This waffle recipe has 22 grams of protein per serving, is 5 ingredients and comes together in 10 minutes, if you have a waffle iron. I usually eat this plain with no toppings, but top with whatever you prefer! A nut butter and sliced banana are my go-to toppings. This is a regular weekday and weekend breakfast at our house to fuel us for our workouts and the rest of the day.

Ingredients

²/³

cup

all purpose flour

Or whole wheat for a little more protein

²/³

cup

peanut butter

Powdered. You can find this in most grocery stores with the protein powders, or on Amazon

¹/²

teaspoon

baking powder

tablespoons

dark chocolate chips

cup

oat milk

Use soy milk or pea milk for more protein and a sweetened milk for a sweeter waffle. I use unsweetened, but I prefer the waffle not sweet.

Directions

For Waffles

Step 1

Turn on your waffle iron to start heating. While it is heating add all the dry ingredients to a bowl, including chocolate chips, and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Add the plant milk to the dry ingredients and mix until there are no clumps. You want the batter to be thick, but still pourable (see the video below for consistency if you are not sure).

Step 3

Spray your waffle iron lightly with oil, add your batter to the iron and cook according to your preferred waffle iron settings. Enjoy! You can also cook these a little less long, and then freeze them and defrost them in the toaster or toaster oven throughout the week!

For Pancakes

Step 1

For pancakes, make the batter using the instructions above, but add 2 more Tbs of plant milk to make a slightly thinner batter. Preheat a non-stick skillet on low/medium heat, and then cook your pancakes a few minutes on each side until golden and done in the center.
