Hey everyone! I apologize for being gone so long. Christmas holidays as you know!
I have to admit I ate pretty bad..I still stuck to a healthy breakfast and lunch but splurged a bit on those delicious turkey dinners.
My Mom makes some awesome Christmas cookies! Anyways, after all this terrible eating I had to come home and get back to my healthy eating ASAP!
I started today with this super tasty Low Carb Chocolate-Chip Waffle! Yup you heard me right. Chocolate Chip Waffles for breakfast. And yes, they are in fact guilt-free.
So how might you ask is this crazy-delicious looking low carb chocolate chip waffle at all healthy? Well they just happen to be made with a few simple ingredients..
Low Carb Chocolate Chip Waffle
Serves: 1 Large Chocolate Chip Waffle

- 2 egg whites + 1 more egg white separated (or 2 egg whites + 1 whole egg)

- pinch of salt
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp almond milk, 30ml
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2-1 tbsp stevia sweetened chocolate-chips

Toppings (optional)
- sugar free syrup

Directions:

- In a medium bowl whip 2 egg whites to stiff peaks(I advise using a beater or your arm may die, yes it is a good workout but believe me it's not worth it, I tried haha).
- Once stiff, stir in your extra egg white, coconut flour, salt, vanilla, almond milk, baking powder and then chocolate-chips.
- Spray your waffle maker with oil then use a spatula to pour and spread the batter evenly.

Sounds awesome! If you like sugar-free jams I highly recommend ordering from this website: http://honeyworld.weebly.com/jams-jellies-sugar-free--maple-syrup.html
They make sugar-free jams as well as sweetened jams and coconut butters, peanut butter, almond butter..etc. Everything is amazing. (They had a tasting booth set-up where I live at a Christmas craft show and I tried almost everything..lol, I highly recommend Coconut-Pecan Butter or the jam I ended up buying and love, sugar-free strawberry ruhbarb jam!). Glad you like the recipe! :)

What is sugar-free syrup? Is it possible?

Haha yes! It is in fact possible, although it is artificial. Usually you can find it next to regular syrup. And it is sweetened with "sucralose". If you want to go the natural route, stick with pure maple syrup! Or you could top your waffle with sugar-free jam(basically natural fruit jam without added sugar) & natural peanut butter. yum!
