Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray (for waffle iron)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, flaxseed (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Carefully spoon the cauliflower mixture into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 3–5 minutes or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the chaffle carefully and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with a side of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, or any other toppings of your choice.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, make sure to squeeze the cauliflower rice as dry as possible before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can cook the mixture in a skillet over medium heat, flipping once golden brown on both sides.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for added flavor.
