Description
Light, crispy, and packed with over 45g of protein, these quick Protein Waffles are perfect for busy mornings or post-workout fuel. They’re simple, golden, and ready in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
1/4 cup flour (35g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup egg whites or more water
1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
2 tbsp sweetener of choice
2 tsp oil (optional for crispiness)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
2. Add in the wet ingredients and mix to form a batter.
3. Adjust consistency with more liquid if needed; aim for typical waffle batter texture.
4. Preheat your waffle iron and grease it well.
5. Pour batter into the center, close the lid, and cook until golden and crisp.
6. Re-grease the iron before each new batch to prevent sticking.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Substitute half the yogurt with peanut butter or Greek yogurt for more protein.
Applesauce or mashed banana can replace yogurt.
If using liquid sweeteners like honey or syrup, reduce added water slightly.
Use any protein powder—plant-based or whey.
For savory waffles, reduce sweetener.
If skipping protein powder, increase flour to 1/2 cup.
Cool completely, store with parchment between layers, and freeze up to 3 months.
Reheat in toaster oven for crisp texture.
