Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup whey protein powder (chocolate flavor preferred)
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients slowly, stirring continuously, until a thick batter forms.
Gently fold in the melted butter until fully incorporated into the batter.
Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Pour a suitable amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (check your waffle iron's capacity to avoid overflow).
Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the waffles are cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topping with your favorite fruits, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
