Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs in the recipe for the pizza chaffles?
Yes, you can substitute 3 large egg whites for 1 large egg. In the case of my recipe, you would need 6 egg whites to substitutte for the 2 whole eggs called for.
Can I bake my keto pizza chaffles directly on the oven rack?
I would only bake directly on the oven rack if it was covered with a piece of aluminum foil. The sauce tends to seep through the waffle holes and may make a huge mess in your oven. This way of cooking on the foil which is directly on the rack allows you to be able to slide the chaffles onto a pan when done.
Are other cheeses able to be used in the chaffle recipe and for topping the pizzas?
While mozzarella cheese is commonly used for its mild flavor and melting properties, you can experiment with different types of cheeses to create different flavors. Cheddar, provolone, and Monterey Jack are all delicious options for chaffle crusts and for topping them. I would recommend blending the cheese with the mozzarella. Since it only calls for 1/4 cup mozzarella in the chaffle recipe, it is easy to substitute. Using other cheeses in the topping of the pizza may be too oily and not melt as well as mozzarella.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour for the chaffle batter?
While almond flour is commonly used in chaffle recipes for its texture and flavor, you can substitute coconut flour if preferred. Keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs more moisture than almond flour, so you may need to add in an additional egg or two to make it thin enough to pour into the waffle maker.
What is the nutritional information for gluten-free keto pizza chaffles?
The nutritional information for chaffle pizzas provided is only for the pizza chaffle itself. You will have to figure in the carb counts of the toppings you use to get the precise macro calculations. The pizza crust chaffle as written contains 3.2 g net carbs. You can reduce that down to almost nothing if you add in a little extra mozzarella cheese instead of the almond flour.
Can I make chaffle pizzas in an air fryer instead of baking them in the oven?
Yes! Chaffle pizzas can be cooked in an air fryer for a quick and crispy result. Simply place the topped chaffles in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
