- Mash the cooked black beans in another bowl.
- Add the flaxseed mixture, pepper, breadcrumbs, salt, paprika, and powdered garlic in another bowl.
- Mix well to incorporate properly.
- Keep the skillet on a normal flame with a little oil in it.

TIPS:
- The batter of the chaffles must be in a thick liquid consistency. If you find it runny, add more of the almond flour to make it thick.
- You may sprinkle preferred herbs or spices so it gets spicy and flavorful.
- Cook chaffles well to make them crispy so that they hold the filling well.
- The patties can be frozen for quick assembling for later meals.
HOW TO STORE THE LEFTOVERS
CHILLING
- Keep the remaining patties and chaffles in a separate container secured with an airtight lid. Refrigerate them for around three days.
FREEZING
- Pack the patties and chaffles buns separately in freezing bags. Freeze them for around two months. Defrost a night before assembling.
REHEATING
- Use a toaster for chaffles and a skillet for reheating the patties, then quickly assemble to serve!
FAQs
Is that possible to cook the chaffles without a waffle maker?
- You can also cook the pancakes with the same batter using a non-stick skillet. But they won’t give you the same feel as the chaffles.
Will the commercial vegan patties work?
- Carefully buy them after reading the label that the patties must be vegan. You only need to cook as directed on the pack and assemble quickly.
