Waffles are a delicious breakfast but they're not the best food for you. There is a way to make waffles that are healthy, packed with protein, and low in fat. By using egg whites and your favorite protein powder, you can create a breakfast that is delicious and good for you.
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites (boxed or whole eggs by removing yolk)
- 2 tablespoons of almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of flour (using coconut flour is a healthy option)
- 1 scoop of protein powder
Steps
-
Pour egg whites into a large bowl. The egg whites can come from regular eggs by removing yolks, or you can use boxed egg whites instead (9 tablespoons= 3 egg whites).
-
Whip the egg whites in a bowl. Use a whisk, hand mixer or large spoon until egg whites appear fluffy.Advertisement
-
Stir in the additional ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of flour.
-
Add in your protein.
- You can use any brand or flavor of your choosing. One scoop is recommended.
-
Repeat the whipping process using all your ingredients and protein powder
-
Turn on the waffle iron. Set the iron to the highest temperature.
-
Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. You can use any other type of oil: vegetable, olive, etc.
- If you do not have oil, you can use butter.
-
Pour the batter slowly onto the greased waffle iron.
-
Cook thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes. You want the waffles to appear golden brown or even crispy on the edges.
-
Use a spatula to remove the waffle from the iron. Avoid using your hands or metal due to heat from the iron.
-
Add topping and sides to your waffles, if desired.
- Add some fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc) for extra taste.
- Apply sugar-free syrup.
-
Serve and enjoy!Advertisement
