Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
