Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
- 1/4 cup flour (35g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
- 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
- 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 2 tsp oil (optional for crispy waffles)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Whisk the dry ingredients — protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt — together in a bowl. Slowly stir in the wet ingredients — water, egg whites (or extra water), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and oil if using — until a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding a little more liquid until pourable but not runny.
- Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and grease it well with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the iron to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is light golden and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes depending on your appliance. Remove the waffle carefully and repeat the process for the remaining batter, re-greasing the wafer iron as needed.
Notes
- You can substitute yogurt with applesauce for a dairy-free option.
- Using oil in the batter helps achieve a crispier texture but can be omitted for lower fat content.
- Adjust sweetness according to your preference or dietary needs.
- For fluffier waffles, do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay.
- Serve waffles immediately for best texture or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
