GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS??? It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

You are never too young to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Now the problem with a regular PB&J is that it's typically made with full on fatty peanut butter, regular sugary preserves or jelly and non gluten free bread. So many things right there I refuse to put into my body...so I made a healthy gluten free, sugar free and low fat breakfast waffle peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Talk about out of this world. Instead of making plain waffles with peanut butter and jelly inside, I went one step further and mixed in the powdered peanut butter into the waffle mixture. If you can find this powdered, buy it, it's awesome! It's 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. You can purchase it online too if you follow the links. :) I found it at Jimbo's and I was thrilled. They just started carrying it. :) I did my little happy dance when I saw it. ;) Now, where's the chocolate version? LOL Then I mixed berries together, heated them up slightly and added some stevia. Perfect for this waffle sandwich. ;) One thing I also love about this breakfast, besides it's pure awesomeness, is that it has 12g or protein, 13g of fiber, high in iron and low in fat and natural sugars. WOW!

So go enjoy your Sunday after this amazing jump starting breakfast! I know I will. ;) I guarantee you'll be making this recipe more than once.

Directions 

Preheat waffle maker. Grind red lentils in coffee grinder. Mix all ingredients except fillings in a blender, Ninja Master, Bullet, etc. Once waffle maker is ready, lightly spray with EVOO. Poor in mixture and let cook until waffle maker is done. My waffle maker tells me when it's done. If yours doesn't...well make sure not to burn these beauties. LOL Fill waffles with any fruit, jelly, preserve, etc. and enjoy!
