Cornbread chaffles made with almond flour are the best Mini Dash keto waffle recipe. A savory easy side for chili, soup, or salads. This low-carb almond flour cornbread recipe is fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside with all the flavors of corn but is grain-free & gluten-free.

Making keto-friendly cornbread chaffles is quick and easy. The must-have equipment is a Mini Dash waffle maker and I highly recommend buying one in the duo set with the mini pancake maker. You can make keto pancakes or eggs in the other one and it is so cute and fun. You can also jazz up this recipe and make jalapeno cornbread or add more cheddar for the cheesiest cornbread keto waffle.

How to Make Keto Cornbread Chaffles

This recipe only needs a few ingredients but a few of them are very important and I suggest not make any substitutions. For a true cornbread flavor, you will want to be sure you use corn extract and be sure it is food grade and not one that is an essential oil. This is the brand and type I use and as you can see it is very popular and has great ratings.

For a good cornbread texture in a keto-friendly recipe, using coarse ground almond flour or almond meal which gives you the best results. It will most resemble and give the same texture of real cornmeal. I like to use this brand as it is not as coarse as an almond meal (which also tends to have the almond skins on it which I do not care for) but not as finely ground as other brands like Kirkland or Bob’s Red Mill almond flour. I suggest you purchase this brand but you can also use a combo of equal parts almond meal combined with your favorite finely ground almond flour if you have those on hand.

Mix the Keto Cornbread Ingredients

To start this simple recipe for keto chaffle, in a small bowl whisk the egg. Next, add the cheese, mayo, & corn extract. Stir to combine. Then add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

Cooking Chaffles in a Mini Dash Waffle Iron

To cook these chaffles, preheat your waffle iron for 3-5 minutes. Once it is ready, you will cook one at a time using 1/3 of the batter for each chaffle. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes until it is the level of doneness you prefer. I like mine pretty crispy and done so I let it cook 5 minutes in my Mini Dash chaffle/waffle maker. Look how yummy & it smells great!

Let them cool and enjoy immediately. Keto waffles do keep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if sealed in a Ziplock or container. The chaffles can be reheated in the microwave, toaster oven, or oven.
