Homemade Saturday Morning Waffles - 1g

Nothing says Saturday (or Sunday) morning like homemade waffles or pancakes...

As I was devouring these waffles this morning, it dawned on me that the reason they call them "Eggo Waffles" is probably due to their high egg content!  These tasted enough like eggo waffles to me, but with a slightly egg-ier consistency.  If you wanted to counteract that, I might add some almond flour next time (but that will up the carb & calorie count). I thought they were fabulous for virtually carb-free waffles! Makes 2 large waffles (1 carb/waffle)

Ingredients:

2 egg whites

1 egg

1/8 tsp cream of tartar 

2 Tbsp almond/coconut milk blend - unsweetened (or just regular unsweetened almond milk)

3 Tbsp whey protein powder (mine has less than 1 carb in 1/4 cup - watch that if you're counting carbs)

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

2 packets of splenda

1 tsp melted butter/smart balance (optional)

Set your waffle iron to the highest setting (400 degrees or so?)

Beat the 2 egg whites and the cream of tartar until stiff. Set aside.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold/mix into the egg whites - this will produce a pretty runny batter.

Spray or grease your waffle iron.

Pour in batter and close for 5 minutes.

Take out and top with your favorite toppings (I chose Smart Balance butter and a sugar free syrup)! 

What a perfect Saturday/Sunday morning treat...
