PROTEIN WAFFLES

I grew up loving pancakes and waffles. You too? Unfortunately, not the healthy kind but that is why I am on my course making healthy and delicious recipes for all to enjoy.
I usually make my own Moni Pancake Recipes when cravings strike because I can just whip them up real fast and keep things simple. As much as I adore a good waffle, I never really had a really great recipe on hand that I could put together in 5 minutes and with what I already had in my kitchen. Always assume that pancakes are just much easier and faster. . . . Up until today that is!
MONI PROTEIN WAFFLES. PURE. SIMPLE. HEALTHY INGREDIENTS. FILLING AND INDULGENT. HEALTHY AND PROTEIN-PACKED.
The best part about this recipe that I share today is the batter can be used for both a pancake or a waffle. I prefer this specific batter for a waffle (nice and thick batter – you just need waffle iron), but you can try it as a pancake too. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese low-fat or full-fat
  • 2 eggs can use all egg whites (3)
  • 1/2 cup water plus more if the batter is too thick
  • 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2-3 dashes of cinnamon
  • TOPPINGS- fresh fruit drizzle of raw honey
  • Optional- to make this more of an indulgent treat- add a few Lily’s chocolate chips and/or whipped cream.

Instructions
 

  • Put almond flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.
  • In the food processor blend cottage cheese, eggs, water, protein powder, coconut flour, vanilla, coconut oil, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
  • Gently mix the almond flour mixture and the wet ingredients to form a batter.
  • As the mixture stands it will thicken and you may need to add more water, (1 tbsp at a time). It is okay if there are clumps but you are looking for a smooth and consistent batter. (If for pancakes this is where you will want to see if you need to thin the batter out).
  • Coat a waffle iron with additional cooking spray. Follow the iron’s specifications but it usually takes 3-4 minutes per waffle. (Or could also take this batter and coat a pan to make pancakes too). Can make one BIG waffle or makes 2 medium size.
  • Place on a plate. Serve with your favorite fruit. Optional: Add the mini chocolate chips and whipped topping if you are using. Enjoy!
