The blueberries looked good at the grocery so I got a big container of them. I had to use them up some how, so I decided to make some blueberry waffles. Everyone always eats blueberry pancakes, but I figured waffles could use some love with blueberries too!
I still have not decided whether I like waffles or pancakes more. It is a pretty close competition. Either way, these waffles were pretty dang good. I mean seriously. What isn’t to love about fluffy vanilla protein waffles filled with blueberries? And, I topped them with more blueberries, almond butter, and a almond spice square bar.
I haven’t been doing much dairy lately, so I used Sun Warrior vanilla plant protein. It is an awesome alternative dairy protein. When baking and cooking, it is very similar to casein protein because it absorbs a lot of the liquid.
