Revisited a childhood favorite of mine, but with protein waffles! Used protein powder and unsweetened applesauce to create the “sweetness”, sandwiched with a plant-based burger, some egg whites and good ol’ american cheese.
1. Combine all ingredients until thick pancake batter consistency.
2. Lightly spray your waffle maker & scoop in batter. Let cook for 1-2 mins depending on your waffle maker’s temperature. Check halfway to ensure it doesn’t burn.
3. Once cooked, remove & let cool.
4. Repeat for the rest of the batter.
**For the full McGriddle (based on ingredients I use):**
****MACROS:*** 288 cals (39g P • 24g NC • 3g F)
**Ingredients**
2 protein waffles (above recipe) + 1 or 2 small extra pieces
Burger of choice (I used a plant-based burger, or sub with bacon!)
60g egg whites (sub whole egg)
1 slice of light american cheese
**Directions**
1. Cook your meat & egg. Add a slice of american cheese & sandwich between two of the protein waffles. If desired, throw back in the oven or air fryer for a few mins to let the cheese melt & waffles warm up again. Enjoy!
