- Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker or pan using a silicone spatula.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, making additional chaffles as desired.

Notes
We don't have a waffle iron, so we always opt for a griddle instead. It works perfectly every time, and each side takes just 2 minutes to cook.
Enjoy these delightful and satisfying chaffles as a guilt-free breakfast or snack option. They are bursting with the aromatic flavors of cinnamon and the irresistible cheesiness you crave. Don't forget to personalize your chaffles with your favorite toppings to create a truly delightful and customized experience.
