Why is my chaffle sticking? ›

If your chaffle sticks to your waffle maker leaving behind a big gooey mess, you probably didn't let it cook long enough. To salvage the waffle, close the waffle maker immediately and let it cook longer. It should easily release.

Chaffles are waffles made with cheese and eggs; its funny name is a combination of the words “cheese” and “waffle”. Without any sweeteners, they taste like your favorite grilled cheese sandwich but with the texture of a crispy, crunchy waffle.

Another option is to keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Once you've let the chaffles cool, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. To reheat the chaffles place them in the toaster or you can microwave them for 30-60 seconds, or in the oven at 180/350 degrees.

Not waiting until the iron heats up properly means your waffles will cook, but never achieve that satisfyingly crisp exterior. Overworking the batter will leave your waffles dense and chewy instead of light and airy. And stacking even the most perfect waffles will cause them to become soggy and limp in minutes.

They will keep for 7 days when frozen. Wrap them tightly in parchment paper, and stick them in a ziplock or stasher bag. How do I reheat my chaffles? You can reheat your chaffles by letting them thaw, and then toasting them in the toaster, or you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds.

To store: Chaffles can be stored in the refrigerator, covered. They will keep well for up to 5 days. To freeze: Place leftover chaffles in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. Reheating: Simply pop them in a toaster oven or toaster until crispy.

Enjoy this deliciously sweet yet surprisingly low carb dish as a meal, or as a keto-friendly snack! You can even make it ahead of time and freeze them for a quick breakfast. If you've never tried a sweet chaffle recipe before, prepare to have happy tastebuds!

Chaffles are meant to be on the smaller size so a small waffle iron, like the Dash mini waffle maker, works best, but you can also use a regular waffle maker or Belgian waffle iron, too.

Properly stored, chaffles will last 4-5 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, place cooled chaffles in a freezer bag or airtight container with parchment paper between each one. Frozen chaffles will keep for 3-4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating in a toaster oven or air fryer.

Why is everything sticking to my mini waffle maker? ›

Why do my waffles stick to the waffle iron? The main reason is your iron isn't seasoned properly , if it's a new or rarely used, what I like to do to my pancake or waffle batters is add a little oil mixed into them, as a kinda general rule I use one teaspoon of oil for every three cups of batter.

Lubricate the waffle iron unevenly, or not at all (we've all been there), and the batter can become unapologetically stuck and rip your waffle in twain.

Why are my waffles sticking to my waffle maker? Make sure to spray your waffle maker with cooking spray, even if your waffle maker is non-stick. This helps to ensure that your waffles don't stick to the waffle iron.
