Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup vegan protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, vegan protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the almond milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Whisk these wet ingredients until they are well combined and have a smooth consistency.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Gently fold and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable, with a few small lumps remaining.
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the waffle iron surfaces with a small amount of coconut oil or use a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, using approximately 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a non-metal utensil to avoid scratching the waffle iron's surface. Place on a wire rack to maintain crispness and prevent sogginess.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Tips
- Batter Consistency is Key: Don't overmix your batter. A few small lumps are perfect and will help create a light, fluffy texture.
- Waffle Iron Temperature Matters: Preheat your waffle iron and use medium-high heat for the perfect golden-brown crisp exterior.
- Prevent Sticking: Always lightly grease your waffle iron with coconut oil or non-stick spray before each waffle.
- Keep Waffles Crisp: Use a wire rack when serving to prevent soggy bottoms and maintain that delightful crunch.
- Protein Powder Tip: Choose a high-quality, finely ground vegan protein powder for the best texture and flavor integration.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with fresh berries, sliced nuts, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup to make your waffles truly extraordinary.
- Batch Cooking: These waffles freeze beautifully! Make a double batch and reheat in a toaster for quick weekday breakfasts.
