Oreo Chaffle Showdown - Which is the Best Keto Waffle?

[@JonathanCastro-rc2xl]

We take waffles seriously in our house kzbin.infoUgkxUfphIgghPSpAXNq6OG2WRYsFVqylcqMn and worked our old one through many years of Sunday brunches till it finally gave out on us. Our old one only made two at a time, this one makes four! Nicely sized 1 inch thick which are lovely! Now the kids don't have to wait as long to eat our weekly waffle breakfast and everyone's are hot if we wait and eat all together! Setting 3 seems to work perfect for golden brown. Be sure to pour the batter in the center of each waffle square, not the center of the iron like the novice that posted the scorched waffles photo. About a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter in each seemed to work well for us. We tested making just one at a time so we could use all the remaining batter and it made it just as fluffy and golden as when we made 4!

The cupcake Chaffle is awesome in flavor, but a little on the dry side in texture. I substituted sour Cream for the Heavy Whipping Cream and it greatly improved the texture to a cake-like texture! Thanks for this video share!

[@jenericstewart]

THANK YOU! turned out great with sour cream!

[@alexandrakreiman2115]

I tried the second one. It was great! I made it tonight and I was too lazy to get out the waffle iron, so I zapped it 90 seconds and made a mug cake. Yummy cupcake texture!

[@SeriousKeto]

That's good info. I'll have to try that. Thanks! 😀

[@donnam5891]

Funny, I have a mug cake recipe from Mad Creations Hub that I made in my waffle maker last night 😊 I can't wait to try these chocolate chaffles. Thanks

[@deskjockie4948]

One of my favorite pre-keto desserts was a Hostess Cupcake. This keto version uses no almond flour, which is high in oxalates that bind with magnesium in my body and precipitate torturous cramps in my feet. This recipe makes four multi-mini chaffles if divided evenly between the four wells, and makes a delicious snack when filled with the icing. I added a cup of ice cold "milk', which is ice water with a splash of heavy whipping cream. Thank you, Steve, for sharing KCCat5's recipe!

[@maribelecheverria1330]

Right, in my case almond flour makes me have nausea and stomach cramples. So weird. I use coconut of lupin flour instead. Flavor isn't the same, but I'm happy I can have alternatives to cook in keto😊

[@KevboKev]

These looked so good, but I have learned my lesson with keto desserts. They send me down a dark path that is hard to come back from (over-eating keto desserts). I tend to stick to me savory meals, but this does look damn good!!!

[@9929kingfish]

I understand. I’m on that train now

[@SRose-vp6ew]

The only time I will have a keto dessert is if I’m going someplace that will serve desserts. At that point, I think ahead and I make one portion size of my keto dessert and I eat it before I even go to the party. Then I remind myself that I had my keto dessert and focus on savory stuff at the party, bringing something delicious like spinach, artichoke dip, and sliced peppers for the dipping is also a way to make sure I have food. However, I was thinking about this year bringing powdered Erythritol mixed with black cocoa powder, a drop of mint, and cream cheese to Christmas this year as truffles. Hence, how I stumbled upon this video. I hope you’re doing well with your health. Remember the holidays are probably the easiest time to focus on Health because while everyone else is gaining it feels like double results as your losing and enjoying the savory holiday foods and fun cooking ideas to make things like mint truffles and garlic butter mashed potatoes keto.

[@astrocross180]

LOL I love it when people tell people straight up doesn't matter what you call it what matters is that you're giving us a recipe thank you for being down to earth and for all your hard work I've been watching you ever since I became a diabetic like two years ago and now is when I'm starting to leave all the people that I watch messages just so you know that I watch you thank you for all your hard work!!!!!!!

[@KCCAT5]

Thank you Steve I wish I could take credit for the recipe I don't know who originated it it's been passed around my Facebook group for months now. Whoever came up with it kudos to them

[@SeriousKeto]

Well, you gave me the recipe, so you get the credit as far as I'm concerned. 👍

[@bfontana1233]

It’s been the one I’ve seen the most also KCCAT. Thanks Steve for doing both in a comparison vid.. Like you said, I think it’s the black vs the dark cocoa plus the instant coffee that makes the first more oreo-like. That said, I could also be down for a hostess ho ho or hostess cupcake anytime.

the simpler recipe is heaven in my mouth. The best thing I have put in my mouth during my keto journey. Thank you for all you do for us

[@joannandersen6428]

I know it wouldn’t taste like an Oreo but I’m assuming you could use just the regular cocoa for a lighter chocolate taste? Wonder if you’d have to change anything about the recipe?

[@juanantoniogonzalez8175]

Once again bro you nailed this video IMHO. You went straight to the recipes and the ingredients for both. I liked that you were not bias. You gave a balanced review and that's what it's about. Simplicity is your strength. Thanks.

[@ShannonSonriseFamilyFarm]

Made these for Valentine’s Day today! With strawberries and whipped cream They were just absolutely awesome! Thankyou!

[@medawson01]

I just made a plain chaffle for the first time this morning--just cheese, eggs and seasonings. It was very good. I'm going to make a different chaffle each day using your recipes. Thank you.

This hit the sweet spot! Thanks so much. Was about to fold at 9PM for something bad. This saved the day. 😋👍🏻

[@traceypowers4341]

You're very relaxing to listen to! Really enjoy the videos and appreciate the side by side comparisons.

[@TravelingSag]

The second one is my fav - just made it and forgot the cream - it was still delish!!

[@SeriousKeto]

Glad you liked it!

[@RainbowZen999]

I used to read cookbooks like they were novels. The good ones anyway. For example, I learned a lot about the history of Japan that way. And "Spoonbread & Strawberry Wine is the history, thru food, of one African American family. And Fanny Farmers Cooking School Cookbook is a deep dive in cooking knowledge & lore. ANYway, I sometimes watch your videos w/a somewhat similar attitude. I don't know if I'd ever actually make, "Oreo", chaffles, but your intelligent attitude, and mellifluous voice make for interesting viewing. So thanks for the uploads.

[@SeriousKeto]

Thank you.

[@brianmccoy9708]

I gota say out of all the people ivecwatched with keto recipes you are my favorite you make it easy

[@belindacinca7275]

I know this is a year old, but I just found your channel. I want to thank you! The simple version of this was the 2nd thing I made in my Dash (after the best white bread) and it was fantastic! It was so chocolatey and satisfying, that I ate one with some of the cream cheese spread on it, and I was totally happy and satisfied. Put the other two away for tomorrow. Game changer! P.S.... I purchased the whisk thru your link, and I hope you get a little something for it. I feel like I owe you!

[@kathleenreyes4345]

Thanks Steve for making the comparison!!

[@lenarenee6039]

I definitely want to try the second one, Hostess Cupcakes were always my favorite pre-keto! I have been missing them! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@positivewoman5454]

I made the second Chaffee. I put 1 teaspoon of homemade vanilla in the batter. I made a frosting with heavy whipping cream , 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tblsp of Yacon Syrup. I drizzled some of the Yacon syrup on the waffles with a little butter and topped it with the cream and ate with quarter cup of frozen blueberries.

[@SeriousKeto]

That just made my stomach growl. 😄

He is out of town on a job, but when he gets home we're going to have fun making these recipes for us both to enjoy. I did go and watch the video you linked. He will love the blueberry one too. Thank you for sharing, an I will be watching for more comparison videos.

Buying black cocoa! I'm excited! I also am getting all my other Amazon things via your link! Doing what I can to support your channel! Thank you for your content!

[@SeriousKeto]

I appreciate it. 🙂

[@barbsmith5901]

I made the second one tonight using the mini griddle instead of mini waffle iron. Really enjoyed the texture, but the cake was way too sweet for either of us. Will try again but will cut the sweetness.

[@SeriousKeto]

I think the griddle would be perfect for making these as ice cream sandwiches. I need to develop a filling that's somewhere between ice cream and frosting that doesn't turn rock hard when frozen (which has been the case with every keto ice cream recipe I've tried).

[@Gauge1LiveSteam]

The cupcake chaffle is wonderful. Make these and your wife will like you again. Ordered some black cocoa for the oreo version

[@marysusa6985]

I made the easy Oreo chaffle and it was a perfect sweet, easy treat that I will enjoy making when I need a delicious sweet low carb treat. Love it! Thank you for testing and sharing these recipes with us!!

[@SeriousKeto]

glad you liked it.

[@godessamongwomen]

Did the second version. Once cooled and assembled, tasted bitter with chocolate. Not edible. Doubles the recipe. Cut cocoa in half and made it a blend of black and regular cocoa. Added extra tbsp of sweetener and 1tsp coconut flour. Made it in mini Bundt maker (cooks at lower temp, but for longer, about 8 minutes). Was a little batter left over. Came out like a dream.

[@Grooovie725]

I watched a couple of your videos at this point and I have to say that I love you! I follow a ton of keto KZbinrs and you are no nonsense, no fluff and I love that. I hate waiting 10 minutes to get to the damn recipe! LOL I’m a new follower!

[@SeriousKeto]

Thank you. I try to keep the recipe the "star" of the show and only talk a lot of there's a disclaimer or food science explanation I feel would be helpful.

[@CarrieArt7]

Your egg beat/whisker is so cool, I've never seen that before

[@SeriousKeto]

Yeah, I love it. If you're trying to froth egg whites, it takes mere seconds.

[@LauraNewton]

This was soooo good. It really hit the sweet tooth spot! I added a little Sweet drops english toffee stevia drops to the frosting. OMG delicious! Thanks for the recipe Steve and KCCat5.

[@Gauge1LiveSteam]

The black cocoa arrived. These are truly wonderful. Well worth ordering the special cocoa powder. Go light on the frosting to enjoy the chocolate flavor

[@karenlatham4053]

I made the second one. My batter seemed really thin. The first one that I poured a whole bunch of it came out the side lol. Oops I used cacao. Next time I think I'll use a little less sweetener. I guess because I don't eat sweets anymore it was a bit overpowering. It was really good though. I ate it all lol.

[@SeriousKeto]

I find that over the last several months, my desire for sweets has plummeted too.

[@karlanielsen8896]

I made the chaffles with the black cocoa powder and instant coffee powder. I also made the frosting you mentioned. The chaffles were delicious, but to me the frosting was awful. I think the reason for that is because in the twenty-two years I have been eating low carb the only sweetener I have ever used is pure sucralose, which tastes much better than the Swerve in the recipe. I bought the Swerve because I started watching low carb videos and decided to try the confectioners type. When I made these chaffles was the first time I tried the Swerve.

[@SeriousKeto]

Swerve (erythritol) was the popular sweetener in the keto community at the time I made this video.

[@karlanielsen8896]

So what's more popular now? BTW I am really enjoying watching your videos. I love experimenting with low carb cooking. My biggest successes have been ice cream that is rich and creamy and stays that way in the freezer, plus sugar free tempered chocolate that starts with 100 percent Belgian chocolate and cocoa butter, plus a few other ingredients that turn those into yummy candies with 1.25 grams of carbs each.

[@SeriousKeto]

For frosting, I’d use powdered BochaSweet. It’s very expensive though.

[@asaintpi]

For these, you can definitely call them "Chaffles" CHocolate waffles lol

[@kamarbazarek8881]

I'm Glad the chaffle recipe from KCCAT5 worked out well, cause I'm Not gonna spend that much money on black cocoa powder. Thanks for the recipe and thanks for all the research you put into these recipes.

[@Puglover130]

If you live in canada, at the bulk barn, the black cocoa powder costs exactly the same as the regular cocoa powder. The only cocoa powder that costs more was the premium “red” cocoa powder.

[@margomack37]

Did the 2nd recipe use regular Cocoa Powder or the Black Cocoa powder?

[@moonglow000]

You have that DJ voice over the radio. Lol love it!

[@TheeRustyCage]

I love these and the black cocoa powder is the key here

[@lorim.4136]

Update: For a Christmas Afternoon Tea, I made a cherry cordial version! I added a bit of almond extract to the batter and cherry extract to the frosting along with organic red (well burgundy) food coloring. It was well received at the tea and definitely reminds me of the holiday candy.

[@kimborders3816]

I just tried to make the Oreo chaffel using herseys special dark cocoa powder for one batch and Ghirardelli‘s for another batch. They tasted ok but ultimately a flop. Not sure what I did wrong besides the black cocoa. Didn’t have any. I’m gonna try again.

[@TheEMC99]

I made the keto oreo cookie recipe online. I used Dutch process cocoa. My husband (the oreo addict) said the exact same thing. Lol It tastes like a hostess cupcake. Smh. It was a ton of work too. I might give the chaffles a try.

[@SeriousKeto]

The black cocoa powder really brings the Oreo flavor. However, it's kind of expensive for an ingredient that you'll only use when trying to make something Oreo flavored.

It does have cheese! Cream cheese is a soft CHEESE. For those who can’t have cream cheese you can take Greek unflavored yogurt and salt it put in strainer with cheese cloth and set aside 24 hours. It will thicken like cream cheese and taste like cream cheese or sour cream.

The first recipe is really good but I feel like you forgot a couple of ingredients. I added about 2 tbsp of almond flour and 1 tsp of baking soda. I've tried both versions and my version is soo delicious it's just like chocolate oreo cake. Also I use only a half tbsp of monkfruit/erythritol blend sweetener for the batter and frosting and it comes out just fine. 😄

Might i recommend using almond extract instead of vanilla, it gives more of the authentic cream filling flavor of the oreo LOVE you channel 😘 😘
