Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or sugar‑free substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, melted coconut oil, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, slightly sticky batter forms.
  2. Rest the batter: Allow the batter to rest for 3–4 minutes so the almond flour absorbs moisture, resulting in a lighter, fluffier texture for the donuts.
  3. Preheat waffle iron: Heat a non-stick waffle iron to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Lightly brush the waffle plates with a thin layer of coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the chaffles: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of batter into the center of each waffle section. Close the lid and cook for 4–5 minutes until the edges turn crisp and the tops are golden brown.
  5. Cool briefly: Transfer cooked chaffles to a wire rack and let them cool for 1–2 minutes to prevent steam buildup and maintain a crispy exterior with an airy interior.
  6. Make the sweet cinnamon glaze: While the chaffles are still warm, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth and well-combined.
  7. Glaze the donuts: Dip each warm chaffle donut into the cinnamon glaze, turning to coat all sides evenly. For extra shine and flavor, drizzle a second thin layer after the first coat has set.
  8. Serve: Arrange glazed chaffle donuts on a serving platter. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or additional cinnamon crystals over the top, and serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • For a sugar-free version, substitute pure maple syrup with a sugar-free syrup or sweetener of your choice.
  • Using fresh rosemary is optional but adds a unique savory note that balances the sweetness.
  • Make sure to rest the batter to allow almond flour to fully hydrate for optimal texture.
  • Do not overfill the waffle iron to avoid batter spilling over during cooking.
  • These chaffle donuts are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated briefly.
  • Consider swapping coconut oil for another neutral oil if preferred.
