Protein Sweet Potato Waffles
Ingredients:
- 2 servings of Afterburn Whey protein
- 2 Tbsps. of pancake or waffle mix
- 80g of mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 Tbsps. of coconut oil, some can be used to grease the waffle maker.
- 1 egg (can be left out, but they will stick a little more and not be as fluffy.)
- 2 egg whites
Directions:
- The first thing you want to do is heat up your waffle iron. While it is heating you should begin adding ingredients to your bowl. This recipe makes two large Belgian waffles.
- Add all of your dry ingredients into the bowl first, then add the sweet potatoes, egg, oil and enough egg whites to create the correct consistency. Don’t over mix, blend just enough to combine all ingredients.
- By the time you mix your ingredients your waffle maker should be hot and ready for the first batch. Use a little of your coconut oil to grease the waffle-iron and then pour enough of the batter to just cover the lower half of the waffle maker. Close your waffle-iron and wait until the steam has begun to clear or until your maker gives you the signal that the waffle is done, if that is an option on your particular brand.
- Remove your waffle from the iron and add your toppings. Fresh berries or a low sugar or all fruit jam (heated in the microwave to replace my syrup) are great options.
