As I write this, it’s Saturday morning at 8:09am. My little guy wanted to get in the kitchen with me, so I thought we would uphold our Saturday morning ritual of either pancakes or waffles.
My husband left the pan I use for pancakes sitting dirty on the stove from last night, and frankly, I’m just to lazy on a Saturday morning to do dishes BEFORE I cook. So the waffles won.
I’ve really been on a good routine with going to the gym every day and sticking to my clean eating plan. I didn’t want to ruin it with just any ol’ waffle recipe. So I came up with this one.
Leave a comment below if you have any ideas for increasing the protein content. I’d really love to add even more protein to these.

Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
Let your kids measure the ingredients into the mixing bowl. Kids with enough dexterity can use a whisk to help mix everything.
Let them top their own waffles!
