Ingredients

Scale

For the Dry Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup protein powder (32g)
  • ¼ cup flour (35g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

For the Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup egg whites (or additional water for a vegan version)
  • ¼ cup yogurt (or applesauce for a dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • 2 teaspoons oil (optional, for crispier waffles)

Instructions

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the water, egg whites (or additional water), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and oil (if using) to form a smooth batter. Depending on the type of protein powder used, you may need to add more liquid, a tablespoon at a time, to achieve a batter consistency similar to pancake or waffle batter.

  3. Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, grease the iron well to prevent sticking.

  4. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until the waffle is light and crispy. Re-grease the iron between waffles to ensure they don’t stick.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your protein-packed waffles with toppings of your choice—fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of syrup. Enjoy the crispy, protein-filled goodness!

Notes

  • Topping Ideas: Try adding fresh fruit, nut butter, or a dusting of cinnamon to your waffles for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Storage: These waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Reheat in a toaster for the best texture.
  • Consistency Tips: If the batter seems too thick, you can always add a little more water to thin it out until you reach your desired texture.
