If you haven’t heard of the term “chaffle” yet
It's the latest craze that has taken the diabetes community by storm!
A chaffle is basically a cheese and egg alternative to bread, cooked in a mini (or regular, just adjust recipes accordingly) waffle maker that can be used for anything from breakfast foods straight through to your after-dinner treat. It basically acts as a base to any creative concoction you can conjure up.
Why are people with diabetes so excited about chaffles?
Well for one, those of us who love to experiment with new low-carb options now have this new blank canvas to create from. But more importantly, this latest cooking invention can also help keep your blood sugars in check straight from morning till night! That's good news!
But you don't have to be diabetic to enjoy them, why not give them a try!

Blueberries, not only are they delicious and nutritious but they also have one of the highest antioxidant levels amongst all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings.
Blueberries are low in carbs and therefore do not have a significant impact on blood glucose levels, making them a good choice for diabetics.
Blueberries can also be frozen without reducing any of their antioxidant properties or delicate structure. So pick up those on offer in the supermarket and get them in the freezer ... now that's a good idea!

...Chaffles seem to be the rage, I should try them.
Chaffles are a very, very clever invention.

These sound very delicious! Valerie
I'd love to try this as I'm always looking for a way to cut carbs. can almond flour be used instead of coconut flour?

I need to remember and ask my daughter if she knows about these...she isn't diabetic but she watches her carbs.
How does the cheese taste with blueberries and cream? I think I hall have to try these.
They look delicious. I could easily down a few right now! :)
I bought a little waffle maker - I just have to do it!
What other flour can you use besides coconut flour?
we call them waffles
They look delicious, especially with the blueberries.
That's a great idea, freezing blueberries, thank you Jan.
These look delicious, I'll have to buy a waffle iron again.
Thanks Jan and have a lovely weekend.

Hello Erika, and thanks for your comment and question.
This recipe works well and it's a little like the low carb pancake on the link below, even though you use cheese they do not taste of cheese.

Enjoy your chaffles and perhaps a low carb pancake too.
All the best Jan
