High Protein Vegan Waffles

These high protein vegan waffles are light and fluffy with over 25g protein per serving!

Waffles have always been one of my favourite breakfast foods since I was a kid, and I still love them to this date. What I don’t love about your classic waffles though, is the high spike in blood sugar associated with the simple carbohydrates you get from the large amount of sugar and white flour. Starting your day like this as a kid feels like the best breakfast in the world, but as an adult, may intrude on your health goals for the day. That’s why I love these high protein vegan waffles – a great healthy swap on a classic breakfast treat!

Healthy Ingredient Swaps

I’m not sure about you, but starting my day with simple carbohydrates (when i’m not exercising in the morning), will usually always lead to a crash in energy within an hour or so after consuming these foods, as well as sugar cravings the rest of the day. To avoid this problem, I like to swap out white flour for whole wheat, and serve with fresh fruit to add lots of fibre, which helps to digest these sugars at a slower rate and help preserve this energy for longer.

Another great benefit with these high protein vegan waffles is the low fat, and of course high protein content they have. This, along with the fibre, will keep you full and fuelled long after your classic high sugar waffles would. With over 25g protein per serving, these waffles will start your day off right and help you reach your daily protein goals!

High Protein Vegan Waffles

Prep Time 7 minutes minutes

Servings 4

Author Alyssa

Equipment

• Waffle Iron

Ingredients

• 3 cups milk of choice (I used almond, but any type would work)
• 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups all purpose flour (I use whole wheat)
• 2/3 cup vanilla protein powder
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• dash salt

Instructions

• Plug in your waffle iron to preheat.
• In a large bowl, mix milk and apple cider vinegar, set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Some lumps are okay, but you don't want to over mix or it will reduce the fluffiness of the waffles.
• Scoop ~1/2 cup of the mixture at a time into your waffle iron and cook on medium high-heat for ~5 minutes.
