Protein Waffles

Sunday, August 22, 2010


These crisped up really nice. I plan on doubling the batch next time to keep in my freezer for an easy breakfast in the toaster!

2 cups almond flour
1 cup vanilla egg white or whey protein
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 TBS aluminum free baking powder
1 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
2 eggs
4 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted

Preheat waffle iron to high. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry. Let sit for 5 minutes. Bake according to your waffle iron directions. Enjoy! Makes 10 waffles.

  4. Maria - these look so yummy! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you about your ice cream comment, but I finally did! I didn't know how to check and see if I had any comments, but I just figured it out today and I was like OMG look at all these comments! lol

  5. Mmm now I want a waffle maker!

    I have a couple q's for you! I'd like to find out my metabolic type but I'm not sure how to go about this. I've done a couple free quizzes online but they didn't tell me much.. you seem to be the expert on it so I'd love to hear any info!

  6. Well, it is really complicated and only use it if there is a weight loss issue. I find other tricks work better. I focus on the brain chemicals first.

    The purine content in protein helps.

  7. These look delicious and easy!

    After you combine the wet and dry ingredients separately, do you just mix them together to pour into the waffle iron?

    Any idea if you can make up this batter in advance and freeze it like you can with lots of other waffle batters?

  8. I'm guessing you could freeze the batter... But I'm not sure. I always make the whole batch and freeze the waffles like EGO waffles;)

  9. Maria, You have a terrific site and great recipes. These waffles look teriffic. I have a question about the amount of liquid being used. 1.5 cups of Almond Milk and 2 eggs seems like a lot of liquid when I compare it to your Almond Flour Waffles which have only 4 eggs and no liquid.

  10. True, but the whey acts like a binder... It works, I promise;)

  11. Do you know you can substitute oil in place of the two egg yolks? I have some egg whites in my freezer I'm looking to use up!

  12. Update: Made them this morning with egg whites (and coconut milk in a carton instead of almond milk) and they were great!) plus an extra 2 teaspoons of melted butter. Family loved them!

  14. Delicious! Thank you!

  16. These are WAY too good! Haven't enjoyed waffles in so long. I added a little stevia and just ate them "as is" without syrup or butter. YUM!

  18. I made these today and they were too dr but still yummy! I will try making them with a little extra liquid next time. Thanks for the great recipes :)

  20. I made these last night and they were amazing...crispy, delicious & more waffle-liscious than I could have hoped for. The best part is that I didn't feel like crap afterwards!! Seriously, who needs crummy prepackaged foods when you can eat like this?

  21. I made these this morning using my Belgian waffle maker. I cut the recipe in half and the batter made 2 huge waffles! I ate one and 6 hours later I am still not hungry. Wow! So yummy. Really the best low garb waffle recipe I have found. This will be a regular breakfast treat for me. Thank you!

    2. I finally tried these and loved them. a little tricky on time to cook, and the problem of sticking. I uses an olive oil spray first, and it did not work at all. the I tried a butter spray, it worked fine. I will eventually try with the coconut oil spray. thanks! k.j.

  22. These are yummy! Nice and light, too. Thank you for sharing! I plan to try the coconut milk and egg whites route next time since those are usually what I have on hand. I topped with a no-sugar blueberry sauce I made. Yum!

  23. These look awesome!

    One question though - what is the protein content per serving?

    Thanks!

  24. After reading all the great reviews I'm not sure what happened to mine. They completely fell apart in the waffle maker until I couldn't even get them out! Tasted good but so crumbly I think I wasted half just trying to remove them from the waffle maker. Anyone have any suggestions what might have happened?

    1. The waffle iron has to be really hot! I poured mine in before it was all the way hot and they stuck bad too. :)

  25. can you substitute coconut milk for the almond milk?

  26. Wow Maria, thank you for your great blog and recipes. I'm just starting to learn to eat this way. I don't have a waffle iron. Do you think I can make pancakes out of this?

    1. Thank you! Some people have made these into pancakes and liked them. Otherwise, you could try these. Really great pancakes. :)
