Instructions

Protein Waffles

Preheat waffle iron to 205 °C (400 °F) or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Add in the blender jar 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein, 1/2 cup almond flour, and 3 tablespoons butter. Blend until smooth. Scrape the sides of the blender (or bowl, if using immersion blender) to make sure all powders are mixed.
Add 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and blend until thoroughly incorporated (no visible cheese pieces left).
Brush the preheated waffle iron with butter or ghee, and pour the waffle batter in the center of the plate. This recipe makes 4 large waffles, so adjust the batter quantity according to your waffle machine size.
Cook the waffles for 5 minutes at 205 °C (400 °F), or until golden.

Keto Maple Syrup

Add to a saucepan 1 cup water, 1/2 cup allulose sweetener, 1 cinnamon stick, 10 cloves, 2 slices fresh ginger root, 1/16 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon blackstrap molasses (if using). Bring it to a boil then slow down to a simmer, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and evenly sprinkle 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum on top, whisk briskly until fully dissolved to avoid clumps. Add 1/4 teaspoon if having the syrup warm, or 1/8 teaspoon if having the syrup cold.

Notes

The recipe was developed for vanilla flavored whey protein. If you are using unflavored whey, add about 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, plus any keto sweetener of your preference. If using erythritol, I suggest about 30 to 40 grams (3 to 4 tablespoons).
