   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.

   [Original recipe for the Waffle McGriddles](https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVb65tPoWH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)

   **For the waffles (1 serving of 3-4 mini waffles):**

   ****MACROS:*** 131 cals (16g P • 15g NC • 0.5g F)

   **Note: I use a mini waffle maker so I usually get 2 thick waffles with an extra 1 or 2 smaller ones

   **Ingredients**

   15g vanilla whey/casein protein powder (I use PEScience brand)

   10g all purpose flour (sub oat flour)

   1/2 tsp baking powder

   30g egg whites

   60g unsweetened applesauce (sub pumpkin puree/mashed banana)

   Baking spray as needed

   **Directions**

   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!
