If you love the flavor of an everything bagel but want something low carb, blood-sugar friendly, and ridiculously easy, this Everything Bagel Chaffle is your new go-to breakfast, snack, or sandwich base. It tastes like a toasted bagel, cooks in minutes using a mini waffle maker, and keeps carbs extremely low thanks to mozzarella cheese, egg, and a touch of almond flour.
This recipe is perfect for anyone needing a diabetic-friendly, keto, or low-glycemic option without giving up warm, bready comfort food. The texture is crispy on the outside, soft inside, and it pairs perfectly with cream cheese, eggs, turkey, or smoked salmon.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your mini waffle maker so it gets hot enough to crisp the chaffle.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.
- Stir in the mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Lightly spray the waffle maker, then spoon in half the batter.
- Cook 2-3 minutes until golden, crispy, and lightly toasted like a mini bagel.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and let the chaffles cool for 1 minute to firm up.
Why This Recipe Works for Blood Sugar
Most “bagel” recipes spike glucose because they use wheat flour or sugar.
This everything bagel chaffle recipe uses:
Almond flour (low glycemic)
Mozzarella cheese (zero sugar)
Egg (protein-based)
Everything bagel seasoning for flavor without carbs
You get the satisfying bagel taste—without the blood sugar spike.
