High-Protein Savory Quinoa Waffles in under 15-min.

Fluffy, high-protein, low-carb, flourless, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free waffles? In less than 15 minutes? Yep. I was craving waffles today, tired of sticky-sweet breakfasts. Quinoa is a tasty ancient Incan superfood. Even better, it’s a complete protein! Quinoa is a seed related to beets and spinach, not a grain. This recipe calls for soaking the quinoa seeds overnight. If you can remember to do this, the rest is a snap. Soaking removes bitter lectins and saponins from seeds so they’re easier to digest. Or you can use pre-sprouted quinoa by TruRoots, found in any healthy grocery, however this is optional. If you have a super-blender such as a BlendTec or VitaMix, you can even dispense with soaking, and just blend the raw quinoa into all the ingredients in the morning. Ha ha! Ready to start? This recipe will go very fast, so make sure your waffle-maker is hot and ready before you blend the ingredients. Makes 4-6 waffles, Serves 2

What topping to choose?
Today I topped them with Redwood Hill Goat Kefir and cilantro.

More waffle topping ideas:

• Fried egg, avocado, cilantro, and pico de gallo
• Greek yogurt or plain goat yogurt with chives
• Kefir with chopped green onions or any chopped herbs
• Tuscany Mushrooms with Garlic and Lemon 

Here they are cooking. Are you ready for a fluffy, low-carb treat?
