Healthy Apple Bacon Waffle Sandwiches

Who doesn't love waffles?

Have you every heard the saying... "waffles are just pancakes with abs" 🤣

It's true!

Waffles have a CRUNCH (get is?? hahaha) to them that makes them more satisfying and delicious than pancakes.

Waffles can be sweet... drizzled with syrup, butter and fruit.

OR...

Savory and topped with fried chicken (my Southern girl style) or used as a vehicle to create a delicious, on the go, balanced breakfast.

Today... we're going to whip up a "healthier" waffle breakfast sandwich.

The Apple Bacon Turkey Waffle Sandwich Recipe

This waffle sandwich is perfect for:

Fueling your busy work day...
Or adding energy to a morning workout...

This recipe is easy enough you can whip up sandwiches for the entire family and be the favorite.

Go for it!

Apple Bacon Turkey Sandwich Ingredients

This is per sandwich!

1/2 apple spliced into 1/4 - inch slices
1 provolone cheese slice (or your favorite cheese)
2 slices of bacon
2 oz deli turkey breast

Dan and I don't each sandwich meats very often. So when I do purchase it, I will spend the little extra to get Boars Head.

Boars Head tends to have less preservatives and better quality meat. (At least that's what they claim!)

If you have other recommendations... please share them with me!

Healthy Waffle Sandwich Directions

Step 1

In a food processor or blender, lightly pulse the oats.

If using quick oats you can skip this step, but if using old fashioned oats... pulse down to a grainy flour.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and set aside.

Start heating up your waffle iron. I use the type... it's small and perfect for little cooking projects like this.

Step 3

Once your waffle iron is hot... cover with cooking spray (not necessary but it helps).

Pour in 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the waffle maker and close the lid.

Let it cook 1-3 minutes (you be the judge for your specific type of waffle iron) until slightly crispy on the outside and golden.

Get making waffles with all of your batter!

Step 4

Heat a skillet to medium heat and start cooking your bacon. It always takes a little longer for the bacon to cook. You can start this earlier if you want.

Once the bacon is getting done, cook your apple slices for about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Make your sandwich!

Load your waffle with turkey, apples, cheese and bacon and top it off with another waffle.

Snap a picture and post it up on your social account. Make sure you tag me or @ message me so I can see it.

If you use them for pre-workout... try to eat at least 30 minute before your actual workout.

Macro Tips

Need some suggestions to make these sandwiches work for you?

If you need to decrease the carbs, you can take out the flour and replace it with 3 egg whites. It will change the consistency a little but will still be great.

To decrease fat, opt for turkey bacon.
