Psyllium husk powder adds more fiber to your chaffle. And it adds a more solid texture too. Make sure to focus on your fluids intake even more so, if you’re adding more fiber to your diet.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, egg, and psyllium husk powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Spoon half of the mixture onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading it evenly to create a round shape.
Step 5
Place three pickle slices on top of the mixture, spacing them out evenly. Close the waffle maker again, until ready. About 2 minutes.
