Flourless chai chocolate protein waffles
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (*mix with 2.5 tablespoons water in a small dish, set in fridge or aside for 5 minutes.)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (*can easily substitute for milk of choice)
- 1/3 cup BOB's gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup Nuzest Chai Turmeric Maca pea protein powder (*can substitute for protein flavour of choice.)
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 banana
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon organic cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- handful sugar-free chocolate chips (*I like to use Lily's sweets Brand.)
Instructions
- Add flaxseed meal and water to a small dish and stir. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken. This is a replacement in place of 1 regular egg. Omit making flax egg completely if you wish! It will work either way!
- Blend all ingredients (including the flax egg or regular egg) in food processor or high speed blender and let sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
- Pour batter in sections (1/2 cup each time) or all at once onto a pre-heated, pre-greased waffle iron. I like to use coconut oil spray to grease mine. Scatter a few chocolate chips amongst the batter and then close top of waffle iron and cook low and slow.
- Top with desired toppings such as fresh orange slices, fruit, more chocolate chips or cacao nibs, coconut flakes, nut butter, and another sprinkle of cinnamon! ENJOY!
Make it your own with the ingredients you love. Enjoy every bite!
