This is the foundation of the entire Grain Free ME chaffle system — and it's the recipe I use every single week to stay fed on my hardest days.

One base batch makes up to 24 soft, fluffy grain-free chaffles that work as sandwich buns, burger buns, breakfast stacks, fruit-topped treats, and more. No grains. No gluten. Batch-friendly and freezer-ready.

What's included:

  • Full batch recipe with gram-weight measurements for accuracy

  • Three reheating methods (toaster, microwave, oven)

  • Freezer and vacuum seal instructions

  • Storage guidelines

  • Optional add-ins: nutritional yeast, beef gelatin (⚠️ AGS-unsafe — omit if you have Alpha-Gal Syndrome)

This is a Tier 1 recipe — the prerequisite for every chaffle add-on in the library. All Tier 2 chaffle recipes (Bacon, Breakfast Sausage, Blueberry, Apple Cinnamon, and more) require this one first.
