snoop Dogg in inventing a word. 😄

[@gattamom]

With rosemary and black olives!

[@KCCAT5]

I used to put vital wheat gluten in my bread when I made a low-carb bread. It was explained to me that the gluten would provide elasticity. I miss my bread LOL

[@SeriousKeto]

I first used it in a Neapolitan pizza crust from Modernist Cuisine to add chew while maintaining the crispiness of the crust. Generally it is scaled at a ratio .5% to 1% of the weight of your primary flour, however, I tried a keto hamburger bun that used (I believe) a full quarter cup. Incidentally, both times I tried that recipe, my results were not the light fluffy buns this particular KZbinr was showing.

You have to let the yeast work before you cook it in order to get the yeasty taste.

Is there a egg yolk only chaffle?

[@rocksavage9987]

I have a suggestion for a sausage chaffle. Many years ago I had a slice of sausage cake which had a spicy flavor.

[@SeriousKeto]

So sausage cooked into the chaffle? If so, I can think of a couple of variations -- a sausage McGriddle chaffle (so sausage, maple and cheese) or a "biscuits and gravy" chaffle. And just typing that made my stomach growl.

[@charisetriggiano3355]

Thank you for the videos! Would you try the yeast again and let it sit and develop. I think that may be the reason for the lack of change

[@SeriousKeto]

But without any sugar to feed on, I don't know that sitting would do it any good. I suppose I could try it with some inulin to get the yeast to react....

[@charisetriggiano3355]

Serious Keto ahhhh good point....

[@juliesalinas6047]

@@SeriousKeto maybe allulose? it's a rare sugar, but a sugar, so maybe the yeast would find it yummy?

Sounds to me like the sour cream and yeast chaffle might work well for a pizza crust.
