Unique vegan savory breakfast combination with an easy chickpea scramble on top of your favorite waffles. Perfect for a protein-packed savory breakfast option.
It’s hard to beat a big savory breakfast.
We made it through the first week in January, and in the morning, I’m making WAFFLES to celebrate.
I bet you’ve never seen a savory Saturday quite like this– a hot mess of scrambled chickpeas and veg sitting pretty on your favorite toasted waffles.
Savory waffles with packed with protein, veggies, and healthy fats!
I’ve never had chicken & waffles, but I feel like this Chickpea Scramble Waffle Stackers gives the southern classic some serious FOMO.
Grab your favorite homemade or frozen waffles and let’s stack them high with an easy chickpea scramble and drool worthy condiments.
To be honest I’m not much of a waffle person.
They taste great but then an hour later my stomach is grumbling for more food, please.
That was before I topped these hearty waffles with my favorite protein and fiber rich chickpea scramble.
You’ll love this recipe option if you’re tired of tofu or avoiding soy for whatever reason.
They key to this chickpea scramble is lightly smashing the chickpeas before adding to the skillet.
This gives the garbanzo beans more of a “scramble” feel and helps them brown with a slightly crispy texture.
I used diced carrots and onions in my skillet, but you could also use chopped broccoli, asparagus, mushroom, or bell pepper, to name a few alternative veggies.
After scramblin’, grab a waffle or too and load them up with warm scramble and your favorite condiments.
If you make these Chickpea Scramble Waffle Stackers, let me know!
I love mine topped with lots of fresh dill and green onion.

Toying with making the switch to vegan and these look AMAZING! Love chickpeas — so versatile. Would probably drizzle some canned coconut cream/milk or a lime-veganaise combo on top as a syrup. Can’t wait to try these out this weekend!

This recipe fed 3 people. Also, I don’t recommend lightly mashing the chickpeas as this caused the skins to come off. I then had to remove as many as I could. It doesn’t look in the picture like they were smashed either.

Hi Stella! Thanks so much for the feedback. Sorry about the chickpea skins! I usually eat them like that anyway.
