On summer weekends, there's nothing nicer than a relaxing breakfast served in bed or at an outdoor table. We've adapted this classic waffle recipe so that it's Zone-friendly. Serve with turkey bacon and the fruit of your choice.
You can double this recipe and freeze the waffles in plastic bags. Just pop a couple in the toaster and top with fruit when you're ready to eat them. If you're planning to do this, be sure to slightly undercook them and cool completely before bagging and freezing.
Bed and Breakfast Waffles
Yield: 2 waffles (1 serving)
Ingredients
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup egg substitute (or 2 egg whites)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fructose
3 slices turkey bacon
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1 cup strawberries, slightly mashed, or 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
1. Blend cottage cheese, egg substitute, water, vanilla, and olive oil in a food processor until smooth.
2. Put oatmeal, baking powder, and sweetener in food processor or blender and process until powdered.
3. Mix the dry and the wet ingredients to form a batter. As the mixture stands, it will thicken and it may be necessary to add more water (a tablespoon at a time) to get a smooth consistency.
4. Cook in a waffle iron to the iron's specifications, usually about four minutes each.

If you want to make it a little sweeter without additional carbs, you might consider adding some stevia, an herbal sweetener with no calories. Check out the "cooking with stevia: section on SteviaInfo.com.
