Multigrain Waffles

[GLC1968]

My jam is delicious, preservative free, organic...but it's still mostly sugar.

V - I've got a recipe for waffles that are 40/40/20 (carb/prot/fat) if you are interested. It's made with the Bob's Red Mill 10-grain mix and no protein powder (all real food). They are so good that even my husband eats them happily!

I'd love the recipe for the waffles. I like the idea of making a bunch on the weekend and freezing them. I do have a waffle maker.

I'm going to have to compare the sugar in maple syrup with the sugar in fruit only jam. I put a tbs of syrup on my waffles - 9 grams.

Yeah, I've become a sugar snob. But hey, I've lost 3% body fat since I started looking at it more carefully 5 weeks ago.

Lost nearly 30 kilos last year and I ate my jam every day. It's all about finding the right balance that works for you. keep up the good work!

Ain't that the truth.

I have another recipe that's quite similar. But I find it difficult to translate it to English. You know what, I'll make the recipe this weekend and take pics of every step I make.

Here's my waffle contribution:

Whole Grain Waffles

A drizzle of real maple syrup is my favorite topping, but fresh fruit is good, too.

papaver, I'll let you know if he has Brussels waffles (not Belgian waffles which don't exist at your end).

Cat's Healthy Waffles

Ingredients:
8 egg whites (or 2 whole eggs and 4 whites if you hate throwing away yolks like I do) If you buy containers of egg whites - use 1 cup of whites.
1 cup cottage cheese (ff works, but I usually use 1%)
1 cup Bob’s Red Mill 10-grain waffle and pancake mix
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 tsp of Splenda (optional)

Directions:
Blend egg whites, cottage cheese and vanilla in a blender until smooth.
Mix waffle mix and Splenda (if using it) in a bowl.
Pour wet into dry and mix until all wet.

Cook in waffle maker until done - spraying lightly with PAM between each batch. These take a little longer than regular waffles to cook.

Enjoy w/ sugar free syrup, honey, fresh berries, yogurt, cinnamon & sugar, PB or whatever your heart desires! This recipe serves 4.

To store: let cool completely on a wire rack and then freeze in air-tight container (Tupperware, Ziploc bag, etc). Toast lightly to reheat/recrisp.


You can totally make these without the Splenda. I've not tried them using real sugar, but that would probably work too. With the Splenda, they are mildly sweet and good hot out of the waffle iron (without syrup!).

Geeze, I had to get out of the house, and away from the Nutella jar that was singing its siren song.

So I went out for a 45 minute leisurely walk, the most activity I've done since the end of last month. My back felt a little bit uncomfortable when I got back home, but not bad, and it felt just fine again after a 5 minute laydown. So you guys are a good influence, sort of.

Now if the Nutella jar would just shut the heck up...

V - I don't think anyone can argue with the results you're getting - You've put in a LOT of hard work

Just for the record jam and syrup both have the same carbs per tbs.
