Make these easy, protein-packed waffles for a satisfying breakfast or post-workout fuel. They taste great and support your fitness journey.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar substitute, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the whole egg, egg white, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until combined. This is your wet mix.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes waffles tough.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while the iron finishes heating.
  6. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount specified by your iron size.
  7. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes.
  8. Remove the waffle carefully and serve immediately with your favorite healthy toppings.

Notes

  • For a **no whey protein waffles** option, substitute the powder with 1/4 cup of oat flour and 2 tablespoons of collagen peptides, adjusting liquid slightly if needed.
  • To make these **high protein low carb waffles**, substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with almond flour and use a zero-carb protein powder.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it flows slowly off a spoon.
  • For **breakfast recipes meal prep**, you can freeze cooked waffles and reheat them in a toaster or oven later.
