Pepperoni Pizza Chaffles
Makes Two low-Carb Pizzas
Some of you may know that I have started back on a descent eating regime, and the first I have done is removed carbs from my diet. Yup, I have switched from a high-carb diet to a low-carb diet, and for the past five weeks, I have removed 99% of all pasta, bread, rice, chips, crackers, and potato from my plate. As an Italian, giving up bread & pasta is harder than getting a 6yr old out of Baskin & Robins with just a dry bag of Cheerios! So I hunted the internet for low-carb options, and this thing called a Chaffle was popping up all over the place.
I want to thank everyone in the Low Carb Recipes & Advice Facebook Group for all the different ideas. I have many more recipes to conger up form their suggestions and will be posting them here in the coming weeks.
While not the texture of a think-crust pizza, the Almond Flour does give the Chaffle a chewier texture than without. They taste awesome and with a verity of different ingredients, these will definitely satisfy that pizza craving!

Chaffles are a quick cooked egg and cheese batter made on a mini waffle maker that forms the basis for dozens of inspiration for meals and desserts! From cinnamon waffle chaffles to basic two-ingredient easy low-carb chaffles, to pizza chaffles, or even chaffle breakfast sandwiches, the chaffle has become my new favorite go-to “bread” replacement.
While not the texture of a think-crust pizza, the Almond Flour does give the Chaffle a chewier texture than without.

Ingredients
- 1 egg, Egg
- 10 slices, Pepperoni Slices
- 1/8 tsp, Italian Seasoning
- 1/8 tsp, Spices, garlic powder
- 1 tbsp, Almond Flour
- 3/4 cup, Mozzarella Cheese
- 3 tbsps, Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce
Instructions
- Heat up the Mini Waffle Maker and pre-heat the oven on broil
- Mix Egg, 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning and almond flourtogether in a bowl (makes enough for 2 Chaffles)
- Pour 1/2 the batter into the mini waffle maker and cook until it stops steaming
- Remove the chaffle and make the second one
- Put the chaffles onto a wire rack on a cookie sheet
- Spread the marinara sauce on the chaffles and add the rest of the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni
- Broil in the Oven (or Toaster Oven) until the cheese is melted
- Let cool and serve
Notes
- This does make two Chaffle Pizzas.
- The Mini-Waffle Irons can be found on Amazon for under $10 bucks. If you are cooking for more than one person, it's worth getting two.
- Pull the Chaffle as soon as it stops steaming so that it does not overcook. Remember that it is still going in the broiler and will cook a bit more in there.
- If you want a little more crunchy crust, add some raw mozzarella to the bottom of the waffle iron before adding your batter.
