 Full Recipe:

 Ingredients

• 1 cup cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber)

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ¼ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray (for waffle iron)

 Directions

1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray.

2. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: If using fresh cauliflower, cut into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw completely.

3. Squeeze Moisture: Place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chaffles.

4. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, ground flaxseed (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

5. Cook Chaffles: Spoon half of the mixture onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve: Carefully remove the chaffle and let it cool slightly before serving. Repeat with the remaining batter.
