# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
32g protein powder (1/3 cup)
02 -
35g flour (1/4 cup - spelt, white, or gluten-free)
03 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
1/8 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 -
120ml water (1/2 cup)
06 -
60ml egg whites or additional water (1/4 cup)
07 -
60ml plain yogurt or applesauce (1/4 cup)
08 -
2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (granulated or liquid)
09 -
2 teaspoons oil (optional)
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add water, egg whites (or additional water), yogurt (or applesauce), and sweetener. Stir until smooth. If batter is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until reaching a pourable consistency.
02 -
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Once hot, lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
03 -
Pour batter into the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until golden and crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker. Avoid opening the iron prematurely to prevent sticking.
04 -
Remove waffle carefully, re-grease the iron, and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt, or syrup.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Works well with various protein powders including whey, casein, and plant-based blends, though texture may vary slightly
02 -
Spelt and all-purpose flour produce best results; gluten-free blends work but almond or coconut flour are not recommended
03 -
When using liquid sweeteners like maple syrup or honey, reduce water by approximately two tablespoons
04 -
Oil adds crispiness to edges but can be omitted; ensure waffle iron is well-greased if making oil-free version
05 -
To freeze, cool waffles completely and store in airtight container for up to 2 months; reheat in toaster or oven to restore crispness
