Enjoying Food: Pumpkin Spice Protein Waffles w/ Pumpkin Cream Cheese Icing

It's that time of year when the world FALLS in love... with pumpkin everything! I know I'm a huge dork. But seriously, these pumpkin spice waffles are EVERYTHING. I made them a few days ago, and tweaked the recipe a bit today to get the PERFECT consistency and taste! I will probably be making these every morning now, no joke.

PUMPKIN SPICE PROTEIN WAFFLES W/ PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE ICING
286kcal: 10F/13C/36P (waffles only)

Ingredients:
- 1 scoop protein powder (I used trutein cinnabun)
- 14g almond flour
- 3 tbsp (46g) egg whites
- a dash of baking powder (about 1/2 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 75g canned pure pumpkin
- stevia to taste

Icing ingredients: I just used the pumpkin flavored Philadelphia cream cheese, however regular whipped cream cheese mixed with a little bit of stevia is AMAZING as well. There's something about cream cheese and pumpkin spice that just WORKS. They are just meant to be together. <3

Directions:
1. Heat up waffle maker.
2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
3. SPRAY waffle maker and pour in batter. This usually makes one big waffle and one smaller waffle.
4. When the waffles are done, top with cream cheese or whatever you want -- white chocolate chips and/or pumpkin spice m&m's go great with it! I always add 0 calorie butter spray and walden farms pancake syrup too. Enjoy!

Note: You can sub coconut flour for almond flour if you want. This will reduce fat and add carbs to better fit macros with a lower fat ratio. :)
