Waffles seem like a naughty rare treat for breakfast but my versions are made with gluten free or wholemeal flour, protein and no added sugar (sweeten with maple syrup, fruit and yoghurt). They're easy to prepare and so filling. Why not make a large batch and freeze them. The great thing about this recipe is you can make 2 chocolate and 2 protein waffles or adjust the ingredients and have 4 of the same. Also add maple syrup if you have a sweet tooth or extra protein if you're a gym goer. You can use a waffle maker but I'm using a silicone mold from amazon. It was around £4 and is brilliant.
