Ingredients Needed:

Natural peanut butter (ensure no added sugar, only peanuts and salt)

Making of Peanut Butter Chaffles:
Melting the Cheese: Start by melting the Mozzarella cheese until smooth, using either a double boiler or a microwave. Maintain warmth for elasticity, contributing to a crispy texture in the chaffles.
Preparing the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker, grill pan, or sandwich grill for a few minutes to ensure it’s ready for use.
Creating the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, blend the egg, melted Mozzarella cheese, Erythritol, natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Cooking the Chaffles: Drop dollops of the batter onto your preferred cooking surface. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the chaffles develop a golden hue around the edges.
Cooling and Repetition: Transfer the chaffles to a cooling rack and repeat the cooking process with any remaining batter. Typically, this recipe yields two chaffles, but adjust the ingredients for more servings.
