Calories: 338kcal
Ingredients
Waffle
- 4 large egg whites 132g
- a few drops alcohol-free butterscotch flavor
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- a pinch of sea salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons whole husk psyllium 10g
- 3 tablespoons unflavored pea protein powder 21g
- 3 tablespoons vanilla rice protein powder 21g
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons filtered water if necessary
- 1 teaspoon date sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil to grease waffle iron or non-stick cooking spray
Icing
- 2 tablespoons natural vanilla whey protein powder
- a dash ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon filtered water
Instructions
- Mix egg whites with butterscotch flavor and vanilla.
- Add salt and psyllium husk. Mix to combine.
- Add pea and rice protein powders and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well. If the batter is too thick to pour, add 1or 2 tablespoons of water and mix well.
- In a small bowl, mix date sugar with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Fold into the waffle batter. (Don't mix it too well if you want to see a cinnamon swirl in the waffle.)
- Brush waffle iron with coconut oil.
- Plug in waffle iron. Let the batter sit while the iron heats up. (This allows the psyllium to thicken the batter.)
- When waffle iron is ready, pour batter into iron. Close iron and cook for 5 minutes (timing may vary according to waffle iron).
- Meanwhile, mix the vanilla whey, dash of cinnamon, and filtered water to make your icing.
- Remove waffle from iron, top with icing, and enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in the waffle recipe. You could substitute casein for the whey in the icing, but you may need a little more water.
