Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.25 cups milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a medium bowl and the whites in another separate bowl.
To the egg yolks, add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
Pour the yolk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, being careful to maintain the airiness.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron (usually about 1/2 cup, but refer to your waffle maker's guidelines).
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, syrup, or yogurt.
