Almond Protein Waffles with Stone Fruit & Almond Streusel

Protein-rich breakfast is a great start to the day to maintain energy throughout the morning. These waffles are not only high in protein but gluten free, making them an ideal menu item for GF and vegetarian diets. Swap out seasonal fruit for the stone fruit, but don’t skip the streusel. It adds a great crunch and additional flavor. Created by foodthinque on behalf of Almond Board of California.
