They’re popping up everywhere, and still we get asked, “What IS a chaffle?” When you make one of these fill-you-up, keep-you-going sandwiches with pork rinds… well, that’s a game changer!

Pretty crazy how keto-friendly pork rinds can take a traditional BLT sandwich from 0 to 100, right? They’re the low carb, high protein, bacon-y secret ingredient you never knew you needed until now. And if you accidentally fell into an internet hole and stumbled into our Hog Blog? Today’s your lucky day because we’re about to blow your food-loving mind with this absolutely delicious Keto BLT sandwich that is easy to cook and fun to eat. Unlike other recipes out there that replace the regular bread with lettuce or classic keto bread mixes, this yummy chaffle is made with the infamous paffle (aka pork rind waffle)!

Fun fact before we dive into the ULTIMATE BLT Chaffle Sandwich recipe: Pork Rinds can be crushed into a fine dust (and when we say “fine”, we mean “foin”) and used to replace traditional flour at a 1:1 ratio.

In case you wanted to try something new for lunch, this low carb version of the classic BLT sandwich with toppings like cooked bacon, mayonnaise, tomatoes, green onion and lettuce wraps will certainly impress you.
