Ingredients
1/3 cup protein powder
1/4 cup flour (spelt, white, or gluten-free)
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
2 tbsp sweetener of choice (maple syrup, sugar, or erythritol)
2 tsp oil (optional, for crispiness)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the wet ingredients: water, egg whites or more water, yogurt or applesauce, and sweetener.
- If the batter is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches waffle batter consistency.
- Preheat the waffle iron and spray it well with nonstick spray.
- Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron and close it.
- Cook according to your iron’s instructions until the waffle is light and crispy.
- Re-grease the waffle iron between batches to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Make it vegan by using dairy-free yogurt and replacing egg whites with water.
- For peanut butter flavor, replace half the yogurt with peanut butter.
- Use flavored protein powders to vary the taste.
- Add mashed banana or berries for fruit-infused waffles.
- Omit sweetener and protein powder for a savory version by increasing the flour.
