Waffles are satisfying, versatile, and can appeal to anyone in any age group and diet. What I love most about them is that they bring people together!

You don’t have to be an amazing cook to be an amazing waffle maker. All you need is a waffle griddle, good intentions, and a great recipe. Here is my tried and true healthy high protein waffle recipe:

Equipment needed:

Waffle griddle

Ingredients:

– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 3 whole eggs

– 1 cup almond milk

– 1 teaspoon cinnamon

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1 scoop protein powder (tastes the best with Kaged Muscle Supps Vanilla MicroPure Whey Isolate)

– 1 mashed banana

– ½ cup chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Warm-up waffle griddle.
2. Mix everything together in a large mixing bowl until the batter is nice and creamy. You want the consistency to be a medium thickness.
3. Pour about ½ cup worth of batter (could be more or less, depending on how big you want your waffle) on the waffle griddle.
4. Cook until it’s brown on both sides.
5. Repeat until you’re out of batter.
6. Top with your favorite healthy toppings and enjoy!

Substitutions:

• To make it vegan,
  • sub the eggs for “flax eggs.” To replace one large egg, finely grind 1 tablespoon of flax seeds in a grinder. Place in a small bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of filtered water. Allow to sit for 30 minutes before using in a recipe.

• choose a vegan protein powder
• To make it low fat,
  • sub the 3 whole eggs for 4 egg whites.
  • sub the banana for ⅓ cup mashed berries
  • sub the almond milk for ½ filtered water
  • remove the chopped hazelnuts
