FAQs
Q: Can I use all-purpose flour instead of almond flour?
A: You can, but it changes the texture and carbs. Almond flour keeps it low-carb and gives a good texture.
Q: Can I freeze chaffle fries?
A: You can freeze them after cooking. Place in a single layer on a tray, freeze, then move to a bag. Reheat from frozen in an oven or air fryer.
Q: My chaffles are soggy. What went wrong?
A: They may need more cook time or a hotter waffle maker. Also make sure not to crowd the waffle maker and let them brown fully.
Q: Can I bake the batter instead of using a waffle maker?
A: You can try baking in a thin layer on a sheet, but you will not get the same waffle texture. An oven or air fryer can crisp them well.
