Description
Protein Waffles are a quick, healthy, and satisfying breakfast made with simple ingredients. Packed with protein, these waffles are the perfect way to start your day. Fluffy and crispy, they’re customizable and great for meal prep.
Ingredients
1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
1/4 cup flour (35g) (spelt, white, or gluten-free all-purpose)
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
2 tbsp sweetener of choice (liquid or granular)
2 tsp oil (optional, for crispier waffles)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until everything is well combined with no lumps remaining.
- Stir in the water, egg whites (or additional water), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and oil (if using). Mix until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add extra water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired batter consistency.
- Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease it with non-stick spray or a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions, usually 2–4 minutes, until the waffles are golden and crispy.
- After each waffle, re-grease the waffle iron before adding the next batch. Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings like fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, swap the yogurt for a non-dairy alternative and use more water instead of egg whites.
- For a thicker waffle, add more ice cream or use frozen pineapple chunks instead of fresh.
- To make the waffles crispy, add a teaspoon of oil to the batter and grease the waffle iron well.
