The waffles are just as easy to make, and require a few ingredients. You can use chocolate protein powder, or sub with cacao powder if you’d like. The result is a chocolate-y, crispy waffle that you are going to love!

I used chickpea flour to add more protein to the waffles, but you could use regular flour if you prefer.

Once your waffles are ready, just make some sandwiches with the nice cream and get ready for an amazing breakfast or snack!

Let’s get started!
