Description
These Protein Waffles are a perfect high-protein breakfast, especially if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to boost your protein intake. The recipe uses just 4 simple ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes. Here’s the formatted version of your recipe:
Ingredients
39 grams Protein powder (about ½ cup, see note)
1 large Egg
3 tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream (45g) (see note)
1 teaspoon Baking powder
Pinch of salt
Your favorite toppings for serving (e.g., butter, sugar-free syrup)
Instructions
Preheat the waffle maker: Heat your waffle iron on medium and spray both plates with cooking spray. A mini waffle maker, like the Dash Mini Waffle Maker, works great here for small, crispy waffles.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add wet ingredients: Stir in the egg and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until everything is fully combined.
Cook the waffles: Using a ladle or cup, pour batter into the middle of the bottom plate, about ¾ full. When you close the waffle maker, the pressure will spread the batter evenly.
Check for doneness: Make sure the waffle is fully cooked. If it splits in half when you open the waffle maker, it needs more time. For extra crispiness, cook a little past the indicator light.
Serve: Enjoy your protein waffle with your favorite toppings like butter and sugar-free syrup.
Notes
Protein powder: The recipe uses Premiere Protein Powder, but feel free to experiment with other brands. Weighing the protein powder with a kitchen scale is recommended for accuracy.
Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream: Full-fat Greek yogurt (4%) or light sour cream (10.5%) are ideal to prevent the waffles from being too dry. You could also use blended cottage cheese.
