Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or melted butter
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey (or maple syrup), and melted coconut oil (or butter). Mix until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing, as the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading evenly if needed. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp (typically 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron).
Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to maintain crispness while cooking additional batches.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or additional honey or maple syrup.
