I LOVE Chocolate: Chocolate Protein Waffles

I love having chocolate with breakfast! It makes my day 10 x better. This recipe is very filling and rich because I used avocado and protein powder, obviously. However, the waffles are very light because I whipped the egg whites. Serves 1 hungry girl, a.k.a. me 😉

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pitted avocado
  • 1 T cocoa powder
  • cinnamon ( use as much or as little as you like )
  • 1/4 protein powder ( I use soy protein)
  • 1 T agave nectar or honey
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 c original almond milk or milk of choice

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mash your avocado. Mix in the other ingredient, minus the egg whites.

2. In a small bowl, use a mixer to whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

3. Gently fold the egg whites into the avocado mixture until just combined.

4. Spoon the batter into a hot waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron’s  directions. (Mine made 2 waffles, but it all varies depending on the size of your waffle maker.)

5. Top your waffles with berries, syrup, powdered sugar, or you can do what I did. I put peanut butter in between my waffles and made a chocolate- peanut butter waffle sandwich. YUMM!
