Protein waffle topped with a bit of peanut butter, bananas, and walnuts.
I promised to share any healthy, clean-eating recipes I came across; I tried one on Sunday morning, which was outstanding.
It was a bit more work that I wasn’t prepared to do, but now I know how to smooth things out to make the waffles easier.
I made an eating mistake on a chilly morning last week. I went back to having a carb-only breakfast and paid for it the rest of the day. Now I know why I was always tired, hungry, and grumpy mid-morning.
I made a bowl of grits with a pinch of salt and a small amount of maple syrup. It was yummy and satisfying. Not!
By mid-morning, I was starving and falling asleep. I had been hungry all day and tired. It wasn’t until we had a dinner salad that I started to wake up.
No more carb-only meals again, ever. I started looking for breakfast options that weren’t just yogurt or cottage cheese based.
Then, I found this fantastic protein waffle recipe. It’s a perfect carrier for other proteins such as peanut butter, cashew or almond butter, nuts, and fruits.
Below is the recipe I found. In the future, I will grind my GF oats ahead of time and store them in a canister, which takes another step and removes a small appliance from the mix.

I followed the recipe exactly and was rewarded with the lightest, fluffy, filling, and delicious waffles.
I wonder if I can make pancakes with the same batter for quicker preparation?
On a rainy day, I plan to make a double or triple batch of these babies, wrap them individually, and freeze them.
How easy on a busy morning to pop in the toaster oven and have a quick hand-held breakfast.
I haven’t been this excited about a recipe for a long time. If you are serious about healthy eating like I am, I hope you try it and enjoy it too.
I’ve made these too. They are really good.
These are really good! I have made them too
I was just having the same conversation with a friend 30 min ago – that I only ever have eggs or just some chicken for breakfast any more because carbs make me so sleepy and throw me off the rest of the day. And I JUST started eating cottage cheese – I never thought I liked it but hadn’t had it in years. I can’t wait to try this recipe, thanks for sharing!
