Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Raw Cashews This is a full bag at Trader Joes!
  • 1 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar Distilled would work too
  • 5-6 Eggs 5 makes them a little softer but more fragile
  • 3 TBS Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 3 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder I used Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel (stevia and monk fruit sweetened)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 6 TBS Coconut Oil liquified
  • 1 Cup Almond Milk unsweetened

Method
 

  1. Add the raw cashews to a bowl and cover with water. Then add in the vinegar. I generally let them sit overnight, but at least 4-6 hours would be best to help reduce the phytic acid on the cashews and make them easier to digest!
  2. After soaking has been completed, drain water off completely. I use a strainer.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron.
  4. Then add the rest of the ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, you can add the almond milk a bit at a time to make sure it does not get too runny.
  5. Cook the waffles for about a minute, more or less depending on the heat of your waffle iron. If they release easily with a fork when you open the lid, they are probably done. We have a nonstick waffle iron, so if yours is not non-stick, make sure you add a little oil before cooking.
  6. Top with your choice of fruit or homemade whipped cream with stevia!

Notes

  • Thrive Market has the best deal on the Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel. You seriously will not regret trying it. It's the best low carb protein powder I've come across. I love that it's easy to digest great for the gut. I feel super comfortable with my kids having collagen as well. Use my link to try out Thrive Market and make this waffles soon!
  • Since the protein powder I used has a bit of fiber in it, depending on the type you have, you may have to adjust the liquid or coconut flour slightly.
