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.
These Chaffle Pepperoni Pizzas are not only easy to make but also incredibly satisfying, offering all the flavors of pizza with a fraction of the carbs.
