Vegan Gluten Free Protein Blueberry Almond Waffles

I am a huge breakfast person (if you haven't realized already). My mom and dad make waffles every weekend. And when I went off to college I wanted to continue the tradition. I hope to continue this tradition for the rest of my life! There is just something about Sunday mornings. Everyone slows their pace down. After my workout this morning, I went to HEB to buy some Almond Flour. I wanted to mix buckwheat flour with something, and after research almond flour seemed like the perfect fit.

I don't know about you, but every time I eat waffles or pancakes I am ALWAYS hungry again within the hour! So to prevent this, I added my GNC Vanilla Protein powder. 

This recipe is awesome. Sweet and protein packed, without the fatty oils, eggs, butter and sugar! So go ahead, put on a pot of coffee. And surprise your roommates, boyfriend, girlfriend, kiddos with this delicious Sunday morning breakfast.
