Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey protein powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or 1/4 cup egg whites
Optional add-ins: 1/4 cup berries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, whey protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. If using Greek yogurt or egg whites, whisk them in here.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in any optional add-ins.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately or let cool completely before freezing for meal prep.
Notes
For freezer storage, place cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer to a freezer bag or container. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
Add a touch of cinnamon or a few berries to the batter for extra flavor.
These waffles are great with your favorite syrup, fruit, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
For a lower-carb option, consider using almond flour and a sugar substitute.
