These tofu waffles are the perfect high-protein breakfast recipe for anyone who doesn't want to mess around with making waffle batter! Just cut the tofu, optionally stuff it with chocolate, and waffle-fy! You can load them up with sweet or savory toppings for a unique and easy breakfast.

Ingredients
- 1 14-oz block firm tofu 400 g
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- sprayable oil
Instructions
- Prep: Drain tofu and pat dry, then cut it into 4 or 8 thin slabs (4 for plain waffles, 8 for stuffed waffles).
- Optional - Stuffed Waffles: For a fun twist, cut the slabs extra thin then sandwich dark chocolate chunks or chips in between them!
- Cornstarch: Sprinkle cornstarch into a wide bowl or plate. Dip each side of the tofu slabs into the cornstarch to evenly coat, tapping off the excess.If making stuffed tofu waffles, only coat the outsides with cornstarch.
- Waffle: Heat waffle iron to medium heat. Spray iron well with oil, then add tofu and firmly close as much as possible. Let tofu cook until brown and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve: Tofu is pretty flavorless on its own, so go wild with the waffle toppings! We love these with syrup, nut butter, whipped cream, and lots of fresh fruit!

Notes
- Other stuffing ideas: Things like jam or nut butter do not work well for stuffing because they get squeezed out when you close the waffle iron, but fresh fruit and chocolate work great!
- Storage: Tofu waffles will last for about 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. I recommend reheating them in a toaster oven or air fryer to get them crispy again after being in the fridge.
