Gluten Free Protein Waffles
Fluffy, protein-packed gluten free waffles that are easy to make, freezer-friendly, and customizable.
These protein-packed waffles are easy, quick to make, and perfect for those mornings when you want something filling.
If you’re tired of the same old breakfast routine—omelets, protein shakes, or plain toast—it’s time to shake things up.
Unlike store-bought waffles, which can be loaded with sugar and preservatives, these are made with simple, wholesome ingredients you can feel good about.
They’re also a lifesaver for meal prep. Make a batch ahead of time, freeze them, and you’ve got ready-to-go breakfasts all week long.
Whether you like them plain or want to toss in some chocolate chips or fresh blueberries, these waffles stay light, fluffy, and perfectly tender, thanks to a little psyllium magic and a touch of extra egg white.
This recipe hits the sweet spot between convenience and nutrition. Each waffle is high in protein, has fiber to keep you full, and is made with wholesome flours and oats, making it much healthier than anything from the freezer aisle.
It’s ideal for anyone looking for a quick breakfast that’s more than just fuel—it’s a treat you can feel good about, especially when you’re ready to take a break from the same old omelets and shakes.

Gluten Free Protein Waffles
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free
- ½ cup gluten-free AP flour
- 1 scoop protein powder, unflavored
- 1 tsp psyllium husk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup milk, dairy or non dairy
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, or melted butter (plus extra for greasing waffle maker)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup mix-ins like chocolate chips and blueberries, optional
- maple syrup, whipped cream, fruit etc., for serving
Instructions
- Using a blender or food processor, blend rolled oats into flour. Mix with gluten-free flour, protein powder, psyllium, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the coconut oil, milk, eggs, egg white, maple syrup, and vanilla. The coconut oil may clump a bit here but it will smooth out in the cooked waffle.
- Stir wet into dry until just combined. Don’t overmix. Add in any mix-ins, if desired and gently stir.
- Let the batter sit 5 minutes so psyllium and oats can puff.
- Spoon batter into waffle maker. Do not overfill or it will spill out the sides. Cook until golden and serve with additional toppings, if desired.
