These protein waffles are light, crispy, and offer a healthy alternative to traditional waffles. With ingredients like protein powder, yogurt, and sweeteners of your choice, these waffles are great for those who need a high-protein breakfast. They're quick to make and can be customized based on your dietary preferences, whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just looking for a tasty way to get in more protein.

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 additional water)

1/4 cup yogurt (or applesauce)

2 tbsp sweetener of choice

2 tsp oil (optional for crispy waffles)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients (protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt) in a bowl.

  2. Stir in the wet ingredients (water, egg whites or extra water, yogurt or applesauce, and sweetener) to form a batter.

  3. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water to achieve a pancake or waffle-like consistency.

  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Grease it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

  5. Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron, ensuring an even layer.

  6. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the instructions until the waffles are light and crispy.

  7. For extra crispiness, add a bit of oil to the batter and grease the waffle iron between batches.

  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, berries, or peanut butter.

Notes

  • Vegan Option: Use non-dairy yogurt and plant-based protein powder.

  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free flour like Bob’s Red Mill.

  • Peanut Butter Protein Waffles: Replace part of the yogurt with peanut butter for added flavor and protein.

  • Flavor Variations: Experiment with different protein powders such as vanilla, chocolate, or even birthday cake flavor.
