Most of you know that I coach a private weight loss group and provide detailed meal plans to help the girls reach their goals. I’m following the meal plans closely myself and am on my way to a completing a 40lb weight loss. Not everything is predictable but I’m on track to finish by the end of the year. These scones are part of our plan this week and they are such a treat! My kids were jealous, so I made a fresh ground whole wheat version for them.
The Fit Mama recipes won’t hurt a young person if they want to eat them once in awhile but the ingredients are more expensive than traditional ingredients and they are too low carb/low calorie for a steady diet for a growing child. It doesn’t take long for me to make a version for me and one for them and I’m excited to share both the recipes.
Fit Mama Protein Pumpkin Spice Waffles
3/4 tsp Vanilla Liquid Stevia
4 eggs
2/3 cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Tbs Coconut Oil, melted
2/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1/3 cup Coconut Flour
1/3 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp baking powder
Great Value Sugar Free Syrup for topping
1. Preheat waffle iron.
2. Sift together the coconut flour, protein powder, spice and baking powder. Stir in pumpkin, almond milk, eggs and vanilla stevia.
3. Spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray before filling each time. Fill with batter. My beligium iron shown takes 1/3 cup per waffle and cooks 2 at a time. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes. I set a timer instead of watching the guide lights. Too long and the waffle is dry and crumbly. Too little time and it’s floppy and won’t come out of the iron. 4 minutes is a lighter colored softer waffle, 5 minutes is a little darker with crisp edges.
4. Transfer to a plate and top with sugar free syrup. I prefer Great Value brand because it doesn’t have any nutrasweet and tastes great.
