These dairy free protein waffles are going to be your new go-to breakfast favorite. They are made from a combination of coconut flour, tapioca flour, and protein powder, leaving them fluffy but firm and absolutely perfect for your favorite toppings!

Hot tip: Try them with my healthy homemade Nutella on top! 😉

What makes these protein waffles so great?

I love having options for breakfast that aren't completely egg-forward.

These protein waffles are loaded with high quality protein and will actually leave you feeling satisfied! 🙂

  • The high protein content is awesome. I'm not normally one to feel satiated after waffles, but these are so well balanced!
  • You can substitute the Swerve granular sweetener for coconut sugar if you'd like. Be sure to use ½ cup if so.
  • They keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • They are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and paleo too.

Protein Waffles Ingredients

Dry Ingredients: coconut flour, tapioca flour unsweetened protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and Swerve granular sweetener.

Wet Ingredients: ghee or coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, canned coconut milk, and eggs.

I knew once I had mastered my favorite paleo waffles, I needed to kick things up a notch and turn them into a keto recipe with more protein.

One serving of these waffles (approximately 2) has 14 grams of protein.

Toppings and Serving/Storing Suggestions

You can serve these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I'd recommend serving them warm if possible and topping them off with a nice slab of butter.

You can turn these waffles into a savory direction, and they absolutely do not need to be sweetened up with anything. However, if you are feeling fancy and like you want accompaniments, here is what I recommend for toppings:

  • Grass-fed butter
  • Pure maple syrup or honey
  • Fresh fruit, i.e. berries, sliced bananas, etc.
  • Cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips
  • Flax seeds, chia seeds or hemp seeds
  • Powdered sugar

How to make dairy free protein waffles

Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients with a fork or whisk. Set aside.

Wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Combine the rest of the wet ingredients into the same bowl.

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir them together well. At this point, your mixture should be pretty thick but pourable.

Heat waffle iron: Heat up the waffle iron for a few minutes, then brush / spray on a layer of oil onto both the top and bottom of the griddle.

Pour batter: Pour enough of the mixture into the iron to barely cover the bottom. You do not want to add too much because your iron will begin to overflow!

Servings: Depending on the size of your waffle iron, this should make about 8 large waffles. Top with your favorite toppings and serve warm.

Notes
