Instructions

Cook and Top Chaffles

Put your oven rack about 6 inches from the top and turn the broiler on high to preheat. While that’s heating up, get your mini waffle iron ready. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella, egg, almond flour, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Spoon half of the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out a bit, then close the lid and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned and no longer steaming. Carefully move the chaffle to the baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the batter. Spread some marinara sauce on each chaffle, sprinkle on more mozzarella, add pepperoni slices, and finish with a little basil on top. Pop them under the broiler just long enough for the cheese to melt and bubble—about a minute—keeping a close eye so they don’t burn.
