Description

These Protein-Packed Waffles are a quick and nutritious breakfast option, combining protein powder with wholesome ingredients to deliver a delicious, high-protein meal perfect for energizing your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
  • 1/4 cup flour (35g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
  • 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • 2 tsp oil (optional for crispy waffles)


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the water, egg whites (or additional water), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and oil if using, until a smooth batter forms. Adjust consistency by adding more liquid if needed.
  3. Preheat and Grease Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Waffles: Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are light, crispy, and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.

Notes

  • Use egg whites for extra protein or water for a vegan option.
  • Swap yogurt with applesauce for a dairy-free variation.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • Let waffles cool on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, nut butter, or syrup of choice.
