🛒 Ingredients

For the Chaffle Buns:

• 1 large egg
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp almond flour (optional for more “bread-like” texture)
• ¼ tsp baking powder (helps chaffles rise and fluff)

For the Beef Filling:

• ¼ lb ground beef
• Salt & pepper to taste
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp garlic powder

For the Keto “Big Mac” Sauce:

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp sugar-free ketchup
• 1 tsp dill pickle relish
• ¼ tsp mustard
• Pinch of paprika

Toppings:

• 1 slice cheddar cheese (or 2 if making double layer)
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced onions
• Dill pickle slices

🧾 Ingredient Notes

• Cheese: Mozzarella gives a neutral flavor, cheddar gives the chaffle a “burger bun” taste.
• Almond Flour: Optional but creates a more bread-like texture for the chaffle.
• Ground Beef: 80/20 gives the juiciest Big Mac flavor, but lean works too.
• Special Sauce: Tastes just like fast-food Big Mac sauce but sugar-free to keep it keto-friendly.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Chaffle Buns

1. Preheat your mini waffle maker.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, cheese, almond flour, and baking powder until well combined.
3. Pour half the batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden and crispy.
4. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 2 chaffles. Set aside to cool slightly so they firm up like buns.

2. Prepare the Burger Meat

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Cook until browned and slightly crispy, breaking it into small crumbles — just like Big Mac beef.
4. Drain excess grease if needed.

3. Make the Big Mac Sauce

1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Taste and adjust seasoning — add more relish for tang or paprika for extra kick.

4. Assemble Your Keto Big Mac Chaffle

1. Spread a thin layer of Big Mac sauce on one chaffle.
2. Add shredded lettuce, chopped onions, and 2–3 pickles.
3. Add half the beef followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
4. If making double-stack, add the second chaffle and repeat meat, cheese, toppings, and sauce.
5. Top with the final chaffle “bun” and enjoy warm!

💡 Pro Tips & Variations

• Add sesame seeds to the chaffle batter for a true “burger bun” look.
• Replace beef with shredded chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
• Want more crunch? Add an extra layer of pickles or lettuce.
• Store leftovers separately to avoid soggy chaffles.
• Make extra chaffles and freeze them — they reheat perfectly in 2 minutes in the air fryer or toaster.

🍽 Serving Suggestion

Serve your Keto Big Mac Chaffle with:

• A side of keto coleslaw
• Air-fried zucchini fries
• A small keto Caesar salad
• Pickle spears for that classic burger-side feel
