Delicious savory waffles high in plant-based protein with soaked mung beans as the main ingredient
Where do you get your protein from?
These savory mungbean waffles are my straightforward answer to people asking „Where do you get your protein from?“
It is a question that never seems to disappear. The fear of people who decide to avoid meat, of having not enough protein. Savory waffles which are almost entirely made of protein rich ingredients seemed to be a yummi, legit way to get in that protein.
The main ingredient for these waffles are soaked mung bean. I saw a non-vegan recipe on Pinterest and thought that I’ll give it a try (plant-based) with mung beans as the main actor and just 5 more other ingredients:
CHICKPEA FLOUR
RICE MILK
COCONUT OIL
NUTRITIONAL YEAST
BAKING POWDER
(WATER)
Mung beans and Chickpea flour are an excellent source of protein, fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Further, they are rich in Iron, which carries oxygen in blood and ultimately helps you to be more focused. Another interesting fact I found was that if you soak them and eat them (raw – not cooking them) they have a lower amount of calories while keeping all the vitamins and fiber.

Thank you for your sharing, I children like to eat waffles, but I do bad every time the next time I must be in accordance with your method to do, if successful, believe my children will like it very much.
Let me know if they like it! When your kids love stars you can cut out little cucumber stars that is what I did 😀
This waffle looks to die for! Who says vegans are protein-deficient?! It’s such a contrived myth that I’m still dumbfounded people believe. Seriously, I can eat more protein than many non-vegans too!
What sauce did you make to eat with this?
YUMMY!!!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! I’ve heard about your blog a couple of times and will now spend my afternoon reading 🙂
These are great! I subbed unsweetened applesauce for the coconut oil, and it was still perfect. Was a bit worried smelling the mix before cooking, but the finished product was just slightly sweet, nutty and delicious. My kids destroyed them with a bit of maple syrup.
