Crispy High Protein Waffles (Print-Friendly Version)
Golden-crisp waffles with extra protein that are fluffy inside, customizable, and perfect for post-workout or meal-prepped breakfasts.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
1/3 cup (32g) protein powder
02 -
1/4 cup (35g) spelt, white, or gluten-free flour
03 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
1/8 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 cup water
06 -
1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
07 -
1/4 cup plain yogurt or applesauce
08 -
2 tablespoons granulated or liquid sweetener of choice
09 -
2 teaspoons oil (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
02 -
Add water, egg whites (or additional water if egg-free), yogurt or applesauce, and sweetener of choice to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until pourable.
03 -
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray once hot.
04 -
Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Avoid opening the iron too early to prevent sticking or splitting.
05 -
Remove the waffle carefully, re-grease the iron, and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt, or syrup.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
These waffles freeze well; let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for crispness.
02 -
Spelt and all-purpose flour yield the best results, while almond or coconut flour are not recommended.
03 -
Using liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup requires reducing water in the batter by two tablespoons to maintain the right texture.
