I had been seeing some savory waffles pop up on my Instagram feed and I need more breakfast options for the weekdays that aren’t super high in Weight Watchers SmartPoints. Provided the turkey bacon is already cooked and you multi-task the cooking of the waffles and egg whites then the meal really does come together in about 15 minutes.

This is also a very versatile recipe and you can make your own substitutions for your own liking or dietary needs. You can also make pancakes as the vehicle for the sandwich!

15 Minute Maple Waffle Sandwiches

Author: Alex’s Sassy

Kitchen Recipe type: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Prep time: 7 mins

Cook time: 8 mins

Total time: 15 mins

Serves: 1

• ½ cup Kodiak Cakes power cakes mix
• ½ cup water
• ½ teaspoon chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons sugar free maple syrup
• 2 slices ultra thin sharp cheddar
• 2 egg whites (or ⅓ cup liquid egg whites)
• 4 strips low sodium turkey bacon
• ⅛ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
• Cooking spray (I prefer coconut oil)

• Preheat waffle iron to your desired crispiness setting. I use 3.5 so I can get sturdy, crispy waffles.In a small bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes mix, water, chia seeds, and maple syrup.
• Once the waffle iron is preheated, spray the iron with the cooking spray and then spread mixture throughout half the iron so you can have 2 waffles for the sandwich.
• While the waffles are cooking, over medium-high heat, spray a small frying pan with the cooking spray and add the egg whites and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until the whites become solid.
• Once the waffles are done cooking, add 1 slice of cheese on top of each waffle so they can begin to melt.
• Slice the turkey bacon in half to make eight smaller strips and lay 4 on top of each slice of cheese.
• Place the egg whites over turkey bacon strips and fold the sandwich together.
• Eat immediately or expect soggy waffles.

For Christmas, I received a Cuisinart waffle maker and I have used it way more than I thought I would mainly because I have discovered Kodiak Cakes last year. Kodiak Cakes are awesome! I like their Power Cakes because of the extra protein and it is also not sugary. (I have not been sponsored or received monetary compensation for this post, I just really like Kodiak Cakes.) The waffles are not sugary themselves but the banana and maple syrup add the sweetness to balance everything out. If you prefer sweet, feel free to add more stevia (or your preferred sugar substitute) or even swap for real sugar but please note, it will change the nutrition facts and Weight Watchers SmartPoints (if you follow).

15 Minute Nutty Chocolate Waffles

Kitchen Recipe type: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Prep time:  10 mins

Cook time:  5 mins

Total time:  15 mins

Serves: 1 serving

Ingredients

• ½ cup Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mix
• ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 egg
• 2 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• ½ Tablespoon chopped walnuts
• 1 packet stevia
• 1 medium banana (small or large are also fine)
• ¼ cup sugar free maple syrup
• Cooking spray (optional)

• Pre-heat your waffle iron.In a medium sized bowl, whisk all ingredients together except for the banana, maple syrup, and cooking spray until well combined.
• Once the waffle iron is pre-heated, if you prefer, spray the iron for a non-stick coating. (Optional)
• Pour the batter as evenly as possible over the iron. If you are only making a single serving, expect the batter to not completely coat the entire iron.
• Close the iron and set to your desired crispiness. On my Cuisinart 4 piece Belgian waffle maker, I set it to level 3, which is a medium setting.
• While the waffles are cooking, thinly slice the banana into bite-size pieces.Once the waffles are finished cooking (mine has a green light that comes on), carefully remove each waffle and transfer over to your serving plate.
• Add the banana slices on top of the waffles and the remaining slices can be spread out around the plate.Pour the maple syrup over the waffles and banana slices. Enjoy!

Totally clueless on how to re-create this fun breakfast idea in my own waffle iron, I got lucky when a Weight Watchers member did an Instagram takeover and shared her recipe. After testing it out, the recipe was easy and tasty but not quite to my liking. I prefer more vegetables, more cheese, and animal protein so after several takes, I finally created a good base recipe!

For those looking at the pictures or reading the recipe and thinking but wait – I don’t like some of this stuff or uh oh I don’t have a spiralizer, it’s okay, I’m going to walk you through it. First off, the eggs and cheese serve as a binding agent for the potatoes and other ingredients, so if you are looking to cut corners for calories or Weight Watchers SmartPoints, I would advise to leave the eggs alone but scale back to no less than 1/4 cup of the cheese.

If you want a bigger, more protein-packed waffle, go ahead and add more of that goodness! I found the blend of spinach, red onion, green peppers, and mushrooms to be the best for my palate and cooks well. Sometimes I’ve done leafy green blends such as spinach, kale, and collard greens and they’ve tasted fantastic. I’ve also varied the mushrooms.

Sometimes they’re white, sometimes they’re baby bella, sometimes they’re an exotic blend. If you don’t have a spiralizer, that’s okay! You can just dice the green peppers with a knife or food processor. Interested in purchasing a spiralizer, though? I highly recommend this brand from Inspiralized. I love bulking up my meals with vegetables so I strongly urge you to keep them in your waffle but if there are others you prefer, go ahead and use them!

If you’re vegetarian, clearly omit the slice of turkey bacon. I love the salty, smoky, meaty flavor it adds to the waffle, which I felt was missing the first time I tried this recipe out. Chicken sausage, tofu sausage, regular bacon, ham, and turkey are also great substitutions or additions. My point is, this waffle is so versatile, you can easily make it your own. Sometimes I cover my waffle in sriracha and some days I prefer a side of ketchup for dipping. Maybe even a nice topping of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for a little Mexican flair!

Whatever you end up doing with your waffle, tag me in your photos so I can see what you came up with!

I wish I had this idea years ago, but honestly I can’t take any credit for the potato waffle. I have to thank Chef AJ for sharing Sandy’s original Potato Waffle post on Vegans Eat Yummy Food Too, and Sandy for the unique creation! I personally can’t get enough of them so here I am spreading the message. Another version is the Oil-Free Hashbrown Waffle from Susan Voisin of Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen.If you don’t have a waffle iron , I suggest you get one today. They are a great price – right around $25. If you’d like you can order the Cuisinart model I use, here on my plant-based store.

If you enjoy this recipe as much as I have, please share with everyone in the comments section below. Let us know what you’re topping the waffle with or what dish you’re creating with it. I’d love to try any new ideas you have.

Ingredients

• 1 yukon gold potato

Directions

Cook the potato whole either in a steamer or the microwave. In a steamer a yukon gold potato will take about 20-25 minutes. Smaller varieties, like fingerling potatoes should be done in 15-20 minutes. If using a microwave, a yukon gold potato will cook fully in 5 minutes.While the potato cooks plug in and turn on the waffle iron. I suggest putting it on high heat to crisp the outside of the potato.

When the potato is cooked it is ready to become a waffle. Place the potato on the back half of the waffle iron and close the lid.With a towel or hot pad press down on the lid to flatten the potato. Leave a space of ½ – 2 inches between the top and bottom of the iron.Let it toast for about 4-5 minutes. Then lift the lid and carefully transfer the waffle to a plate. I use a fork to help lift the waffle off the iron.

Let the potato cool for a couple minutes, and then serve. It’s very tasty on its own so you may want to enjoy it minimalist style. You can also dress it up for more flavor and variety. My favorite way to enjoy this recipe is by toasting 2 potatoes and making a Potato Waffle Sandwich. I usually sandwich together lettuce, tomato and onion with either fresh avocado slices or oil-free hummus (bean spread). Another great way to enjoy is cover a single potato with smashed avocado or hummus and and top with cherry tomato halves.

I also enjoy a sweet version of the potato waffle. Very soon I’ll be sharing my recipe for the Potato Waffle with Strawberries and Cream! Check back soon!

Makes: 1 waffle

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Chef’s Notes

The more tightly you close the lid when cooking, the flatter your waffle will be. The benefit of a flatter waffle is that you can make it have more crunch, which will also make it a little sturdier. The downfall of trying to make it very flat is that it’s easier for the potato to stick to the iron, which makes it more difficult to remove, and could end in a distorted or torn apart waffle. This is what happened in the picture below – not pleasant to clean.

You can also adjust the cooking time to as little as 3 minutes for a lightly toasted waffle or up to 8 minutes for a well toasted waffle.

Using other varieties of potatoes is definitely an option. I prefer the yukon golds when making waffles because they have great flavor, the skin is thin and they’re fairly moist. The russet potato is my least favorite to use because the skin is thicker and chewier. They also taste more like a flattened baked potato than anything else.

The skin of sweet potatoes tends to be a little thicker as well. With a sweet potato you may have to cut the potato in half for it to fit in the waffle iron – the shape will be different, but it still tastes great. Bottom line any potato variety will work well, but it’s mostly yukon gold waffles in my home. Experiment and see what you like best!

With great flavor and a super simple creation process, this item has been a fabulous addition to my weekly meals and will no doubt be a long-time favorite. If you like the idea of the Potato Waffle, please share this with your friends and family. Then if you don’t have a waffle iron yet, get one now so you can start making your own potato waffles!
