Protein & Chia Cinnamon Waffles

Waffle might as well be my middle name. Aside from dogs, they’re easily my favorite thing — for 2 reasons: 1) They’re SIMPLE 2) You can jazz them up with anything.

Today’s recipe takes 4 minutes from mix to mouth. I usually use regular pancake mix (not protein mix) and add more protein powder, but I had Kodiak on hand today so we’re rolling with it. Not only are these protein-packed, they’re full of omega-3’s, antioxidants, iron, and fiber thanks to the chia seeds! Let’s get to it.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Pancake/waffle mix
• 1/2 scoop Protein powder
• 1 tbsp. Chia seeds
• 1.5 tbsp. Egg whites
• Almond milk
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla extract

Instructions:

• In a bowl mix together all of your ingredients. Mix until no chunks remain.
• Lightly spray a waffle maker and place on medium-high.
• Once your waffle maker is nice and toasty, simply pour your mix in and wait for the ding.
• Top with your favorites! I chose raspberries and Walden Farms syrup. Other options could be bananas, strawberries, blueberries, almond butter, peanut butter, butter butter, or really ANYTHING at all.
