Pumpkin Spice Waffle Recipe for Your Next Favorite High Protein Breakfast
Description
The pumpkin spice waffles combine protein powder with almond and tapioca flours, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon to form a thick batter. Cooking on a preheated waffle iron produces crisp-edged waffles with a tender, spiced crumb. The pumpkin and cinnamon provide autumn flavors, and the protein powder boosts nutritional content.
The accompanying protein chocolate sauce, made from chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and optional coconut oil, adds a smooth, rich topping poured warm over the waffles. Optional garnishes like strawberries and hemp hearts provide freshness and texture contrast.
Each waffle contains approximately 12 grams of protein, with the chocolate sauce adding 5 grams per serving. Serving the waffles warm with the sauce creates a satisfying and nutritionally enhanced breakfast option suitable for those seeking a high protein start to the day.

Instructions
Protein waffles:
- Preheat waffle iron to high heat.

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.
