Easy Vegan Protein Waffles

These Vegan Protein waffles are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with 36g of protein! They’re made with simple, healthy ingredients that you can feel good about eating every day.

I like to eat waffles. And while there’s definitely nothing wrong with regular old waffles, I do try to eat protein with each meal to fuel the gains. The solution? Protein waffles. That’s right – you can make delicious, crispy, fluffy waffles that are packed with protein! Not only that, they’re also vegan, gluten-free, and made with nutritious ingredients.

In order to make these waffles, you’ll definitely want to pick a protein powder with a good texture and flavor, as that’s going to be the determining factor in how they come out. My absolute favorite protein powder to use is this one from LIV Body because it comes in tons of fun flavors and has a great texture in recipes! For the waffles pictured, I used chocolate peanut butter flavor. However, feel free to use any flavor and I promise they will still come out amazing!

FAQ

Is it necessary to grind oats into flour?

  • Grinding oats creates a smoother batter, but you can also use oat flour if available for quicker preparation.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

  • While it’s best to cook waffles immediately after making the batter, you can refrigerate the batter for a short period and stir before use.

What’s the difference between water and non-dairy milk in the recipe?

  • Both water and non-dairy milk work well. Non-dairy milk can add a slightly richer flavor, but water is a convenient option.

How do I know when the waffles are done?

  • The waffles are done when they are golden brown and easily lifted from the waffle iron. Cooking times may vary, so check according to your waffle iron’s instructions.

Can I freeze leftover waffles?

  • Yes, allow them to cool completely, then store in a freezer-friendly bag. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
