Dry Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup protein powder (32g)
- ¼ cup flour (35g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup egg whites or additional water
- ¼ cup yogurt or applesauce
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice
- 2 teaspoons oil (optional, for crispy waffles)
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Stir in the wet ingredients to form a batter. Depending on your protein powder type, you may need to add more liquid, a tablespoon at a time, to achieve the right pancake or waffle batter texture.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease it well before use.
- Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until the waffle is light and crispy.
- Re-grease the iron between waffles to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the sweetener with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute of your choice.
- Add cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.
- If you’re using a waffle maker that has non-stick coating, you can skip the oil for a lower-fat option.
- These waffles are great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge or freezer. Just reheat and enjoy when you’re ready!
