Ingredients

Topping:

Instructions

  • Spray your waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray, then plug it in.
  • Mix the egg whites and coconut oil.
  • Add protein powder, baking powder, and stevia. Mix well.
  • Once waffle iron is ready, spoon ¼ of the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close iron. Let cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove waffle from iron, and repeat for 3 more waffles. You may need to brush some more non-stick spray (or coconut oil) into the middle of the iron between waffles.
  • Set waffles aside and mix together cinnamon, stevia, and erythritol.
  • Brush waffles with coconut oil, and dip in the cinnamon mixture.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would only recommend pea protein blends in this recipe. See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong kind of protein powder.
Erythritol is a natural no-calorie sweetener. If you count the carbs from erythritol here, it will add 12-24g but not change the calories.
