Cauliflower Waffles You Can Top With Just About Anything

These cauliflower waffles are just fun and pretty much guilt free. The idea developed while I was looking for ways to increase vegetables at meals other than dinner. Focusing on breakfasts and quick lunches that didn’t involve a salad, I went for something that could be topped with just about anything and came up with waffles that use flax meal instead of flour.

I did say “pretty much guilt free.” That’s because you can top these yummy waffles with just about anything – savory or sweet. So feel free to pick and choose! In the video, I did a bacon avocado waffle (but feel free to choose a leaner meat) then another with sliced bananas and almond butter. Here are some other combos to try …

• Hummus & Cucumber
• Peanut Butter & Apple slices
• Smoked Salmon w/ Honey Mustard & Goat Cheese
• Scrambled Egg & Green Chile
