Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, ground flaxseed (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
Fill Waffle Iron: Carefully spoon the cauliflower mixture into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Chaffle: Close the waffle iron and cook the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes or until the chaffle turns golden brown and develops a crispy texture.
Remove and Cool: Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle iron and allow it to cool slightly before serving to let it set properly.
Serve: Serve the chaffle warm, optionally with toppings such as avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.

Notes

To ensure a crispy chaffle, make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the cauliflower rice before mixing.
Ground flaxseed is optional but highly recommended for added fiber and nutrition.
Feel free to customize the spices or add herbs like parsley or chives for additional flavor.
Serve with your favorite low-carb toppings to keep it healthy and satisfying.
