Aunt Rocky’s Cinnamon Bun Chaffles

Plug in the Dash Mini Maker or a waffle iron to pre-heat.

Melt butter in a 1-cup glass measuring cup. Add egg and whisk. Add remaining chaffle ingredients and whisk again to incorporate everything.

When the Dash or waffle iron is hot, pour half of the batter into the Dash (or all of the batter in to 2 wells of a standard waffle maker). Cook until little to no steam is escaping, about 4 minutes with the Dash. Check to see that the lid opens easily without sticking. If not, the chaffle is not done yet. Close the lid and give it another minute or two. If using the Dash Mini, repeat for second chaffle.

While second chaffle is cooking, make the drizzle. In a small bowl, melt cream cheese and butter together in the microwave, about 20 seconds. Add remaining ingredients and whisk with a fork until smooth.

Plate chaffles and drizzle topping over them. There is enough of the drizzle to put some on each chaffle individually, or stack them and pour it on as I have done in the photo, letting it drip down the sides.

Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top if desired. Count any carbs for added nuts.

Yields 2 cinnamon bun chaffles.

Notes:
• If you are only going to eat half of the recipe (1 chaffle) and store the other chaffle, save half of the topping in a small bowl rather than topping the second chaffle. Store both in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Reheat the chaffle in the microwave, toaster, or toaster oven. Melt remaining topping in the microwave, and drizzle over the chaffle when ready to serve.
• Oat fiber is made from the hull of the oat, not the grain. It is 100% fiber, and is therefor keto friendly. I use Lifesource Oat Fiber 500 to assure a product free from gluten cross contamination. If gluten is not an issue for you, use whatever brand is cheapest. If you can’t find it, omit it from the recipe. The outcome will not have as nice a texture, but will still be good. (In Europe, many people have had success using potato fiber in place of oat fiber.)
• Nutrition estimates are based on My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. rand names are included only to assure more accurate estimates. The recipe is stored on and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. Sugar alcohols, allulose, and liquid sucralose are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index, so are excluded from nutrition counts.
