Protein Waffles Recipe

Introduction

Protein waffles are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day, combining the goodness of oats and protein powder for a filling breakfast. They’re easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings for a perfect morning treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup all-purpose flour (70 g) (use gluten-free flour, if needed)
• 2 servings protein powder of choice (60-70 g or about ¾ cup)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk of choice (dairy-free if needed)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the waffle iron. You can use a regular size waffle maker or a mini waffle maker depending on your preference.
2. Step 2: Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend on low until the mixture is well combined, about 15-20 seconds.
3. Step 3: Pour a small amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron. The amount depends on the size of your waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are lightly golden and cooked through.
4. Step 4: Remove the cooked waffle to a plate or keep warm in the oven using the Keep Warm setting. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. This recipe makes about 12 standard size waffle squares or 18 mini waffles.
5. Step 5: Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter before blending.
• Try swapping the protein powder for a plant-based option if you prefer vegan waffles.
• Use coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version with a hint of natural sweetness.
• Make mini waffles for easy portion control and quick snacks on the go.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or warm them in the oven until crispy. You can also freeze waffles for up to 1 month; just thaw and reheat as needed.
