Delicious and protein-packed waffles that are perfect for a nutritious breakfast or brunch. These waffles are light, crispy, and customizable with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
  • 1/4 cup flour (35g) (spelt, white, or gluten-free all-purpose)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
  • 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice (liquid or granular)
  • 2 tsp oil (optional, for crispier waffles)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients – In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients – Stir in the water, egg whites (or more water), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and oil (if using). Mix to form a smooth batter. If the mixture is too thick, add extra water one tablespoon at a time to reach a classic waffle batter consistency.
  3. Preheat the Waffle Iron – Set your waffle maker to preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, grease it very well with nonstick spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Waffles – Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s directions until the waffle is light and crispy. This usually takes 2-4 minutes depending on your machine.
  5. Repeat and Serve – Re-grease the waffle iron between batches. Continue cooking until all batter is used, then serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • You can customize these waffles by adding toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Make sure to grease the waffle iron well to prevent sticking and achieve crispy waffles.
