Vanilla Protein Vegan Waffles
Waffles are a breakfast classic that is crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, and served with delicious sides like homefries, fresh fruit, or a hefty serving of vegan butter. Waffles are a sweet memory, pun intended, and they can make your morning a little bit more joyful. Add your favorite toppings like vegan cool-whip, fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips, maple syrup is a must.
