Banana Protein Waffles

These gluten-free banana protein waffles are flavour-filled, naturally sweetened, and contain 8 grams of protein for just one small waffle.

Make these banana protein waffles in advance to have high-protein vegan snacks readily available.

Like my protein cookies, these waffles use peanut butter powder instead of protein powder, they’re simple to make and freezer-friendly too.

Ingredients + Substitutions

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these delicious banana protein waffles.

• Almond flour: Use BLANCHED almond flour for best results and texture. Do not use unblanched or almond meal. Blanched almonds have had their skins removed before grinding into flour.
• Peanut butter powder: I'm using no salt and no sugar added pb2 powder. It's high in protein and low in fat but still has all that delicious peanut butter flavor.
• Bananas: Use overripe bananas for sweetness since there’s no sugar added to these vegan protein waffles.
• Milk: I’m using soy milk, but other plant-based milk such as almond milk also works well.
• Baking powder: Use active baking powder. Open bottles of baking powder sitting in the pantry for 6+ months may lose effectiveness.
• Cinnamon: For flavour, you may omit, or use another spice in its place.

Instructions

(This is a summary with step by step photos, full recipe measurements and instructions are in the recipe card below.)

Pour or scoop the mixture onto your preheated waffle maker using medium heat and cook them according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Then serve your vegan protein waffles with all of your favourite toppings.

Equipment

I use this Cusinart Griddler with these waffle plates. (affiliate link)

I like this particular Griddler because it's one appliance I can use to make pancakes, grilled veggies, AND waffles.

Storage

Keep leftovers refrigerated for 3-4 days in a sealed container.

To freeze, wait until the waffles are completely cooled to room temperature, and then store them in an airtight container or ziptop bags for up to 3 months in your freezer.

You may reheat the waffles in your toaster from frozen.
