Ingredients

1/3 cup protein powder (32g)

1/4 cup flour (35g)

1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Whisk together the dry ingredients (protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt) in a bowl.
Stir in the wet ingredients (water, egg whites or additional water, yogurt or applesauce, and sweetener) to form a smooth batter. Add more liquid as needed to reach desired consistency.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and grease it well to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron, adjusting based on the size of your iron and thickness of the batter.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is light and crispy (follow manufacturer’s directions).
Re-grease the iron between waffles to ensure they don’t stick.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
For extra flavor, add vanilla or almond extract to the batter.
To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based protein powder, replace egg whites with additional water, and use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 1 month.
Reheat waffles in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a crispy texture.
Feel free to fold in fresh or frozen berries, banana slices, or chocolate chips to customize your waffles.
