  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • 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
  • 12 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

  1. Step 1: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or a brush of oil.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sweetener (if using) until well combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted butter or oil, and alcohol-free vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
