Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop whey protein powder (unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices cooked turkey bacon
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 tomato slices
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and olive oil. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives.
Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed and pour the batter, cooking until the waffles are crisp and golden brown.
While the waffles are cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix in the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Once the waffles are ready, assemble the sandwich by adding two waffle slices per sandwich.
Layer each sandwich with mashed avocado, turkey bacon, baby spinach, and tomato slices.
Top with the remaining waffle slice, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
