1 Carb Waffles

This recipe is a game changer.  Have you heard of a one carb waffle before? Essentially it’s a waffle….that ONLY HAS ONE DANG CARB IN THE WHOLE WAFFLE!
Now, I don’t know about you but when I think of waffles I think of big fluffy Belgium waffles that contain gobs and gobs of carbs.  So…is it actually possible to make a waffle that only has ONE carb in it…and actually still tastes good?!?
I’m here today to tell you that yes, it is. And it’s glorious and can make all your healthy waffle dreams come true 🙂

Now I have to preface this by saying it’s not going to taste EXACTLY like a regular waffle. I mean come on, there is only so much we can do with one carb folks! But it’s a super healthy, basic recipe that tastes super indulgent for me after I dress the waffle up with some yummy toppings and definitely satisfies all of my carb cravings.
So…how is it possible to make a waffle with so little carbs? One secret ingredient…protein powder! That’s right: these waffles are low carb AND high protein. WIN-WIN!!!!

The only ingredients you need to make this waffle are one scoop (30 grams) of protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, one egg and water.  That’s it!
I always combine the protein powder and baking soda first, then the egg, then you just add enough water to consistency and whisk together until combined.

Pop it into a waffle maker with some non-stick cooking spray, and after a few minutes you have a waffle!

There are protein powders that work better than others for this recipe, and the exact amount of carbs will vary by the protein powder.  Technically this recipe pictured features Quest Peanut Butter Protein Powder(affiliate link) that actually has two grams of carbs per serving. I have also made waffles using their Multi-Purpose Protein Powder and that powder only has one carb per serving.  Any powder from Quest works well for this recipe as well as any powder from Pescience. I LOVE the Pescience Snickerdoodle Protein Powder: that only has one carb per serving as well.
The BEST part about making a one carb waffle??? ADDING TOPPINGS! Since the base is so healthy you can add fun toppings and still have a super healthy breakfast! I follow a very high protein diet plan and the waffle pictured below is one of my FAVORITE breakfasts to make that is high protein, low carb and tastes amazing!
