I love waffles. That’s all.
I need to explain something. I don’t like the cold. What’s the point in being cold when you can be warm. That’s probably why I don’t ski. BUT, Colorado is pretty much the most wonderful place on earth and since we do get cold, we really appreciate the other 3 seasons. But right now, it’s straight up disgusting cold outside. It’s not pleasant. It hurts to breathe in, your hands freeze the second you go outside, and pretty much 70% of people got in car accidents on their way to work. Well, I have a different reason to hate the cold. So I bought a giant mirror yesterday. Human size. So I had the guys put it in my car safe and sound, and by the time I got home, it had cracked. It got so damn cold outside, that the mirror wouldn’t even keep it’s straight shape. So it’s cold either cost me $120 or 7 years back luck. Either way, it’s a real bummer.
But life isn’t worth sweating the small stuff, no sirry bob. Here’s a positive note. I put together a giant lamp yesterday without breaking it!! I may be speaking too soon, because I don’t have a light bulb to see if it actually works, so please keep your fingers crossed for me. If it doesn’t work, I’ll definitely throw it across the room. Or at the broken mirror. I can’t earn any more years of bad luck anyways.
I leave for Vegas tomorrow. THANK.GOSH. Once I have a mirror that isn’t broken, I was thinking about posting pictures of all the outfits I plan on packing. I used to look at Julie from PB Fingers fashion page all the time because she would post her weekly work outfits and night out dresses and absolutely loved seeing the cute outfits she came up with and where she got it at. So I might just do that. If you don’t care about that and just want to see food, LUCKY YOU, I will have a recipe to go along with it, so you can just skip Vegas dresses. I promise they won’t be hoe-ish though, it’s too cold for hoe.
Oh. And I’m really craving eggs and jam right now. Yeah, jam. Sounds so good. That is all. Ktotesloveyoubye.
Please stop hating me for saying totes.

Made these for a treat last night. Tasted amazing as they look. One problem, they were very dry….choking hazard kind of dry. We didn’t have tapioca flour so I substituted arrowroot powder. Could the arrowroot be the reason they were so dry?
It could be, or maybe the protein powder you used?
I used 50% whey and 50% egg protein powder for the recipe when they turned out dry. My wonderful wife made them again this evening using all whey protein and they turned out amazing!
I used almond meal instead of arrowroot flour and the waffles were a hit at my breakfast table! Made another batch to freeze. Thank you!
Who hates on you for saying “totes?” … That is totes ridic. 🙂 Love your blog and when I’m done with my Whole 30 (or maybe Whole 60, I haven’t decided yet) I’m *totes* going to make these waffles!
xo, Meredith
I don’t really think this qualifies a Paleo. First off that tapioca flower has just as high of a glycemic index as Wheat and Flour. Apple sauce, more sugar, Maple syrup, more sugar, This meal is going to spike your insulin which is not good. This is just as bad as eating a flour waffle. Not saying its going to kill you but why is this considered Paleo?
sorry, man. sometimes I just like to give people options so they don’t feel like they have to leave those meals completely behind.
Can I sub gluten free all purpose flour for the tapioca flour?
Thanks
no clue, i haven’t worked with that flour
Just made these for breakfast and wow! Was worries they’d be starchy or chalky but not at all! I am not totally convinced about whey being paleo but I just finished a Whole 30 so i thought hey why not, let’s “test” whey. 😉 great recipe
What are your thoughts on hemp protein as a substitute for the whey protein?
These look yummy!
Hi! Tried making these, before even adding the protein powder mine were dry, is this batter supposed to be more runny? I added all the previous ingredients exactly as instructed, so not sure what happened.
It definitely should be runny so I’m not sure what happened. It could be based on the protein powder you used…
I have been doing the paleo thing since September and have enjoyed experimenting with different recipes.i stumbled onto your website and will definitely be visting often! Your humor and “ramblings” very much remind me of myself! 🙂 im going to try these waffles tomorrow!
