Equipment
- Belgian waffle maker You can use another type - you may just need to measure out less batter and adjust cooking time!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 eggs room temperature
- ½ cup avocado oil or coconut oil - this will give them more of a coconutty taste!
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups Gluten Free 1:1 Flour I love King Arthur brand
- 3 tsp baking powder be sure to look for gluten free
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder I like Be Well By Kelly brand
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ⅔ cups almond milk or coconut milk / oat milk!
Instructions
- Mix coconut sugar, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil and vanilla in a bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Combine the two while simultaneously whisking in the milk. Mix until very smooth (this may take some elbow grease!)
- Spray waffle maker with avocado oil and preheat.
- For Belgian (4 triangles/large circle) waffles, use 1 cup measuring cup to scoop out the batter and pour it evenly into the middle of the waffle iron.
- Cook waffles according to waffle maker directions. For my Belgian waffle maker, this took about 4-5 minutes total, flipping the machine halfway through.
- Enjoy topped with berries and maple syrup!
