The ingredients
- 1 flax egg, 1 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version
- 1 protein powder, scoop; of your choice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- ½ cup unsweetened soy beverage
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp avocado oil
Toppings
- 2 cups frozen berries
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
The method
- In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed and water. Let sit for a few minutes so the mixture thickens.
- In a medium bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients (except the oil and toppings), then mix until you get a slightly thick, even batter.
- Preheat the waffle iron. Using a brush, lightly coat the plates with the oil. Pour about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter into the waffle iron. Close and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown.
- Repeat step 4 with the remaining batter.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the berries and maple syrup. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the chia seeds and mix. Let sit for a few minutes so the mixture thickens slightly.
- Top the waffles with the berry mixture and serve immediately.
