I am thankful to Naked Nutrition for sending this amazing plant-based protein powder my way. I am absolutely in love with it and regularly consume it in my smoothies as my post workout recovery beverage.

However, I wanted to add more protein into my family’s diet. At the same time, I also wanted to make sure that their morning meal is tasty and healthy. So, I came up with these vegan protein waffles.

My family immediately loved this recipe and since then I have been making these waffles on repeat.

About the protein powder

This protein powder (Naked Pea) from Naked Nutrition is a pea protein. It is extracted from split yellow peas grown in the USA. It is unflavored and yet has a nice taste to it without leaving any after taste which is a winner. With being low in carbohydrates it has only 120 calories and 27 grams of protein per servings.

Its also free of additives and artificial sweeteners. This pea protein powder is so versatile that it can be used in your favorite beverages or in baking as well.

If you are on a weight loss journey then Naked Pea is your best friend. It will help you boost your protein intake and help in muscles gain too. It is gluten free, vegan and soy free.

I highly recommend you all to try Pea Protein Powder (Naked Pea) from Naked Nutrition.

Ingredients notes

Whole wheat flour – this has more fiber that regular flour and is a healthier option. It helps in binding these waffles beautifully making them easy to fluff.

Oats – its my favorite and I often use oats in my recipes. It a low GI ingredient with being high in fiber and nutrition.

Vegan protein powder – make sure to use unflavored protein powder of your choice. However, the best option would be unflavored pea protein powder for this waffle recipe.

Maple syrup – I added a little bit of it to balance out the overall taste.

Almond milk – any dairy free milk works here.

How to make

Firstly, in a mixing bowl, I combined flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Then, I mixed it well.

Secondly, I folded in the protein powder and whisked it well. I made sure that there were no lumps.

Thereafter, I stirred in plant milk, syrup, and vanilla.

Afterwards, I whipped it into a batter and kept is aside.

In the meanwhile, I preheated my waffle maker/waffle iron and greased it slightly. Then, I poured about ¼ cup of the batter at its center.

Next, I closed its lid and let it cook until the waffle was golden and fluffy. My waffles maker has the light indicator so as soon as it turned to green light, I opened its lid.

Then I released the baked waffle gently with a flat spatula from the waffle maker.

Lastly, I scooped it out with a flat spatula and placed it on the serving plate.

I repeated the above steps for the rest of the batter.

Then, I garnished them. These were the best homemade waffles ever and yet healthy with being high in protein.

Serving tips

You may drizzle maple syrup over these protein waffles or simply top them with vegan whipped cream. I love to add berries and nuts too and some pumpkin seeds for extra nutrition. For a whole some spread you may serve my green smoothie. I love to compliment them with my chai smoothie for a caffeine boost. My family also likes air fryer tempeh as a side for thein morning meal, especially if it is a weekend.

Storing tips

Refrigerator – once they completely cool down at room temperature, place them in a container with a lid and refrigerate for about 3-4 days. Oven toast them for 3-4 minutes before serving.

Freezer – once these waffles completely cool down at room temperature, place them in a Ziploc bag and seal it. Then freeze them for about 3 months. Oven toast them for about 5-6 minutes before serving.

Expert tips

  • You may get the urge to simply combine all the ingredients and whip it into a batter. But in this process, you may find lumps which may not let these waffles fluff as expected. Hence, it is important to mix the ingredients step wise as explained in this recipe in order to achieve the fluffiest and tastiest waffles.
  • Most importantly, do not pour too much batter in your waffle maker/waffle iron. There should be enough space for the batter to rise and spread while they cook.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I get crispy waffles?

Set the temperature of your waffle maker/waffle iron a bit above medium and then cook the batter. This helps in crispier waffles.

Are they healthy and low in carbohydrates?

These are healthy waffles with being low in calories and low in carbohydrates. However, make sure to focus on portion control to stay within the nutritional goal limit.
