FAQs

Q: Can I bake these instead of using a chaffle maker?
A: Yes. Place coated rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden, about 10–12 minutes, flipping once.

Q: Can I make these ahead and freeze them?
A: You can freeze cooked rings on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Reheat from frozen in an air fryer or oven until hot and crisp.

Q: What if the batter is too thin or too thick?
A: If too thin, add a little more almond flour. If too thick, add one more egg or a splash of water to loosen it.

Q: Can I use pork rinds instead of almond flour?
A: You can crush pork rinds and mix with the cheese for a different texture, but follow the same basic method.
