KETO Friendly Iced Cinnamon Roll Chaffles (Gluten Free)

A delicious (quick & easy) cinnamon
breakfast or dessert.
A "Chaffle" is made with a combination of eggs, cheese and seasonings that are baked in a waffle maker, to create a crunchy & delicious, low carb treat!

Chaffle Ingredients:
coconut oil cooking spray
2 eggs or 4 egg whites
1 cup finely shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese**
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons Lakanto Golden sweetener (or brown sugar substitute of choice)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
Icing Ingredients:
1/4 cup marscapone cheese***
2 tablespoons Lakanto Powdered sweetener (or powdered sugar substitute of choice)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method:
Whisk the eggs in a liquid measuring cup. Stir in the cheese, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, sweetener, vanilla and cream. Mix well. Set aside.
Preheat a waffle iron. Lightly coat with coconut oil spray. If using a regular size waffle iron, pour half of the batter onto the prepared waffle iron.(If using a mini waffle maker, use 1/4 of the batter for each waffle.) Cook until cooked through. (Leave in the waffle iron until it has reached the level of crispiness that you prefer. Repeat with the remaining batter.
While the chaffles are cooking, with a small whip (or fork) whisk together the marscapone, powdered sweetener and vanilla. Spread equal amounts of the icing, on top of each cooked chaffle. Makes 2 regular sized chaffles, or 4 mini chaffles. Enjoy!

** It is best to grate the cheese yourself, since "shredded" cheese from the store contains chemicals and extra carbs from ingredients that are added to prevent clumping and mold growth.

***If you like, room temperature cream cheese may be substituted for the marscapone cheese. (The marscapone is a little creamier and lighter than regular cram cheese.
