• Total Time: ~20 minutes

• Servings: 4 waffles

🧾 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour

• 2 tbsp coconut flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk

• 2 tbsp melted butter (or olive oil)

Protein Boost:

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

• ½ cup cooked, chopped chicken (or turkey/sausage)

• 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened)

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat Waffle Maker
   Turn on your waffle iron and let it fully heat up. Lightly grease with oil or butter to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients
   In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, and melted butter until smooth.

4. Make the Batter
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well until a thick batter forms.

5. Add Protein & Cheese
   Fold in mozzarella, parmesan, cream cheese, and cooked chicken. The batter will be thick and chunky—this is normal.

6. Cook the Waffles
   Spoon batter into the waffle maker and spread slightly. Cook for 4–6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7. Cool Slightly
   Let waffles rest for 1–2 minutes before removing to help them firm up.
