Breakfast Chaffle Bowl

This Breakfast Chaffle Bowl is an easy keto meal! Just 2.5 net carbs and perfect for low carb meal prep.

 

These cute little Breakfast Chaffle Bowls are surprisingly filling and perfect for a keto meal prep breakfast! The chaffle bowl is made using the Dash Mini Waffle Bowl Maker and a recipe similar to a normal keto chaffle. These gluten-free, keto-friendly bread bowls can be made ahead of time, making sure you have a quick breakfast ready when you are!

What are keto chaffles?

These “cheese chaffles” are primarily cheese and egg, making a waffle much lower in carbs than regular waffles. They often are made with a Dash Mini Waffle Maker because the 4″ size is great for snacking and making sandwiches. They can be a bit eggy and dense with only two ingredients, though, so I prefer to add almond flour and baking powder for a more bread-like texture and neutral flavor.

• Chaffle bowl: Click here for the tutorial and recipe for a chaffle bowl. It requires almond flour, baking powder, shredded cheese, and eggs.
• Scrambled egg (cooked): If you prefer vegan eggs or scrambled tofu, simply prepare as usual to substitute.
• Ham (cooked): I used thick-cut. You could use deli ham, country ham, whatever you prefer. You could also use cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage, bacon, or mushrooms if you’re not a fan of ham.
• Shredded cheese: I used cheddar, but you could use mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend of your favorites.
• Salt and pepper to taste

How do I make a chaffle bowl?

You will need this Mini Waffle Bowl maker for this recipe. Once you start using it you will quickly become addicted to this clever little gadget!

Start by mixing your chaffle bowl ingredients (find ingredients and tips here). Scoop chaffle batter into the preheated machine and close to cook for 4-5 minutes or until the steam stops coming from the waffle maker. Once it’s done, remove the bowl and repeat with the remaining batter. Once all bowls are cooked, fill each one with scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese.

Are Breakfast Chaffle Bowls good for keto meal prep?

Yes, this is PERFECT for keto meal prep! You can make the chaffle bowls up to 4 days ahead of time and store them in the fridge, then you can simply toast or air fry them to crisp them up when you’re ready. You can even store them in the freezer up to 3 months (just be careful–They are brittle when frozen and can break easily).

The scrambled eggs can be made 3-4 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge as well. Go ahead and shred your cheese, cut your ham, and you’ve got breakfast waiting in the fridge anytime. I don’t recommend assembling the bowls until you’re ready to eat. You could store all of the filling together in an airtight container and the bowl in a ziplock bag, then just reheat and assemble!

Tips for the BEST Breakfast Chaffle Bowl:

• When making your chaffle bowl, do not overfill the maker. Two tablespoons is all it takes, and overfilling will cause a pretty big mess.
• Customize your fillings for your own preferences! Switch out the ham for bacon or chicken if you’d like. Use pepper jack cheese and add hot sauce if you like it spicy!
• Reheat chaffles in the air fryer or toaster oven to crisp them up. You can also zap them in the microwave, but they get a bit soggy.
• Try different cheeses both in the chaffle bowl and as a filling! Cheddar, gouda, mozzarella… There are so many different options you can try!
