Ingredients

Protein waffle recipe:

1 scoop pea protein powder
½ cup almond flour
½ cup tapioca flour
¼ tsp. baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 whole eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
2-3 tsp. maple syrup or honey optional

Instructions

Protein waffles:

Preheat waffle iron to high heat.
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth. Batter should be thick; if it’s too thin, add 1 teaspoon at a time of almond and tapioca flour.
Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. Add ¼ cup of batter to the waffle iron, close and cook until golden brown on the outside. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all the batter has been used. If serving immediately, let waffle sit for 2-3 minutes before serving for the best texture.

Protein chocolate sauce:

In a medium bowl, combine chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, non dairy milk and maple syrup.
Whisk until a uniform mixture is attained. If chocolate sauce is a bit thin, add coconut oil.
Pour protein chocolate sauce on waffles, top with strawberries, and serve immediately.
