Carnivore Bread Chaffle Burger: Low-Carb and Delicious

When you’re eating a carnivore diet—even if you’re just 80% carnivore like me—the thing you miss the most is bread. But let me tell you, these carnivore bread chaffle burgers are so good, you won’t even think about regular buns. They’re easy to make, require just two ingredients, and work as a perfect carnivore bread alternative for way more than just burgers. The possibilities are endless!

What is a Chaffle?

Chaffles (sometimes called cheese waffles or carnivore waffles) are the ultimate carnivore bread replacement, especially as burger buns. And the best part? They only need two ingredients—mozzarella cheese and eggs. That’s it! With just these two staples, you can whip up crispy, golden, protein-packed chaffles that make the perfect carnivore bread.

My Go-To Carnivore Bread Chaffle Recipe:

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

I mix everything in a glass measuring cup, give it a quick stir with a fork, and pour the batter straight into my waffle maker. Set the timer for two minutes, and boom—done! A hot, crispy carnivore bread chaffle, ready to be used as a burger bun.

Making Hamburger Patties

Now that our carnivore bread chaffles are ready, it’s time to make the hamburger patties. Let’s talk ground beef. My brother is a rancher, so we buy our beef from him and request that he mix in organ meat with the ground beef. Organ meat is packed with nutrients, but let’s be real—it’s not the easiest thing to get kids to eat. By blending it into the ground beef, you can’t even taste it, but you still get all the benefits!

How I Make My Burger Patties:

  • Start with 2 lbs of ground beef in a medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Add 2 tbsp of your favorite burger seasoning
  • Mix everything together by hand, then roll into balls
  • Flatten into patties right before cooking

During summer, these would go straight on the grill, but since it’s winter in Omaha, we’re cooking them on my stovetop griddle. While the burgers are sizzling, I also throw some bacon on because—everything is better with bacon, right? Once the burgers are done, each one gets topped with a dollop of goat cheese. Trust me on this—goat cheese on a carnivore bread burger is next-level good. We don’t eat it on much else, but on a burger? Absolute must-try!

Topping a Carnivore Bread Chaffle Burger

Now, let’s build this burger! Start with your carnivore bread chaffles, add your condiments, then place that juicy, goat cheese-topped burger patty on top. From here, it’s up to you how you want to dress it up. You can go classic backyard BBQ-style with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. Keep it strictly carnivore with bacon and a fried egg. At my house, we eat about 80% carnivore, so my go-to toppings are grilled onions, bacon, guacamole, and kimchi along with ketchup and mayo. SO good!
