gramsI recently made a video testing the impact of egg temperature on baking and if there is really a reason to use room temperature eggs. I discovered that it made a significant different. Also, upon tasting my experimental chaffles with Ricotta cheese, my mind immediately went to “lemon poppy seed chaffle”. So here it is. This recipe will yield 4 chaffles (and I consider 2 chaffles to be a “serving”). These are great served with fresh raspberries and whipped cream.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk Ricotta cheese (135g)
1/4 cup almond flour (30g)
zest of one lemon
1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 TB Bocha Sweet sweetener
1 TB extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl or 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup, then whisk in the Ricotta.
- Add the remaining ingredients and whisk into a smooth batter.
- If using a Dash Mini waffle maker, pour 1/4 cup (or 1/4th the total batter) into each Dash Mini. Bake for 3 minutes then remove to a cooling rack.
- Serve with raspberries and whipped cream.

Notes
- Macronutrients are based on a serving size of 2 chaffles and do not include any toppings.
I’m going to do this without the poppy seeds. I get drug tested at work and don’t take any chances. After complete retirement, whenever that is, the poppy seeds are going in it. I love your recipes and videos. Thank you for them.
Steve, can I substitute Primal Kitchen mayonnaise for Ricotta Cheese? I am trying to get the carb count a little lower. Than you very much, love your show! It has helped me loose 50 pounds.
I don’t think that would work as a substitute. Plus, ricotta and lemon are pretty much made for each other, flavor-wise.
Thank you!! I literally have to find you on Youtube. Also my other go Keto warriors. Thank God Conner is all right.
Made these tonight. They were what I’d call the protein part of dinner. (we only had salad) We really like the texture. Very good. I think they would possibly make a good base for strawberry shortcake! ( I like my 4 chaffle maker). It made the job of making 4 chaffles at once a breeze.
I plan to make this, but I wanted to offer a FYI on lemon I’ve found and really enjoy for many items. I’ve purchased a blueberry as well, but didn’t find a flavor as potent as the lemon. I hope you find the lemon as pleasing option. https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Lemon-Juice-Powder-Ounce/dp/B07NY4MF5Y/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2EEK0AZW6D1ZH&dchild=1&keywords=dehydrated+lemon+juice+powder&qid=1623688552&sprefix=dehydrated+lemon+juic%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-3
I cut the recipe in half and still made three chaffles.. They were really good.. Thanks!
I made a slightly different version today. I created a lemon chia seed chaffle. These really are good. I think they would be like a cupcake with the icing from your cupcake chaffles but with lemon extract instead of vanilla. Yum!
I made these this evening along with a salad. Very delicious but not lemon flavored enough.
I’ll have to remedt that next time.
I’m a little late to the chaffle party but tried these tonight. I topped with a bit of powdered monkfruit and added some lemon extract (though that powdered lemon juice linked above looks pretty good, too).
