There is still summer left but I’m getting excited about fall.. and that means everything pumpkin spice. I’m preparing now with these Keto Pumpkin Cream Cheese Chaffles!
Yes, I am still crazy about chaffles! Everything I’m making lately is in the form of a chaffle. But, I’m telling you, if you are living a low carb life, these are the best thing since sliced bread. Literally! 😉
So far, all of my chaffles start with the basic chaffle recipe. Once you master that recipe, you’re good to go. You can go crazy making all sorts of chaffles. I haven’t had one turn out bad yet! I’m not a great cook or baker so if I can make these, you can too.
These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Chaffles have the perfect amount of cream cheese and pumpkin spice. I added just a touch of vanilla and confectioners Swerve to sweeten them up a bit.
I used a bit of whipped cream on top, sprinkled with just a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. I think cinnamon would be good too. It was delicious!
I also tried just a bit of maple syrup on a couple bites… also amazing!
Here’s a couple tips when making your Pumpkin Cream Cheese chaffles. You don’t need a lot of shredded cheese on the bottom and top of your waffle maker. Just a very light layer and enough to crisp up the top and bottom of your chaffle. I use whatever shredded cheese I have on hand. So far, I’ve just used colby jack.
Next tip… do not overfill. I pour on the batter very slowly and then spread it around with a spoon or fork. This helps make sure I’m not overfilling. Trust me.. the mess of overfilling is crazy!
Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
Makes 3-4 Pumpkin Cream Cheese Chaffles.
I had high hopes for this recipe as I love anything pumpkin but very little flavor other than cheese.:~(
Oh really? I don’t find that at all. I don’t taste the egg or the cheese.
These are amazing, my favorite chaffle to date! Thank you!
Yay, I’m so glad! I love them too!
This is a great recipe idea for Fall (which I will be glad when it gets here)
Give me the pumpkin spice everything!
I’m excited to try these. How many net carbs for each ?
Hi Megan,
I, myself, do not track macros so I honestly don’t know.
The recipe sounds interesting. I was interested in knowing The macros for this recipe so I went a head and calculated the ingredients in Carb Manager app. So here’s what I found : Carbohydrates is .9, Protein 6.5 g and 9.4 fat. I’ll say Thai is darn good for Keto.
