Protein pancake & waffle breakfast board (grain & dairy free)
Elevate Your Morning with a Protein-Packed Waffle & Pancake Breakfast Board ! Welcome to the ultimate breakfast experience that promises to elevate your morning routine into a nutritious and absolutely delicious start to your day.
The Power of Protein
One of the cornerstones of this breakfast board is its focus on protein. By incorporating almond flour, tapioca starch, and vegan protein powder into the waffle and pancake mix, (you can also use a protein milk like flax or soy) it not only creates the perfect texture but also ensure that every bite contributes to your energy levels. Protein is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you satiated throughout the morning, making this breakfast board not only delicious but also incredibly nourishing.
Building the Board:
The beauty of the breakfast board lies in its flexibility and the invitation to creativity it extends to everyone at the table. It’s a perfect way to involve kids in the kitchen, allowing them to mix, match, and create their plates with their favorite toppings and syrups. Perfect for a lazy Sunday— this breakfast board brings everyone together.
Making Mornings Manageable
Both the protein pancakes and waffles are fantastic make-ahead options that you can enjoy even during busy weekdays. Simply prepare a batch during your weekend meal prep, and freeze them individually. Then, you can quickly reheat a pancake or waffle in the toaster or microwave for a fast, fulfilling, and nutritious breakfast. Pair it with a piece of fruit or a quick dollop of yogurt or PB, and you’ve got a powerhouse breakfast that will fuel you through your morning.

Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 Tapioca Starch
- 1/4 cup Vegan Protein Powder, vanilla or unflavored works best

Instructions
- Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, vegan protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the melted coconut oil and dairy-free milk. Whisk together until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- Preheat Your Iron and Pan: Heat your waffle iron and a non-stick pan over medium heat. If you’re making both waffles and pancakes simultaneously, it’s best to start with the waffles as they tend to keep their heat longer.
- Cook Waffles: Pour enough batter into the mini waffle iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Cook Pancakes: Lightly grease the pan with a bit of coconut oil. Pour scoops of batter onto the pan, forming 3 inch pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Prepare the Board: While the waffles and pancakes are cooking, start assembling your board. Lay out fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and a bowl of dairy-free yogurt. Include small containers of maple syrup, honey, and nut butter for drizzling.
- Serve Warm: Once all the waffles and pancakes are cooked, arrange them attractively on the board. Encourage your guests to build their dream breakfast plate, combining the warm, protein-packed waffles and pancakes with the array of toppings on offer.
