Chaffle Pepperoni Pizzas

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce (low-carb if preferred)
  • 12-16 slices of pepperoni
  • Optional: additional toppings like olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Prepare the chaffle batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
  • Cook the chaffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a little oil. Pour a portion of the batter into the waffle maker (amount will vary depending on the size of your waffle maker), close the lid, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more chaffles.
  • Assemble the pizzas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cooked chaffles on a baking sheet. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce over each chaffle, then sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with pepperoni slices and any additional toppings you desire.
  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Remove the Chaffle Pepperoni Pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy them hot, with a side salad or as a tasty snack on their own.
