I've been experimenting with different variations for protein waffles and these apple cinnamon waffles have to be one of my favourite comforting flavours. Here is my recipe for delicious apple cinnamon vegan protein waffles, topped with cinnamon syrup and cooked apple slices.
I like to keep my protein intake fairly high to help with muscle gain and repair and have luckily not found hitting my protein targets much of a struggle since going vegan. These waffles are made using apple cinnamon flavoured protein powder from The Protein Works and for a stack of these waffles you have more than 30g of complete plant-based protein to help fuel your body for whatever the day brings your way.
To top these waffles I like to use a cinnamon syrup from Sweet Freedom to add a little extra sweetness. I also love to make soft cinnamon apple slices which pair perfectly with the waffle flavour. They are so simple to make and can be made whilst the waffles are cooking in the waffle maker - They are made by coating the slices in sugar and cinnamon and gently pan frying until soft, so easy!
