Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (32 grams) protein powder
- 1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
- 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (35 grams) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice
Liquid and Optional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons oil (optional for crispy waffles)
Instructions
- Thoroughly blend protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry components.
- Introduce water, egg whites, yogurt, and sweetener to the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Adjust consistency by adding liquid incrementally to achieve ideal waffle texture.
- Heat waffle iron to recommended temperature, typically around 375°F. Generously coat cooking surfaces with non-stick spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Gently pour batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, filling approximately two-thirds of the surface area. Close lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove waffle using a heat-resistant spatula, ensuring it releases cleanly from the iron. Repeat greasing and cooking process for subsequent waffles, maintaining consistent temperature and cooking time.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness, optionally topping with fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup for added flavor and nutrition.
Notes
- Boost protein content by experimenting with different protein powder flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored for versatile taste profiles.
- Substitute dairy-free alternatives like almond milk or coconut yogurt to make the recipe vegan and allergy-friendly.
- Use a silicone brush to evenly distribute oil or cooking spray on the waffle iron, ensuring perfect golden-brown crispiness without excess grease.
- Prevent soggy waffles by letting them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes, which helps maintain their crispy texture and prevents steam buildup.
