WAFFLES ANYONE????

So I have been dying to use this super cute heart shaped waffle maker I bought at Goodwill. I love but it has been trying at times to come up with a stable recipe for the maker. I remember a few years ago I had to throw away a maker (it was used from Goodwill) because the batter just stuck to well and I could NOT get it out. lol...oh well.  But now--I think I came up with one that's pretty good. I'm still going to work on it but my husband gave them the 2 thumbs up.
*Plus make extra and freeze for easy breakfast...oh yeah baby!

6 eggs, separated
6 ounces of cream cheese
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp grated nutmeg

Preheat waffle iron.
Spray with non-stick coating
In one bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.  In a separate bowl, mix yolks(I scramble them up first) with cream cheese and protein powder, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth. Add whites mixture to the yolk and FOLD in...no stirring and mixing.
Once the waffle iron is ready, add about 2 heaping tablespoons to each section. Mine were hearts so you might need a little more for the squares or Belgum ones. Let them cook about 4 min..my waffle maker beeps when done..now I did let them sit about a min longer so they browned more but it's not needed. Serve immediately with warm butter and warm sugar free syrup or you can freeze and toast later -maybe on a lower setting.

Enjoy!!! ♥...Happy Valentine's day!

  1. This recipe looks super easy and sounds scrumptious. Do you have nutritional info especially carb count? I would appreciate it if you do.
