Protein Waffle Egg & Sausage McGriddle
🧇🍳🥓
🧇🍳🥓
This isn’t your average drive-thru breakfast sandwich. We’re leveling up with homemade protein waffles (made with oats and eggs), a lean sausage patty, and a fluffy egg—stacked into a hearty, blood sugar–friendly McGriddle-style sandwich. It’s sweet, savory, and built to fuel your morning without the sugar spike.
🥞 Ingredients (Serves 1):
Ingredients:
For the Protein Waffles:
- .25 cup oat flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- .5 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- .5 tsp baking powder
- 1-2 tsp sugar free maple syrup
- a pinch of cinnamon
For the Filling:
- 1 egg
- 1 turkey sausage patty
- 1 slice reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- cooking spray or olive oil
Optional Toppings:
- Sugar-free syrup drizzle
- Spinach or arugula for fiber boost
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Make the Waffle Batter: In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and yogurt. Add egg and a splash of almond milk if needed to reach waffle batter consistency. Let sit 1–2 minutes.
- Cook the Protein Waffles: Heat a mini waffle maker, spray lightly, and pour in half the batter. Cook until golden and repeat with remaining batter.
- Cook the Sausage: Brown the patty in a skillet over medium heat, about 3–4 mins per side. Set aside.
- Make the Egg Round: Crack the egg into a greased mason jar lid or egg ring for that McGriddle shape. Cook until set, flipping if needed.
- Assemble the McGriddle: Layer one waffle with sausage, egg, and cheese. Add a light drizzle of sugar-free syrup if you like. Top with the second waffle.
