Simple High-Protein Vegan Waffles Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of oat flour
- 1/2 cup of vegan protein powder (choose a flavor of your preference, chocolate or vanilla works best)
- 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon natural almond butter (or any nut butter)
- 1 cup of almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- A dash of vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Gather all your ingredients. Preheat your waffle maker according to its specific instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the oat flour, vegan protein powder, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until it becomes a paste. Add the almond butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until all ingredients are combined and there are no dry spots left. Be careful not to over mix as it can make the waffles tough.
- Let the batter sit for about five minutes while your waffle maker heats up. This will allow the ground flaxseed time to absorb some liquid and thicken slightly.
- Once heated, lightly grease your waffle maker with a bit of oil or cooking spray if needed to prevent sticking. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of your waffle iron according to its size and close it up.
- Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions – usually for around five minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Carefully remove from waffle iron once done cooking and repeat with remaining batter.
