chocolate waffles

image prep time: 5 minutes (not including time to make the hard-boiled eggs or hot fudge sauce) cook time: 8 minutes yield: 2 waffles (1 per serving)

2 large eggs

2 hard-boiled eggs ( see here )

2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener ( see here )

1 tablespoon vanilla-flavored egg white protein powder

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon almond extract

Melted coconut oil or coconut oil spray, for the waffle iron

¼ cup Hot Fudge Sauce ( see here ), divided, for serving

1. Preheat a waffle iron to high heat. Place the raw eggs, hard-boiled eggs, sweetener, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a blender or food processor and combine until smooth and thick. Add the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and extract and pulse to combine well.

2. Grease the hot waffle iron with melted coconut oil. Place 3 tablespoons of the batter in the center of the iron and close the lid. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.

3. Remove from the waffle iron and serve with 2 tablespoons of the hot fudge sauce, if desired.

4. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons of hot fudge sauce.

note: You can make these waffles extra chocolaty by using chocolate-flavored egg white protein powder and/or chocolate extract instead of vanilla or almond extract.
