01
Preheat Broiler and Waffle Iron
Start by setting your oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turning on the broiler to high. While that’s heating up, preheat your mini waffle iron and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
02
Mix and Cook Chaffles
In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella, egg, almond flour, and all the seasonings—oregano, basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Once your waffle iron is hot, spoon half the batter onto it and spread it out a bit. Close the iron and cook until the chaffle is nicely browned and the steam stops—this usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes. Move it onto your foil-lined baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the batter.
03
Add toppings and broil
Now, spoon some marinara sauce over each chaffle, sprinkle on the rest of the mozzarella, add pepperoni slices, and finish with a little extra basil. Pop the tray under the broiler just until the cheese melts and starts bubbling, which should only take about a minute—keep an eye on it so nothing burns. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve warm with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. Add a drizzle of hot sauce or extra herbs like basil for an extra flavor boost. They also make great finger food for parties.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover chaffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soft and chewy.
