Servings: 6
Calories: 361kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (175g), or 2 cups all-purpose flour, (240g)
- 1/2 cup plant-based protein powder, vanilla, (50g)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, or vegan butter, (55g)
- 2 cups plant-based milk, such as soy, room temperature, (473ml)
Instructions
- Add the flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together until they're fully combined and free of clumps.
- Gently fold in the coconut oil and plant milk just until you don't see streaks of flour anymore. The batter should be thick and scoopable. It’s okay if there are some lumps in it. Add a little more plant milk if it’s too thick or some flour if it’s too runny.
- Turn the waffle iron on and grease it with cooking spray once heated, unless it's nonstick. Add a few spoonfuls of the batter until it's about 1 centimeter away from the edge. The amount will vary based on the size of your waffle maker.
- Cook each waffle for about 4-6 minutes until they are golden brown. Carefully remove them with a fork or tongs. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all of the batter. Tip! You'll know the waffles are done cooking when you don't see any more steam rising from the waffle iron.

Notes
Measure the dry ingredients by spooning them into the measuring cup and then scraping the top off with a flat edge.
If the plant milk is too cold, it will cause the coconut oil to clump up. Heat it up slightly to prevent this or give it time to come to room temperature.
The absorbability of protein powders can vary. Aim for a thick consistency of batter that doesn't rapidly run off the spoon.
Make them even more delicious with a dash of cinnamon and a little vanilla extract.
If your waffle maker is not nonstick, you may need to spray a little bit of oil on it before each waffle. Be sure to select one that is expeller-pressed so that it's free of chemicals that can harm the surface of the iron.
