Thought I'd get in on the action for #WaffleWednesday with this yummy recipe for FUNFETTI PROTEIN WAFFLES aka Birthday Cake Waffles with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting!

Seriously though, rainbow sprinkles make everything better. You could absolutely make this recipe without them, but the again, they wouldn't be as awesome.

Waffles are an easy way to get a bunch of good-for-you protein in to my little carb-aholic's belly. So I'm all about whipping them up in different ways to keep him entertained and nourished. Plus, I found my husband snacking on them too!

This recipe makes 2 waffles - eat them both or save some for later. One waffle with frosting has 28.5 grams of Protein, 23.5 grams of Carbs and 8.5 grams of Fat.
