Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla, can be omitted if using vanilla protein
Instructions
Make the batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Make a well in the middle and pour the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla (if using). Break up the eggs with a fork first, then incorporate them into the other liquid ingredients (you could do this in a separate bowl, but why dirty another thing?). Mix the batter, working the dry ingredients from the outside-of-the-bowl-in, until there are no visible lumps.
Cook:
- Heat the waffle maker and grease it with oil if needed. Once hot, pour enough waffle batter to fill the space most of the way; the batter will expand. If using a mini waffle maker, pour ¼ cup per waffle. Close the waffle maker and cook the waffles until steam stops coming out the sides, they're golden brown, and they lift from the plate easily.
- Remove each waffle from the waffle maker and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve and store:
- Serve these waffles with your favorite toppings and syrups.
- Leftover waffles can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days in a zip bag or container. Or, freeze them flat, then transfer them to a freezer zip bag and keep frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave or toast them.
Notes
- Each waffle has 10g of protein, which is twice that of a frozen protein Eggo waffle (5g ea).
- I'm using protein powder with 25g per scoop; if yours has more per scoop, your waffles will have more protein.
