THM Breakfast or dessert

(To read the explanation of the THM eating plan see my post on 1-9-18)
This morning I tried something new for breakfast:



Yes, a chocolate waffle. Who wouldn't like having that on their eating plan? Here's the recipe:

Chocolate Waffle    E                         1 serving -makes 2 large waffles
1/3 cup old fashioned oats, ground into flour
1 generous tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large egg whites (or 6 tablespoons of egg whites from a carton)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
5 tsp of Gentle Sweet (or sweetener of your choice)
Pinch of mineral salt
Dash of vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Place the ground oats in a bowl and add the cocoa, egg whites, almond milk, Gentle Sweet, salt, vanilla and baking powder. Mix well.

Spray waffle iron and allow to heat. Pour in the batter. (This made 3 waffles on my iron).

The recipe would make a fun dessert with some Greek yogurt and berries on top. I ate mine with Greek yogurt this morning. And speaking of that...

Today's tip: this yogurt makes a wonderful E snack!

No fat, 15 grams of protein and 7 carbs (when the fiber is subtracted). Plus it is delicious! I love the coconut cream, strawberry and peach.
