These waffles are super easy to make and made with grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free ingredients! I also sneak in some collagen protein to add extra protein to the waffles plus it adds additional vanilla flavor! Overall, these waffles are a great option for the morning, especially with picky kiddos who struggle to get morning protein!

Meanwhile, In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and stir until well combine, breaking up any clumps.

Step Three: Combine the wet and dry ingredients

    Wow! These are absolutely delicious! Better than any gluten free mix I’ve tried. The cinnamon is the perfect amount to give them really great flavor.
