These are our go-to waffles when we only want to make breakfast once in a week.
I don't know about you but time just seems to go faster now than it ever has before. And with kids running at 100 mph it seems to go even faster. I had struggled for a long time getting something together for breakfast that would keep my kids full until their next meal time and keep their blood sugar stable enough that we wouldn't immediately have a meltdown or attitude storm. While this isn't a perfectly balanced meal by any stretch, it is one that they enjoy and I can sneak in some protien.
We all know that kids love beige foods. My middle guy is currently on a "only eat beige" kick and being that we are gluten free, and we are realizing that he probably has hypoglycimic issues (hangry is the only kind of hunger he experiences), feeding him in a timely manner something that will keep his sugar levels semi-stable has become even more important.
We started out with a normal waffle recipe and scaled it for large batch convenience. Then we experimented with exchanging the sugar for xylitol so that there was less of a blood sugar impact. (Only less because we are still using blood sugar impacting flours. I will work on a recipe soon that exchanges those flours too.) Then we experimented with putting protien in the waffles and that worked out well. We experimented with going up to 2 cups of whey and found that 1 cup is a really good place to stay, but we in courage you to try your own blend, just make sure the total amount of dry product is the same.
One thing I will warn you about with putting whey in the waffles is that it gives off an odd smell when cooking but you cannot taste the difference, I promise!
Please let me know what you think!
