Quick High Protein Waffles (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Waffle Batter
01 -
1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
02 -
1/4 cup flour (35g)
03 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
1/8 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 cup water
06 -
1/4 cup egg whites (or additional water for vegan option)
07 -
1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
08 -
2 tablespoons sweetener of choice
09 -
2 teaspoons oil (optional, but helps make crispier waffles)
# Instructions:
01 -
Gather all your ingredients and have them ready. If using a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or honey, reduce the water by 2 tablespoons to maintain the right batter consistency.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps, especially from the protein powder.
03 -
Pour in the water, egg whites (or extra water if making vegan), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and oil if using. Stir everything together until you get a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to regular waffle batter - if it seems too thick, add more water one tablespoon at a time.
04 -
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Most waffle irons have an indicator light that tells you when it's ready.
05 -
Once hot, spray or brush the waffle iron generously with cooking spray or oil. Pour the batter into the center of the iron, being careful not to overfill (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per waffle, depending on your iron size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden and crispy.
06 -
Remove the waffle carefully using a fork or tongs. Repeat with remaining batter, making sure to re-grease the waffle iron between each waffle to prevent sticking. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
# Notes:
01 -
Works well with spelt flour, white flour, or some brands of all-purpose gluten-free flour.
02 -
The recipe has not been tested with almond flour or coconut flour.
03 -
Different protein powders absorb liquid differently, so you may need to adjust the water content.
04 -
For crispier waffles, don't skip the oil in the batter.
