Ingredients
- 1 egg large, fresh, divided

- 1 tablespoon whey protein powder unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon almond milk or another milk of your choice
- 2-3 teaspoon granulated sweetener to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- In a clean and dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form. Use an elextric mixer. About 1 minute. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, blend all other ingredients until smooth.
- Fold the stiff egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in a circular motion with a spatula, taking care to keep the air bubbles intact.
- Preheat the mini waffle maker and brush both surfaces with melted butter or oil.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the waffle maker. Close the lid and cook the waffle until golden brown. Remove with a fork and let the waffle cool on a wire rack. Continue using the batter, brushing more butter onto the waffle maker as needed. The mix makes 4 mini waffles.
