This is a simple, high-protein breakfast that has a short ingredient list. And a short cooking time.

These waffles are built around three ingredients you likely already have, and they come together in just a few minutes. There are no powders and no complicated steps. If you wake up on a Sunday morning craving waffles but don't have any, this recipe was made just for you.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices 45-calorie whole wheat bread
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Instructions
Soak the bread slices in the egg whites and vanilla mixture until fully absorbed.

Place two slices at a time into a preheated waffle iron. Cook for a few minutes, or until they reach your preferred texture. They're great softer or crispier. It just depends on how long you leave them in.
