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

  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.
