Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup protein powder (32g)
  • 1/4 cup flour (35g) – spelt, white, or gluten-free all purpose
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water (reduce by 2 tbsp if using liquid sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup egg whites or additional water
  • 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce
  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice (powdered sweetener suggested, or liquid like maple syrup/honey adjusting water accordingly)
  • 2 tsp oil (optional, for crispy waffles)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in water, egg whites (or extra water), yogurt (or applesauce), and sweetener until a uniform batter forms. Adjust thickness by adding more water a tablespoon at a time if needed.
  3. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat the waffle maker as per manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, grease the surface generously with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Waffles: Pour batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are light golden brown and crispy on the outside. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.
  5. Repeat & Serve: Re-grease the waffle iron between batches and continue cooking remaining batter. Serve waffles warm with desired toppings.

Notes

  • The recipe works well with spelt flour, white flour, or gluten-free all purpose flour; almond or coconut flour are not recommended due to texture differences.
  • For liquid sweeteners like maple syrup or honey, reduce water by 2 tablespoons to maintain correct batter consistency.
  • Adding oil is optional but recommended for crispier waffles.
  • Adjust liquid amounts depending on the protein powder brand as absorption rates vary.
  • To keep waffles crispy, serve immediately or reheat in a toaster.
