Kellogg’s is teaming up with MorningStar Farms to create plant-based chicken and waffles! The Belgian Liège-style waffle sandwich stuffed with vegan chicken will be released at select retailers sometime this year. Since this year has only a few months left, that’s not too long to wait!

To create its first plant-based waffle, Eggo swapped chicken eggs for soy flour and wheat gluten. It also chose to go with Liège-style waffles, described as “a bit thicker and sturdier, making them a perfect bun for this new vegan Chik’n & Waffle sandwich.” Customers can expect each box they purchase to contain two Eggo Liège-style waffle sandwiches with MorningStar Farms Incogmeato plant-based chik’n. Joe Beauprez, marketing director for Eggo, stated:

With chicken and waffles already known and loved by waffle fans, we came together with MorningStar Farms to bring a plant-based twist on this classic dish to tables this year.

Last year, Eggo released a vegetarian version of a chicken and waffle sandwich using a non-vegan buttermilk waffle. Despite being released only through a one-day giveaway on National Waffle Day, it captured a lot of attention and drew disappointed responses from customers hoping for a vegan-friendly version. Beauprez said:

Waffle lovers went wild for our Eggo x MorningStar Farms Incogmeato collaboration last year, so we knew we wanted to be able to bring the perfect pairing to even more people this year. That meant creating our first-ever vegan waffle, to give any waffle lover the opportunity to enjoy our new sandwich.
