Lucky, Lucky Me, Me*

*A close cousin of “Happy, happy joy, joy.” 😉

So, I ran across an easily adaptable waffle recipe (aren’t they all?) and had a go at it. Lucky, lucky me, me. I even recalled we had some waffle plates to go in a little electric grill.

Dry ingredients:

1.75C flour (my modification: amaranth flour with a bit of vanilla flavored protein powder)
1Tsp baking powder
0.25Tsp salt

Wet ingredients:

2 egg yolks
1.75C milk (my modification: cream!)
0.50C oil

Separate:

2 egg whites, whipped to stiff peaks. I added a tablespoon of powdered sucralose and about 0.25Tsp of vanilla extract.

Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients. Mix the two together. Fold in the egg white mixture. Apply to hot waffle iron. Serve topped with butter and syrup of some kind or with berries or whatever. Enjoy.

Other ingredients: I also added a bit of ground flax seed and some chia seeds.

Even with my mods, the waffles came out very light, tasty and toasty, and served as a good “nuncheon” or afternoon tea (without the tea, TYVM :-)).

No, no pictures. The waffles didn’t last long enough to allow picture taking.


Someone may wonder why the substitutions. Continue reading “Lucky, Lucky Me, Me*”
