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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- 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.
- Preheat and Grease Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- 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.

- 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.
