Make satisfying, fluffy waffles packed with protein using simple ingredients. This recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar substitute, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk them together well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted coconut oil or butter.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary.
  6. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Use the amount recommended for your specific iron to prevent overflow.
  7. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your iron.
  8. Remove the waffle carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, like fresh berries or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

Notes

  • For gluten free protein waffles, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • If you want to make low carb high protein waffles, replace half the flour with almond flour and use a zero-calorie sweetener.
  • To achieve fluffy protein waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • This recipe works well for making waffles with whey protein or casein protein powder.
