Breakfast foods are hands-down my favorite. Give me a stack of waffles and I am a happy girl. Even on a flexible diet plan, the carbohydrate content of traditional waffles can be hard to work with.

I recently discovered this Low-Carb waffle recipe from Amanda Bucci. Amanda is an uber inspiring fitness entrepreneur and bikini competitor. In one of her videos she said if this waffle isn’t a part of your life, you aren’t living. She’s not lying. This recipe is a godsend for those of us who love those carby breakfast foods but also love a trim waistline.

These waffles are loaded with protein and can be topped with your favorite source of healthy fat. Perfect for a high-fat high-protein diet, or the Metabolic Diet, or competition prep.

Cooking Instructions

Pre-heat your waffle maker before starting the batter.

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Add in a small amount of water to get the consistency slightly runny, but still viscous.

Spray waffle maker with a non-stick oil spray. Place half of the batter in the waffle maker. Cook according to your waffle maker’s direction. Repeat with the remaining batter.
