    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! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    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! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • 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 1/2 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.

    Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup coconut flour
    • 3/4 cup tapioca flour
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened protein powder see notes
    • 1/3 cup Swerve granular sweetener
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil melted
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk
    • 4 large eggs at room temperature

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients with a fork or whisk. Set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Combine the rest of the wet ingredients into the same bowl.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir them together well. At this point, your mixture should be pretty thick but pourable.
    • Heat up your waffle iron for a few minutes, then brush / spray on a layer of oil onto both the top and bottom of the griddle.
    • 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!
    • Depending on the size of your waffle iron, this should make about 8 large waffles. Top with your favorite toppings and serve warm.

    Notes

    • I'd recommend using an unsweetened whey protein powder or a subtle-tasting vegan protein will also do. You could also use collagen protein.
