Ingredients
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk (any variety)
1 large egg
1 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 tsp sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your waffle iron to your desired setting.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), vanilla extract, and sweetener if using.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. The batter should be thick but pourable.
5. Grease your waffle iron, pour in the batter, and cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Carefully remove and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For dairy-free waffles, use almond or oat milk and plant-based protein powder.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
These freeze well—make a double batch and store for busy mornings.
