Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and melted butter or coconut oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a batter forms.
Fold in the whole kernel corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh chives, if using, until evenly distributed.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop a portion of the batter (about 1/2 cup or according to your waffle iron size) into the center of the preheated waffle iron.
Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Adjust times based on your specific waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the low carb rice and corn waffles hot, garnished with extra chives or your choice of toppings.
