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 unsweetened almond)
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar substitute, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted coconut oil, 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 for fluffy protein waffles.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions and lightly grease it if necessary.
  5. Pour the batter onto the hot iron, using the amount specified by your waffle maker for a single serving.
  6. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron.
  7. Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, like Greek yogurt or berries.

Notes

  • For low carb high protein waffles, substitute half the flour with almond flour and use a zero-calorie sweetener.
  • If you prefer waffles without protein powder, replace the powder with an extra 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for a similar protein boost.
  • To make these gluten free protein waffles, swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • This recipe makes excellent meal prep high protein breakfast portions; cool completely before freezing.
