I had the idea for these Gluten-Free Strawberry Waffles kind of out of the blue. I bought this strawberry powder awhile back to make Strawberry Cream Coconut Cups and fell in love with it! It tasted delicious and I had so many ideas for different recipes going through my mind!
Strawberry Powder isn’t the only awesome thing about this recipe, I don’t know about you but I LOVE a gluten-free goodie! My tummy always thanks me when I make something gluten-free. Yes, gluten-free is trendy, and that’s why I stay away from the gluten-free flour mixes, they always have to many ingredients! In my opinion, it would be better to just eat a good quality flour than those mixes. My favorite gluten-free choice………..almond flour! It works perfectly in so many desserts, it’s high in protein, and it’s just crushed almonds!
As I was mixing together the waffles I realized just in the almond flour there were 96 grams of protein! In the whole batch about 130 grams! Why does that matter? In our house, the word protein is pretty popular.
If you’ve ever seen my husband you would understand why I hear the word protein a hundred times a day….. well maybe not a hundred but there are days its close.
Some things I may hear: “How much protein is in that?” “Can you make me a protein shake?” “I haven’t eaten enough protein today!” “Can you make me an omelet with a half carton of eggs?”
Well, when you’re keeping up with a body like his I guess you need protein.
That’s why I was pretty happy to see the amount of protein that was in these waffles ( I figured up about 130g per batch!) I knew it would make him light up and it did! I hope you try these Gluten-Free Strawberry Waffles!
Waffles are just pancakes with abs- unknown
