Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sugar or sugar substitute
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar or sugar substitute.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron, using the recommended amount for your specific appliance (usually 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Spread it evenly if necessary.
Close the lid and cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, about 5-7 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or sugar-free syrup.
