Method:Stovetop
Cuisine:American
Ingredients
Scale
2 scoops (approx. 60g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1–2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or sugar (optional)
3/4 cup milk (any kind)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or a brush of oil.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sweetener (if using) until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted butter or oil, and alcohol-free vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Step 5: Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, or enough to cover the plates without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
Store any leftover cooled waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them layered with parchment paper for longer to enjoy later.
To bring back that crispy exterior, simply pop your chilled or frozen waffles into a toaster, air fryer, or a preheated oven until they're warm through and golden again.
Amp up your protein intake even further by topping these delicious waffles with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
Resist the urge to overmix the batter; a few small lumps are perfectly normal and will lead to a more tender, fluffy waffle, as overmixing protein powder can sometimes result in a tougher texture.
