Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop (about 30 grams) of your preferred flavor protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Whisk them together until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the grid but not overflow. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly if needed.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the protein waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nuts, maple syrup, or a drizzle of nut butter.
Enjoy your protein-packed waffles as a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack! Adjust the sweetness and flavorings to suit your preferences.
