Why make this recipe?

You don't want to miss out on these super fun low point waffles!

Weight Watcher Friendly - These mini waffles are only 3 points on my WW app for a serving which is equal to one crispy waffle.😁.

Since the new Weight Watchers plan is personalized you will have to input the ingredients used into your WW app to get your exact WW personal points.

Easy to Make - Preparing this Weight Watchers low point breakfast requires only 5 simple ingredients and 3 minutes of cook time.

Ingredients needed and substitutions:

Hash Brown Potatoes - We used Ore-Ida frozen hash brown potatoes for this recipe. If you have time you can make your own hash browns by grating a potato.

Cheddar Cheese - Reduced fat shredded cheddar of Fat Free Cheddar is great to add to your waffle batter but if you want some extra protein you can also add in some cottage cheese.

Scallions - Fresh chopped scallions add great flavor. If you don't like scallions sprinkle in your favorite chopped fresh vegetables.

How to Make Hash Brown Cheddar Waffles

1:  In a mixing bowl, beat eggs - add in potatoes, cheese, scallions, milk, salt and pepper - stir to combine.

2: Spoon about a ½ cup of batter onto your pre-heated mini waffle maker - close the lid and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Repeat until all batter is used.

3: Serving size is one waffle - you should be able to make 4 waffles with one batch of batter. Enjoy!!

Expert Tips

• Prep Your Ingredients: Use a bag of frozen shredded hash browns and shredded cheddar cheese or begin by grating your hash browns and shredding the cheddar cheese yourself. Crack and whisk the eggs in a bowl to create the egg mixture.
• Opt for a Healthy Batter: For a high protein waffle batter, try using a mixture of Kodiak cake mix combined with almond milk for a protein-packed alternative.
• Add Nutrients: Incorporate some pumpkin puree into your batter for added fiber and vitamins. This also adds a delicious autumn flavor to your waffles.
• Cooking Spray is Key: Before pouring your batter into the waffle maker, lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy exterior.
• Control Portions: Since you're focusing on a weight-loss program, use a mini waffle maker to control portion sizes. Mini waffles are perfect for portion control and can be satisfying without overindulging.
• Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with different toppings such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a dollop of light maple syrup. These toppings add flavor and nutrients without adding excessive calories.
• Go Savory: Top your mini waffles with a fried egg for a savory twist. The combination of runny egg yolk with cheesy hash browns is irresistible.
• Freeze for Later: If you're making a batch ahead of time, allow the mini waffles to cool completely before placing them in a freezer bag. They can be easily reheated in the toaster or air fryer for a quick breakfast option.
• Mix in Chocolate Chips: For a touch of sweetness, sprinkle some chocolate chips into the batter before cooking. This adds a delightful contrast to the savory ingredients.
• Serve with Cool Whip: If you're craving something creamy, serve your mini waffles with a dollop of light Cool Whip. It's a low-calorie alternative to whipped cream that still adds a decadent touch.
• Mindful Indulgence: While it's okay to enjoy treats like ice cream occasionally, be mindful of portion sizes. Consider serving a small scoop of low-fat ice cream alongside your pumpkin waffles for a special treat.
• Drizzle with Maple Syrup: A drizzle of maple syrup adds sweetness without overpowering the flavors of your waffles. Use a light hand to control portions and calories.
• Store Properly: After making your mini waffles, allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps maintain their freshness and crispness.
• Reheat with Care: When reheating frozen mini waffles, use a toaster or air fryer instead of a microwave for best results. This ensures they stay crispy on the outside while heating through evenly.
• Enjoy Variety: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. Whether it's pumpkin waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup or savory hash brown waffles topped with a fried egg, there are endless possibilities to explore.
