For the chocolate waffles:
Wholesome Yum Almond Flour – Adds body to the waffle batter, without the grittiness of other almond flours (this one is the finest consistency out there!). You can also substitute 2 teaspoons of coconut flour.Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – Creates a sweet flavor that mixes easily into the batter. You can also substitute erythritol or another keto sweetener, but the texture may be grittier.Wholesome Yum Psyllium Husk Powder – Helps the chocolate chaffle be a bit chewy… like real waffles! Plus, it adds a natural boost of fiber, and mine won’t turn baked goods purple like some other brands do.Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – This cheese has the best flavor profile (read: neutral) for oreo chaffles, and helps them get crispy.Egg – Use a whole, large egg. A flax egg may also work.Butter – Adds moisture to the batter. You can also use coconut oil instead.Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Creates a rich, chocolaty flavor. Use the best quality one you can.Vanilla Extract – Enhances the sweetness.Baking Powder – Helps the oreo chaffle rise.
For the cream cheese frosting:
Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This confectioners-style sweetener creates a smooth, sweet, and fluffy frosting.Cream Cheese – For the most keto-friendly chocolate chaffle, choose a full-fat variety.Vanilla ExtractHeavy Cream – Coconut cream will also work.
