Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 as needed cooking spray or extra melted butter, for waffle iron
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Do not over-mix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Lightly coat your waffle iron with cooking spray or brush on some melted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
