Servings 2 waffles
Calories 67kcal
Ingredients
- 1 heaping tablespoon Quinoa Flour
- 1 heaping tablespoon Vanilla Protein Powder I used North Coast Naturals Whey Isolate, you can substitute a vanilla soy, hemp, or rice protein powder for dairy-free
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Flour
- 1 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 egg white or 2 tablespoons liquid egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup fresh blackberries
- 1 packet stevia I use Krisda brand, can substitute with ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
Instructions
- In a bowl combine the quinoa flour, protein powder, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix well so all ingredients are incorporated and there are no clumps.
- Add in the almond milk and egg white and stir to combine.
- Add in the applesauce and vanilla extract and stir again to combine. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes while your waffle iron (or pan) heats.
- Once heated, add the batter to the waffle iron (if making pancakes, use a non-stick or lightly greased pan over medium heat, and add in small batches of the batter, allow 1-2 minutes to cook before flipping, these take a little longer to cook than the average pancake!)
- Cook for about 4 minutes until waffle iron light signals the waffles are done.
- While the waffles are cooking, add the blackberries to a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, mash with a fork and stir in the stevia, or other sweetener.
- Pour over the cooked waffles (or pancakes) and enjoy!
