Protein Waffles Recipe — 41 Grams of Protein Recipe

Introduction

Start your day with these high-protein waffles that pack 41 grams of protein per serving. They’re simple to make, fluffy, and perfect for a nutritious breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

• 39 grams protein powder
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (45g)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Your favorite toppings for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat your waffle iron on medium and spray both plates with cooking spray. A mini dash waffle maker works well as it creates waffles similar to Eggo waffles.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the egg and Greek yogurt until the batter is fully combined.
3. Step 3: Using a ladle or cup, pour the batter onto the center of the bottom waffle plate until about three-quarters of the plate is covered. Closing the top will spread the batter evenly.
4. Step 4: Cook the waffle thoroughly. If it splits when you open the waffle maker, it needs more time. For a crispier texture, cook a little longer than the indicator suggests.
5. Step 5: Serve warm with butter and sugar-free syrup or your preferred toppings.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and extra protein.
• Use a flavored protein powder, like vanilla or chocolate, to add more taste without extra ingredients.
• Top with fresh berries or nuts for added texture and nutrients.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or waffle iron to restore crispiness before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use any type of protein powder?

Yes, you can use whey, plant-based, or any protein powder you prefer. Just note that flavor and texture may vary slightly based on the protein type.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

It’s best to cook the waffles immediately after mixing the batter for the best texture. However, you can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours and give it a good stir before cooking.

Waffle Batter

• 39 grams Protein powder
• 1 large Egg
• 3 Tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream (45g)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Toppings

• Butter (optional)
• Sugar-free syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron on medium heat and spray both plates with cooking spray. A mini Dash waffle maker is recommended for waffles that resemble Eggo waffles.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed.
3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the egg and Greek yogurt or sour cream into the dry mixture until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
4. Cook the waffles: Pour batter onto the center of the bottom plate using a ladle or cup, filling about 3/4 of the plate. Close the waffle iron so the batter spreads evenly under pressure. Cook thoroughly; if the waffle breaks when opening, it needs more time. For a crispier waffle, cook a little beyond the indicator light.
5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the waffle from the iron and serve warm with butter and sugar-free syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

• Protein powder choice greatly affects flavor and texture; vanilla or unflavored protein powders work best.
• Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein, but sour cream is an acceptable alternative.
• Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle maker model.
• For crispier waffles, extend cooking time slightly beyond the waffle maker’s indicator light.
• Use sugar-free syrup or fresh fruit for a healthier topping option.
