Found that CBS kids weekend is carrying "Recipe Rehab". It was
available for a while via over the air broadcast TV, then disappeared.
But now it's back.

Basically two "chefs" take a family's favorite meal and rehab it to be
lower calorie and healthier. This week they reimagined "Chicken and
Waffles". The better recipe was "Crispy Chicken Whole Wheat Waffles and
Vanilla Agave Syrup" and the second place recipe was "Waffle Chicken
Skewers With Maple Cashew Dipping Sauce".

It's fun to watch, but those ingredients aren't in our pantry and not
likely to be available locally.
Simply Organic Whole Madagascar Vanilla Beans
365 Everyday Value Light Agave Nectar
Watusee Organic Chickpea Breadcrumbs
Planters Raw, Unsalted Cashews

My googlefoo is failing me today. Couldn't find the full recipes. Did
get kind of close -
https://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/healthy-waffle-recipes/

YMMV, but I'd go for waffles, salted butter, maple syrup - without the
chicken.

Any vanilla bean will do.

You'll find any "365" stuff at Whole Paycheck.

You'll never find raw cashews and the creators of that recipe didn't,
either. It's a quibble, but "raw" cashews have been orasted once,
and "roasted" cashews have been roasted twice.

Yeah. Syrup and fried chicken is a hard pass for me.

Yeah, true raw cashews are poisonous.

Yeah. I don't get the chicken waffle stuff. Sounds bad to me,

No, but I can see Outer Mongolia from the food desert I live in.

My kids love that when we go to Huckleberry's. I'm not a fan of fried
chicken, and adding syrup to it turns my stomach.

Waffles are a specialty of mine though, but I really need a much more
expensive waffle iron, I haven't had a lot of luck with the last couple
semi-cheap ones I bought as compared to the "golden waffle" ones that
were in a couple hotels we've stayed, but I digress.

I don't think whole wheat would taste very good as a waffle. Probably
the healthiest I've made were Almond Flour Waffles. They're a bit
coarse and heavy and my wife doesn't like them, but I and the kids did.

Here's my recipe for four:

Mix dry first:
2 & 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup malted milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 handfuls of crushed pecans
1 teaspoon(just a spoon) of Monkfruit sweetener (or whatever sweetener
you want to taste, but Monkfruit is best)
2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix in wet:
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-4 oz (1/2 container) Yoplait Vanilla Yogurt
1/2 Cup Milk
4 large egg yolks

Fold in:
4 large egg whites beaten separately until fluffy (not quite meringue.)

Cook as normal for waffles (about 2 minutes per side)
