Make delicious, protein-packed waffles perfect for a post-workout breakfast or a healthy start. This recipe uses simple ingredients to boost your protein intake without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar substitute, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. This batter will be thicker than standard waffle batter.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly spray the plates with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your iron.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite healthy toppings like fresh berries or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

Notes

  • For a **no whey protein waffles** option, substitute the whey with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese blended until smooth with the milk.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a pourable consistency suitable for your iron.
  • To make these **high protein low carb waffles**, substitute half the flour with almond flour and use a zero-carb protein powder.
  • For the best texture, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the flour to hydrate.
