Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour or oat flour
  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder whey or plant-based
  • 1 tbsp Erythritol or Granulated Sugar optional, adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large Egg
  • 3/4 cup Milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract if using unflavored protein powder

Equipment

  • Waffle Iron
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the cooking plates if your waffle iron is not non-stick.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, erythritol (or sugar if using), baking powder, and salt until well combined and there are no lumps.
Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the large egg, milk, melted coconut oil (or avocado oil), and vanilla extract (if using) until thoroughly combined.
Mix Batter
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine and help keep the waffles tender.
Cook Waffles
  1. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (adjust the amount based on your waffle iron's size). Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, and your waffle iron indicates they are done.
  2. Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron. Repeat with the remaining batter to make the second waffle.
Serve
  1. Serve your Easy High Protein Waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced banana, sugar-free syrup, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts.

Notes

For an even greater protein boost, consider adding 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients, slightly reducing the milk by 1-2 tablespoons. Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are excellent when reheated in a toaster or toaster oven for restored crispiness.
