Start your morning right with this thai Raspberry Brie Grilled Waffles. Breakfast is the most important meal for women managing PCOS, as it sets the tone for blood sugar levels throughout the day. This recipe provides a balanced combination of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to keep you energized and satisfied until lunch.

Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Egg is provide complete protein with all essential amino acids. Coconut is contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy. Almond is provide healthy fats, protein, and magnesium.

Adequate protein intake is crucial for PCOS management as it helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduces cravings. Healthy fats support hormone production and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins essential for reproductive health.

Grilling allows excess fat to drip away while creating delicious charred flavors, making it an ideal cooking method for PCOS-friendly meals. This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your breakfast.

Ingredients

  • *The Waffles*
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tbsp. Flaxseed Meal
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tbsp. Swerve
  • 7 drops Liquid Stevia
  • *The Filling*
  • 1/2 cup Raspberries
  • Zest of 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 tbsp. Swerve
  • 3 oz. Double Cream Brie

Instructions

  1. Mix together all of the ingredients for the waffles in a container. Make sure that the consistency is smooth and there are no lumps.
  2. Heat a waffle maker (I use this waffle maker) and once hot, add your batter. Allow it to cook until the light turns green or the steam levels are low.
  3. Take the waffles out and allow them to cool slightly.
  4. Slice your brie and lay on top of the waffles while still warm so that the brie comes to room temperature.
  5. In a pan on the stove, heat butter and swerve. You can powder the swerve in a spice grinder.
  6. Once the butter is starting to brown and the swerve is dissolving, add your raspberries, lemon juice, and zest of 1/2 lemon.
  7. Continue to stir the mixture until it bubbles and becomes jam-like.
  8. Under the broiler, broil the brie until melted and the waffle slightly crisp.
  9. Assemble the waffle together with the raspberry filling and the brie. Put into a pan and “grill” for 1-2 minutes per side.
  10. Enjoy this delicious treat, or share!
