Ultimate Keto Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chaffle Sandwich
If you have been on the keto diet for more than five minutes, you have probably heard the legend of the 'Chaffle'—a cheese waffle that has completely revolutionized low-carb bread replacements. Today, we are taking that crispy, cheesy foundation and marrying it with the fiery, tangy goodness of buffalo chicken. This recipe is not just a meal; it is a texture bomb. You get the crunch from the mozzarella-based waffle, the creaminess from the melted buffalo chicken filling, and that signature spicy kick that wakes up your metabolism. Packed with high-quality protein and essential fats, this sandwich keeps you in ketosis while satisfying those intense cravings for pub-style comfort food. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a game-day lunch that won't wreck your macros. Forget soggy lettuce wraps; this is the handheld keto hero you have been waiting for.
The Masterplan
Preheat your mini waffle maker. If using a standard size waffle iron, the recipe will make 1 large waffle which you can cut in half.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder until smooth.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until combined. This is your chaffle batter.
Spray the waffle maker lightly with non-stick spray. Pour half of the batter into the center and close the lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter to make the second chaffle. Place cooked chaffles on a wire rack to crisp up as they cool.
While the chaffles cook, prepare the filling. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, melted butter, and softened cream cheese. Whisk until smooth (heat for 15-20 seconds if needed to blend).
Toss the shredded chicken in the buffalo sauce mixture until thoroughly coated.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one chaffle on a plate, pile high with the spicy buffalo chicken mixture, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and sprinkle with green onions.
Top with the second chaffle and serve immediately.
