Pistachio & Honey High-protein Waffles

SET UP

• Waffle maker

• 1 Mixing bowl

• 1 Whisk or fork

• 1 Measuring cup and spoon

Ingredients

SERVING SIZE: 2 large Belgian-style waffles, 60g protein

• 3 large eggs

• 2 tbsp melted butter or plant-based alternative

• 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 1 scoop (37g) Blonyx Egg White Protein Isolate

• 1 1/2 cups of unbleached flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• Option: tsp of vanilla extract or 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

• Top with: honey-salted pistachios, vegan or dairy-free vanilla yogurt, and organic honey, or my kids’ favourite, Nutella and bananas.

Preheat waffle griddle. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter or oil.

Mix wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with butter, milk, and vanilla extract (optional) until smooth.

Add dry ingredients. Add flour, protein powder, baking powder and cinnamon (optional) to the wet mixture. Stir until combined; the batter should be smooth and free of lumps.

Cook. Pour about a half cup of batter evenly into waffle grids, spreading it evenly. Close the grids and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.

Top with all your favourites: Honey, Greek yogurt and pistachios (pictured above) or Nutella and bananas (fan favourite at our house).
