Additional Macro and Ingredient Tips:

1. If avoiding gluten, you can use a gluten free flour, add baking powder for leavening/fluff.

2. If needing more fat in your meal, add extra butter or add nuts as a topping. More fats will moisten the waffles.

3. If needing to reduce fat, substitute egg white in the recipe and leave out the peanut butter. Consider adding 20g yogurt for moisture.

4. If protein content is too high, reduce the amount of whey.

5. If you need higher protein content, add more whey or replace half the milk with 60g yogurt.

6. If needing less carbs, reduce the flour and reduce the milk at the same ratio.

7. To really bump the carbs higher, use more flour and increase milk at the same ratio. You can also add banana or blueberries into the mix.
