Gluten Free Protein Waffles
Fluffy, protein-packed gluten-free waffles that are easy to make, freezer-friendly, and customizable with chocolate chips or fruit—perfect for a healthy, filling breakfast.
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
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, or melted butter (plus extra for greasing waffle maker)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼-½ 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.
Notes
Waffles freeze well! Allow them to cool completely, then line them up on a baking sheet and freeze for an hour (this helps them avoid sticking together). Once frozen, you can put them all in a freezer safe bag together. To reheat, pop a few in the toaster (best method) or microwave.
Nutrition Information: My waffle maker makes a circle of 4 waffles. The nutrition information is for 1 of these 4 waffles. This recipe makes a total of 20 waffles. (So 5 waffles circles with 4 waffles each - if that makes sense!)
