Frosty’s Waffles

Our family has found in navigating the Type 1 Diabetes that consuming EASY, protein packed, low carb foods tend to help keep our blood sugar roller coaster a little more like a kiddie ride. And let’s be real my kid hates eggs.  I decided I can sit back and wish life was full of FROSTING, but instead have chosen to believe in teaching our child that frosting (sugar) creates more problems than it solves and that we never have to say NO but we have the power to make better choices. NO worries she still has sugar but we are teaching her how to balance it with protein and checking numbers for a lifelong education.

Here is our first recipe that has made life a little sweeter without too much sugar and without sacrificing taste. *Gasp* Everyone loves them!  In fact we will even substitute these tasty waffles for toast with peanut butter on top.

Our t1D fighter recommends to eat these is with 5ml-7ml = 5-7g carb. of Pure NY Maple Syrup from her Grandpa and Uncle’s Farm (this keeps her carb intake for breakfast under 20 carbs and keeps her belly full and healthy) drizzle syrup on the waffle and top with Plain Greek Yogurt (our favorite is Plain Fage) which gives a huge protein pack without the added sugar.

Frosty’s Waffle Recipe:

2 cups Blanched Almond Flour (this is the largest bag at best price we have found)

1/4 cup Coconut Flour 

1/4 cup Psyllium Husks

1/2 teaspoon Salt 

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

4 Tablespoonfuls melted Coconut Oil

3/4 cup unsweetened Almond beverage or favorite non-dairy substitute 

6 eggs

Mix all dry ingredients together. Add coconut oil and mix well. Mix remaining wet ingredients together. Combine wet & dry ingredients. Let sit for 5 minutes. Cook per waffle iron instructions.

This batch makes around 12 waffles on our Elsa Waffle Maker.
PRO TIP:  Cook a double batch of them ahead store them in the refrigerator or freezer and pop them in the toaster to heat them up for whenever my t1D fighter needs a good protein snack....without the syrup this can count as a free food!!

Estimated nutritional value: 10g.carb 15g protein per waffle (please use your own nutrition labels for making treatment decisions) I am not a nutritionist just a T1D mom on a journey to regulate mt child’s blood sugars and praying for practical everyday helps and of course a cure!
