Oooooh yeah. Dean Martin (the epitome of coolness) tunes playing while the intoxicating scents of fresh perked coffee and chocolate waffles fills the house.
Now THIS is the way to start a morning.
Shelly's Chocolate Protein Waffles
1 cup Almond Flour
1/2 cup Chocolate Protein Powder (I use this)
1/2 cup Multigrain Pancake Mix (I use this)
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa
2 Eggs, beaten
3 Tablespoons Sugar Free Torani Syrup (I used SF Vanilla)
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
1/2 cup Vanilla Soy Milk
Electric Waffle Maker
Pam nonstick cooking spray.
Variation: add 1/4 cup Unsweetened Toasted Coconut to the batter to make "Almond Joy" pancakes.
Heat waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Mix all ingredients together till well combined. When waffle maker is heated. Spray lightly with Pam. Pour batter onto iron (amount according to your makers instructions). Put lid down and cook till done. My waffle stick maker has a darkness setting I set between 3 & 4 and it beeps when it's done. My maker makes 2 and 1/4 batches from the recipe (so about 19 waffle sticks.)
They freeze well. I wrap them in foil and then place them in a freezer Ziploc baggie. Just pull them out and toast them like you would Eggo's or any other frozen waffle. Smear 'em with Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, or sweetened Ricotta Cheese for a quick breakfast on the go.Optional Toppings:
Sugar Free Maple Syrup
Land o Lakes Sugar Free Whipped Cream
Sliced Strawberries or Bananas
Peanut or Almond Butter
SF Torani or Maple Syrup sweetened Ricotta Cheese
Sugar Free Jam
Sugar Free Caramel Syrup
Oh and you can bet when the weather gets warmer I will be topping one of these with a scoop of Protein Ice Cream.

Hey Shelly,
I took your microwave choc. cake and toasted it this morning for breakfast! I had it with banana and !/2 tea. of peanutbutter drizzled on the top. TOTALLY Yummy. This sounds good too! Love Chocolate for breakfast.
Yum!
where do you find almond flour? I have never heard of. Is this a Trader Joe's item or any grocery store? thanks
OliveOilTan: *FYI: Almond meal and flour are both just ground up almonds. Almond flour is most often made with blanched almonds (no skin), whereas almond meal can be made either with whole or blanched almonds. The consistency is more like corn meal than wheat flour. I find that for the most part they can be used interchangeably. I mostly make my own by whizzing raw almonds (skin on) in my mini food processor or coffee grinder but this time I had a bag of Almond Meal from Trader Joe's (health food stores, Whole Foods, Henry's stores like that carry it) and used that.
Hope that helps,

And I thought I'd never be able to enjoy waffles again! Thank for this wonderful recipe!
I don't own a waffle maker (and don't have room to store one if I bought one). Could I use this recipe to make pancakes? Or would it not work as well?
Nope this one wouldn't work as pancakes. But use the search box on the left under my before and after pic and type in pancakes you will get a few alternatives.

I just made these this morning and they are SO good! I'm out of almond flour but I'm going to get some more and make a huge batch and freeze them! Thanks!
