Vegan Protein Waffles

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Almond flour is gluten-free, while all-purpose flour is usually less expensive.

Make a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients: whisk together almond milk, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and the flax egg.

Add oat flour, plant-based protein powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt to the mixture.

Mix everything well, but don’t overmix—lumpy batter is happy batter.

If the batter thickens too much, add a splash of plant-based milk and stir until it reaches your desired consistency.

Grease your waffle iron.

Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, letting them cook a bit longer than your waffle maker’s timer suggests to allow them to crisp up.

Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite nut butter.
