Zucchini fritter chaffles, or courgette waffles if you’re in the UK or down under, are so tasty. They’re also quick and easy to rustle up.
A chaffle is a mini version of a waffle, which you can make with a chaffle maker. You could also use a regular size waffle maker – just add more of the mixture.
There are many savory chaffle recipes to choose from, but zucchini (or courgette!) is an especially great ingredient. The following recipe includes broccoli although you can put any veggies in there you want. Or you can leave out the broccoli and just make courgette chaffles.
They’re nice served with a dollop of sour cream on top and perhaps some snipped chives or parsley if you like as well.
Since a chaffle is technically a waffle-shaped item made with cheese (hence the name), it tastes of cheese.
However, there are different kinds, so the flavor you get depends on the ingredients you use. There are even sweet versions.

What are Chaffles Made of?
Mozzarella and eggs are usually the main ingredients but, apart from those, you can add in anything you like.
How Many Carbs are in Chaffles?
Depends what’s in there! Many chaffle recipes have between 1 and 3 carbs apiece.
How Do You Pronounce Chaffle?
Pretty much just as it’s written: CHAH-ful.
Zucchini Fritter Chaffles: Are They Healthy?
They’re a nice source of Vitamins A and B12, as well as choline and iron. The protein in the eggs also makes them good for you, plus they aren’t deep-fried either. They’re a great keto-friendly recipe to keep you satisfied.
Is a Chaffle Maker the Same as a Waffle Maker?
It works the same way except it’s a smaller size. This is handy if you want to make a couple of small zucchini waffles as a side dish rather than one large one.
How Long Do Chaffles Keep?
You can keep them for 4 to 5 days as long as they’re in the refrigerator. Reheat your zucchini fritter chaffles with a toaster oven, regular toaster or in the oven.
Actually some varieties won’t be good reheated in a toaster (namely those with melty ingredients which can make a real mess). Alternatively you can simply pop your chaffle back in the chaffle maker!
Help! Why is My Chaffle Sticking?
This usually means they need more cooking time. They aren’t yet done.
Although these don’t go exactly ‘crispy’ like a flour-based waffle would, they aren’t done until they’re golden, so give them a little longer then try to take it out using a fork.
