Blueberry Paleo Protein Waffles
Bursting with blueberries and a hint of lemon, these Blueberry Protein Waffles are a breakfast game-changer!
Ingredients
For the syrup:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 4 teaspoons honey
For the waffles:
- 1 vanilla protein powder protein powder, scoop
- 2 teaspoons coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- salt pinch
- 1 egg large
- 3-5 tablespoons almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1 lemon zest of 1
- 2 tablespoons blueberries lightly heaping, fresh
Instructions
- Whisk together the lemon juice and honey in a medium, microwave-safe bowl until well combined. Microwave until the mixture is reduced by about half, darkens in color, and begins to stop bubbling, about 2-2 1/2 minutes. Watch closely while it microwaves, if you overcook it, you will have hard taffy, not syrup. Place in the refrigerator to chill and thicken while you make the waffles.
- Rub a waffle iron with coconut oil and heat on the highest setting.
- In a small bowl whisk the protein powder, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Lightly whisk the egg and add it in, along with the milk and lemon zest, and whisk until smooth. Adjust the milk accordingly (see FAQs).
- Spoon the batter into the middle of the waffle iron, spreading out only slightly, and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Drizzle with the thickened lemon syrup and DEVOUR!
