These easy, high protein waffles are fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and packed with over 50 grams of protein in the full recipe. They’re so delicious you’ll never make waffles any other way again!
The only thing better than waffles for breakfast is waffles that actually keep you full — and these healthy, high-protein waffles are just the solution!
I grew up eating Eggo frozen waffles and Bisquick waffles, but I was always hungry again right after. That’s why I was so excited to develop this protein-packed waffle recipe — now I can enjoy waffles that keep me full and satisfied for hours.
And if I do say so myself, these might just be the best protein waffles ever! They’re perfectly crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. If you’re on the fence about adding protein to your waffles, just give these a try — you won’t regret it!

“I’ve made several protein waffles and they all come out dry and dense. Not my favorite.
These came out light and crispy! Absolutely delicious!” – Kristina
Ingredients You’ll Need
You only need a handful of ingredients and a waffle maker to whip up these easy protein waffles. I bet you already have everything in your kitchen right now!
- eggs – help bind the waffle ingredients together… and adds extra protein!
- Greek yogurt – takes place of the liquid and oil you’d typically find in a traditional waffle recipe. It also adds extra protein!
- non-dairy milk – I used unsweetened almond milk but any non-dairy milk works!
- maple syrup – for a hint of natural sweetness in the batter and as a drizzle on top! Make sure you are using real maple syrup, not pancake syrup, which is loaded with corn syrup and a ton of added sugars.
- vanilla protein powder – any plant-based vanilla protein powder works. Nuzest and Truvani are two of my favorite brands. They’re both plant-based and have a minimal, clean ingredient list.
- rolled oats – in place of flour that you traditionally find in pancake and waffle recipes, I’m using rolled oats. When blended in a high powered blender, it turns into oat flour. Make sure you grab gluten-free oats if needed. I use Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats.
Find the full ingredient list with measurements in the recipe card below.
Easy Recipe Substitutions
- Use egg whites: Want to reduce the calories and fat content? Swap the 2 eggs with 1/3 cup egg whites.
- Make them dairy-free: Swap the Greek yogurt for dairy-free yogurt. I love siggi’s plant-based vanilla yogurt because it’s higher in protein. It does have some added sugar, so you might want to skip the maple syrup if you use this.
- Don’t have protein powder? If you’re looking for a waffle recipe without the added protein try my almond flour waffles instead. They still have 13 grams of protein per waffle!
- Add mix-in’s: I love adding mix-in’s to my pancakes and waffles! Try adding 1/4 cup chocolate chips, berries or chopped nuts to your batter before cooking.
How to Make The Best Protein Waffles (Step-by-Step)
These fluffy protein waffles are so easy to whip up! Just toss all your ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth and pour the batter into your waffle maker to cook. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
Step 1: Preheat waffle iron and grease with cooking spray. Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and combined.
Step 2: Pour about ½ cup of the batter into the waffle iron. Close and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Remove the waffle and serve.
Step 4: Pour maple syrup, nut butter, or add your favorite toppings (more ideas below).
Brittany’s Pro Tips!
- Use the right protein powder: I’ve only tested this recipe with plant-based protein powder (made from peas) and not all protein powders are the same! Pea protein absorbs more liquid than whey protein powder, so if you’re using a non-vegan protein powder, you may need to adjust the liquid ratio.
- Add more protein: Want to boost the protein content even more? Swap the Greek yogurt for full-fat cottage cheese, which has about 4 extra grams of protein per 1/2 cup.
- Preheat your waffle iron: Don’t rush this step! A fully heated waffle iron ensures crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside waffles.
How to Serve Protein Waffles
With 17 grams of protein per waffle, I feel good about eating one on its own, topped with a little nut butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. But if you’re hosting brunch or want a more filling meal, here’s what I recommend serving them with:
- Quiche – Get your savory fix with this dairy-free spinach quiche or kale and feta crustless quiche.
- Meat – For some added protein serve these waffles with breakfast sausage or turkey bacon For a vegan option, try my tempeh bacon.
- Fruit salad – I love this simple fruit salad as a refreshing side.
- Fun drink – You can’t have brunch without a mimosa or bellini right?! For a non-alcoholic option, try this grapefruit apple cider vinegar drink.
- Coconut butter – When I’m feeling fancy, I drizzle coconut butter over my waffles in addition to nut butter. It adds an amazing flavor! Check out my recipe on how to make homemade coconut butter.
- Granola – I love topping my waffles and pancakes with granola for extra crunch. Try my homemade granola or protein granola for a delicious twist!
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
Whether you’re meal prepping these waffles, making a double batch or just have leftovers, these protein powder waffles store beautifully.
- In the fridge: Allow the waffles to cool completely on a wire rack, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- In the freezer: Place waffles in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag (I like to use my Stasher bags) and layer them with parchment paper between each waffle to prevent sticking. The waffles will last in the freezer for up to 3 month.
- Reheating: I like to pop my waffle straight into the toaster or toaster oven (from the fridge or freezer) so it reheats and gets crispy. You can also microwave it for about 60 seconds, but it won’t be as crisp.
Protein Waffle FAQs
Yes! These waffles are packed with 17 grams of protein and made with better-for-you ingredients like Greek yogurt, maple syrup, rolled oats, and protein powder — unlike store-bought waffles, which are often made with refined sugar, flour, and seed oils.
I have this basic Oster Waffle Maker. It’s nothing fancy, but it works well and makes perfect waffles. 🙂 These waffles have also been tested in this Calphalon waffle maker, which worked wonderfully.
Even if your waffle maker is non-stick, I recommend spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Use an oil mister or a non-aerosol spray like coconut oil spray or Chosen Foods avocado oil spray. Avoid sprays like Pam, as they can damage the non-stick coating over time.
I haven’t tried it, but if you prefer not to use protein powder, you can try replacing it with extra rolled oats or almond flour for structure. Keep in mind that the protein content will be lower without the powder.
Definitely! These waffles store and freeze well. You can make a double batch, freeze them, and then pop them in the toaster for a quick and easy breakfast.
If your waffles aren’t crispy enough, try 1) Letting the waffle cook a little longer before removing it. 2) Preheating your waffle maker fully before adding the batter.
3) Using less batter to allow for crispier edges. 4) Reheating in the toaster instead of the microwave.

Really yummy! It yielded 7 small waffles which wasn’t quite enough for 3 adults so I will double next time! Thanks for recipe!
So glad you enjoyed the waffles, Susie! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I so appreciate it.
Can’t wait to try these! If I wanted to make them pumpkin flavored, how much canned pumpkin should I add and would I need to adjust the quantities of the other ingredients?
Hey Katie – You could try swapping the yogurt with canned pumpkin. I bet that would work well! This will change the macros though and reduce the protein amount since pumpkin doesn’t have as much protein as Greek yogurt. Let me know if you end up trying these and how they turn out! A pumpkin waffle sounds delicious. 🙂
I made this recipe this morning. They are really good! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Thank you for the recipe!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Deb. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
Delicious, easy! Used half n half instead of plant or nut milk. Came out great 👍🏻
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Sharon. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
These waffles have become a regular meal at our house. I use our mini waffle maker for my daughter. We make them often for the week ahead. Love them!
YUM! I am so glad these are a hit for you all, Caleigh. Thank you for taking the time to share your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Made these for the first time this morning and they were delicious! Added a tbsp of peanut butter powder too. Had them with fresh banana and Strawberries and a little bit of maple syrup. Thanks for an awesome and filling recipe 🙂 Will definitely add these to the regular rotation
WOO! This sounds amazing, Simone. I am so glad to hear you are loving these waffles. Thank you for taking the time to share your review & star rating, I appreciate it!
I swapped eggs for whites only and beat them first and added all the other ingredients and they turned out so big and fluffy! Delicious. I also froze leftovers and then pop into toaster for a quick midweek breakfast:)
Amazing! I am SO glad you are loving these waffles and they turned out great for you, Shannon. Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and share your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
I’ve made several protein waffles and they all come out dry and dense. Not my favorite.
These came out light and crispy! I didn’t have yogurt so I used cottage cheese and added pbfit powder for extra protein. Absolutely delicious!
WOO! I am so glad you found this recipe and gave it a try, Kristina. Thanks so much for sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
I make these constantly. I love how well they freeze up and the nutrition on them is excellent! A go to recipe for sure!
YUM! I am happy to hear that you are loving these waffles, Jess. Thanks so much for giving them a try and for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
Surprisingly good. I was skeptical of replacing flour with oats but it worked. I only had vanilla whey protein on hand it substituted fine. I also use the Oster waffle iron and I didn’t need to cook them quite as long. They got dark pretty fast so I’ll adjust the time back to 2 minutes and check them.
YUM! My favorite breakfast, Valerie. I am so glad you gave these a try and they turned out great for you. Thanks for sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
Made the recipe and found the batter too thin so I added half a ripe banana and a good scoop of PB to the blender. This batter was thicker and gave me about 18 small (2.5ish inches) waffles. I make a batch every week or so and they’re perfect for my little guy’s breakfast with fruit puree or yogurt on top and fresh raspberries on the side.
YUM! Sounds amazing, Chris. I am so glad you gave these a try and they are a hit. Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, I really appreciate it!
These are such a great protein packed healthy waffle option. My kids loved them! Question for the serving size are you using a mini waffle iron or a regular sized one?
Hi Leslie – So glad to hear everyone loved these waffles. The serving size is for a regular-sized waffle iron. Thanks for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
This was so easy and tastes great . Another fabulous meal prep idea to asisit in my protein intake !! Love it
Excellent recipe! I’ve been making waffles for my kids over the years with white flour and veg oil that didn’t have much nutritional value. These are so much better! The kids loved them and so did I. I doubled the recipe, but only used 3 eggs. Also used non-fat Greek yogurt since that’s what I had, but would probably use full fat next time. It made 9 waffles for me. Enough for leftovers!
Yay! I am SO glad you are loving this waffle recipe, Corey. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
these waffles are amazing! I’m not sure what some others are complaining about, but my husband and I made a double batch with the intention of saving some for the following day, and ate them all in one sitting. thank you for this recipe!
YUM! Excited to hear you are loving this recipe, Lola. Thank you for giving it a try and for sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
Can’t wait to try this! I’m trying to avoid eggs; any recommendations on a good substitute here?
Hi Gabi – I haven’t tested this recipe with flax egg so I am not sure how/if they would turn out. The egg adds extra protein + binds the ingredients together. Let me know if you give these a try and how they turn out for you.
I doubled the recipe because as shown, this only makes 3 waffles. Doubling it actually made us 7 total waffles. Finally, a waffle recipe without refined flour! My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe, and our waffles were delicious. They were filling, tasted good, and I will be making these again. I actually prepped the dry ingredients in one container, and the wet in another container in the fridge the night before. In the morning, I dumped both container contents into the blender while my waffle iron was heating up and pulsed it a few times. We topped ours with a drizzle of pure organic maple syrup & fresh organic blueberries. The only deviation of the ingredients was the brand of vanilla protein powder I used (Garden of Life: Raw Organic Fit). Thank you for a healthy waffle recipe!
Yay! I am so glad you both enjoyed this waffle recipe, Angela. Thank you so much for sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
Tastes great, but the batter was way too thin, even after adding more oats.
Hi, Raerae! I am glad you gave these a try! Did you change anything about the batter that could have caused it to be too thin?
We loved these high protein waffles! My daughter said they taste like restaurant waffles, which is the ultimate compliment for a waffle, especially one that doesn’t have any flour! I think the key to its success was using super high fat Greek yogurt.
AWW YAY! This seriously makes me SO happy to hear. I’m glad you are loving these waffles and they turned out amazing for you. Thank you for your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
I thought they turned out great. Not eggy here and I followed the recipe exactly as written. Mine did yield 5 waffles, so the macros definitely changed.
YUM! Sounds amazing, Laci. Glad you gave these a try and they turned out amazing for you. Thank you for your review & star rating, I appreciate it!
Came out great! Took the advice from another and only used 1 egg.
I used BodyTech Whey Protein Pro24 vanilla powder and my macros came out as:
Cals – 173
Carbs – 20g
Fat -4g
Protein- 16g
YUM! I am so glad you enjoyed these waffles, Tom. I am SO glad you are loving this recipe and it turned out great for you. Thank you for your review + star rating, I truly appreciate it!
I love this recipe, so easy and healthy. I modified a bit by using 1 egg instead of 2 (tasted a lot like egg). Been making it every weekend!
Amazing! So glad you are enjoying this recipe and these waffles turn out amazing for you, Camila. Thank you for your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
These are SO bad. The texture is very yuck for a waffle and the taste is very bland / eggy.
Oh no – so sorry this recipe didn’t turn out for you. Did you change anything about the recipe?
ts tastes like just egg.
Hi Lia – These definitely shouldn’t taste like egg, what type of protein powder did you use?
The nutrition information is way off! Like someone else said, if your counting calories, macros etc. do your research. They taste good, but even when using all low cal ingredients, they’re a lot for one waffle with not that much protein. Also, how many servings does the recipe yield?
Hi Kim! Thank you so much for bringing this up again. Sometimes the nutrition calculations can be off and you were totally correct about this one. I popped it back in MFP and the nutrition facts are now correct. The recipe makes 3 waffles, each around 220 calories and 17 grams of protein. Hope this helps clear things up!
Is it supposed to be 1 3/4 oats by any chance?! Mine came out straight liquid
Nope, the measurements above are correct. Did you change anything about the recipe? Maybe added too much milk?
Hello! Can I use oat flour instead of rolled oats? I just have the park flour laying around and would like to use it in this recipe. If so, how many cups and do I still need to use a blender?
Hi Sal – I haven’t tried it, but I think it should work. I would just use the same amount of oat flour that would would oats, and you shouldn’t have to use the blender. Let me know how this turns out, hope you enjoy!
Very easy to make, healthy, and tasty. My husband liked these waffles, and he’s usually picky about food that tastes too healthy. I’ll be adding this recipe to my breakfast meal prep.
Aw yay! This is great, Perla. I am so glad you and your husband are enjoying these waffles and they turned out great for you. Thank you for sharing your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Omg, these are delicious! I love that you can make slight changes to meet your individual needs and taste. I cut recipe in half and made pancakes instead. I used chocolate protein powder, used 1 TBS of natural PB instead of maple syrup, added 1 TBS of ground flaxseed, and omitted the baking powder based on another commenters suggestion. I’ll definitely make these again!
WOO! I am so excited to hear that you are loving these waffles, Krista. Thank you for sharing your review + star rating, I means so much to me!
Best waffle recipe I’ve tried so far! I used almond milk and non-fat chobani plain yogurt. Came out great! Made about 7 mini waffles.
AH YAY! I am so glad that you found this recipe and are loving it, Ash. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I truly appreciate it!
These turned out fantastic and this is exactly the recipe I was looking for. Bookmarking this to make again and again!
Yay! So glad you loved this recipe, Kelly. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
This is a super simple high protein breakfast! I did a half batch, and using my Dash mini waffle maker I got 6 waffles. I used vanilla whey protein which might have made it a bit drier (I’ve read that plant protein is better to bake with for this reason). I also used oat flour instead of blending rolled oats. I had to keep a watchful eye on the waffle maker and remove them the very moment they were done, or else they turned out far too dry. Overall this recipe is a keeper and seems like a great base to customize (add blueberries, pumpkin pie spice, etc).
Thanks for sharing you substitutions, Kim! So glad you enjoyed this recipe.
it’s a good recipe but the low rating is due to the macros. They are off. the calorie count is too low compared to the real amount. two eggs are approx 140, the yogurt is 115, protein 100 and oats 270. That alone equaling 625kcal. which would put a serving of 3 at over 200 kcal for those who are counting calories and macros appropriately.
Hi Brian – I completely depends on the brand that you use for each ingredient. I try to always use low calorie ingredients when available so depending on the brands you have used, that could be why you are calculating the calories a bit differently.
It’s doesn’t work with dairy free milk.
What type of DF milk did you use?
These are the best gluten-free waffles I have ever had, and are better than almost all of the regular waffles I have had too! Quick and easy, and my kids love them.
WOO! I am SO glad you are loving these waffles, Anne! Thank you for sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
Yummmmm! These taste so good. Nothing better than tossing ingredients in a blender too. So easy.
Yay! This is such a delicious and easy recipe, Jenna, I am so glad you are loving them. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
OMG these are SOOOO good and made my house smell yummy all day after making them!! Made a triple batch this weekend and put in the freezer for the week ahead. They taste DELICIOUS!
Ah this is absolutely perfect, Mary! I am so excited to hear that you are loving this recipe and it turned out great for you. Thank you for your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!

SO GOODDDDDD!!!I was looking for a super quick protein waffle recipe and these are IT. I added chocolate chips to one and cinnamon sugar on top of the other😋😋😋def another go to recipe
Ahh this is the best! Love your topping options, Lucy, sounds delicious. I am so glad that you are loving these waffles. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
OMG!!! these are so GOOD. I’ve been eating healthy for a while now and it’s so hard to hit the sweet tooth with healthy desserts that actually taste good. I’ve add half a banana in the batter and they are perfect. I also like adding dark chocolate chips and toppings it with almond butter, coconut cream and a bunch of bananas and strawberries! I LOVE THESE SO MUCH AHH
LOVE this, Naomi! I am pumped to hear that you are absolutely loving this recipe and that you are having a great time mixing up the toppings, they all sound so fun. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
These are delish! My kids love them and love added blueberries or strawberries to batter! I subbed the extra oats instead of protein powder as noted in additional directions and turned out perfectly! These freeze great for a quick breakfast as well!
Aw yay! I am excited to hear that this recipe is a hit and turned out great, Jennifer. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
What a delicious Protein Waffle recipe…love the ingredients & always like suggestions using protein powder. Have already made them several times! Yum! Am having fun trying various toppings….so far my favorite is topping with a blob of plain Greek yogurt & a scattering of walnuts. 😋
Ah this is amazing, Barbara. I am excited to hear that you are loving this recipe and finding new toppings for the waffles. Thanks so much for your review + star rating, I truly appreciate it!
Made these today and like many of your other recipes I loved these! The flavor was great and i loved that they had a bit of a crunch to them on the outside. I’m definitely going to make these again. I used Vanilla protein powder but I bet it would be fun to try different flavors like chocolate!!
I loved these! Super easy to make and I like how light they are yet packed with protein and clean ingredients. The flavor was perfect! I’m sure the type of protein powder each person uses will make a significant difference with the flavor. I used a mini waffle maker, sprayed it with coconut oil, topped with almond butter and sliced bananas. My family ate them all!
This sounds absolutely delicious, Chrysti. I am so excited to hear that you and your family are loving this recipe! Thank you for sharing your review + star rating, I truly appreciate it.
The flavor was great but, like another commenter posted, they were too light and dry. We have a Cuisinart double waffle maker. The heat was on medium but there was a TON of steam. I’m wondering if cooking at a much lower temp would have done the trick but would love any suggestions you have for adding a little more moisture to them (possibly butter of some form?). I’m new to a lot of this. I’ve tried a few of your other recipes and they’ve been spot on. Also, I followed the directions with the exception of regular milk instead of dairy free.
Hi Deb – I am not sure why they may have turned out a bit dry, possibly cooked for a little too long. What size waffle maker are you using? That might also be the problem. I am glad to year that you enjoyed the flavor of the waffles though! Thank you for your review & star rating, I really appreciate it.
Could I use plain non fat Greek yogurt instead?
Hi Melanie – are you wanting to just plain yogurt instead of greek yogurt?
best tasting protein waffles i have ever had and such a lovely texture. also work well as pancakes. LOVE THEM
YAY! I am excited to hear that you are loving this recipe and that they work well as pancakes too, Rebecca. Thank you so much for sharing your review + star rating, I so appreciate it!
3/5 from us. This recipe made 3 smaller waffles. The taste was decent, at first I didn’t like it but it grew on me. The main issue is there is almost no substance to them, they were light and almost hollow after cooking. I may try adding a couple tbsp flour next time to see if that helps round these out.
Dang! So sorry to hear that this recipe didn’t turn out for you. Did you change anything about the recipe? What size is your waffle maker? I’m wondering if yours might be much larger than mine. Maybe doubling the recipe would help?
Love all your recipes, including this one. Thank you!!
Yay!! So glad you loved this recipe, Allison! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it.
Love the recipe. Hate the ads.
Hi Patrick – I am sorry to hear that you’re having troubles viewing the recipes because of the ads. Are you looking at the recipes on your desktop or phone? I’ll make sure to chat with my developer about this. Thank you for your review + star rating, I appreciate it!
I followed the recipe exactly except the flavor changes,I used PB protein powder and peanut butter instead of maple syrup. They came out delicious. Made about six regular waffles. After cooking toasted up perfect in a toaster. Topped with more peanut butter and they were perfect.
I am so happy you enjoyed these, Melanie! Your flavor substitutions sound delicious! Thank you for your review + star rating, I appreciate it!
Yummy recipe! Obviously not the same texture as normal waffles, but with a few of your favorite toppings… it’s delicious!
Yay! Glad you’re enjoying these protein waffles, Melanie. Thanks for leaving a review, I really appreciate it.
I was a little intimidated by the longer than preferred ingredients list but I just threw everything in my Vitamix and it was so easy! I used the only yogurt I have which is this 5.3 oz regular Yoplait vanilla yogurt. Because I was adding more liquid, I thought I’d be okay adding a full serving, 2 tablespoons, of my Orgain protein powder and the result were these very fluffy, very yummy, waffles! Thanks, Brittany! This will be a repeat for sure!
Woo! So glad this recipe was a success for you, Michelle! Thank you for sharing your review, I appreciate it so very much!
These work so good! Super tasty. You don’t actually need the baking powder if you are using baking soda and Greek yogurt, so don’t stress if you don’t have any on hand 🙂
Woo! Glad these waffles worked out for you and thanks for sharing that tip, Megan!
These turned out SO good!! Fluffy on the inside but crisp on the outside & the flavor is great. Toppings we used were blueberries & maple syrup, dark chocolate chips, and bananas w/ melted peanut butter. 1/3 C was perfect for the quad Belgian waffle maker I used. I made a quadruple batch as meal prep for the week😋
Woo! I’m so happy to hear this recipe was a hit for you, Ilaria. Making a quadruple batch to meal prep is genius. Thanks for coming back to leave a review, I appreciate it.
These waffles were so delicious! I love having a protein filled breakfast option. I topped with banana and peanut butter + hemp seeds. These reheated perfectly in the air fryer. I have a dash waffle iron and used 1/4c batter and they were perfect eggo style size
I’m so happy to hear this recipe worked out for you, Kaitlyn! Thanks for sharing how much batter you needed for each waffle and for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
These were exactly what I was looking for. I recently started WW and I get eggs and oatmeal for 0 points. That makes this recipe 1 point for the entire batch (based on the protein powder I used)! Easy to make and delicious!
I’m so glad this recipe worked out for you, Diane! Thanks for making it and coming back to leave a review and star rating, I really appreciate it!
I only had chocolate protein powder on hand so I used that and they were delicious! Making them again today!
Yum! A chocolate waffle sounds delicious, Janet! Thanks for coming back to leave a review and star rating, I really appreciate it!
(Shoutint) BriiiitNEEE—have I told you lately that I love you?!? I have literally been camping out on your page for.. well idk how long but I haven’t made a recipe yet we haven’t loved. Only thing that would make it any better is if you just come make it for me! I love EBF and share with everybody!
Ahh this comment made my day. 🙂 So glad you’re loving the recipes, Michelle! I appreciate the review.
These are delicious! I topped them with frozen mixed berries (heated for 45 seconds in the microwave) and they were delicious! I left out the syrup and they were plenty sweet with the berries.
Yay! So happy to hear you loved these protein waffles, Sue. Thanks so much for the review!
I’m always looking for breakfast ideas that will fill up my 3 teenage boys — this one is a winner! I love the healthy ingredients plus it’s so quick & easy to make. I also love that it’s a flour-less waffle option. We will definitely be making these waffles regularly!
Yay!! So glad these waffles were a hit. Thanks for making this recipe, Becky and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
I love making waffles with oat flour. Adding protein powder is a great idea. Is the substitution for oat flour and oats cup for cup?
I haven’t tried this recipe with a sub for the oats! Maybe almond flour would work? Let me know if you try it and how the waffles turn out. 🙂
These were so easy to whip up! I made about a dozen using my dash mini waffle iron. I blended everything using my small KitchenAid food chopper, which was the perfect size for all the ingredients. Another great recipe from EBF!
Oh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Molly. So pumped these waffles were a hit! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
could you sub in PB Fit for the protein powder?
I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure, but I could see it working! Let me know if you try it.
This recipe looks amazing! Can you make pancakes with this recipe? I don’t have a waffle iron.
Hey Judy! I haven’t tried this recipe as pancakes, but I bet you could! I also do have this protein pancake recipe you can try. 🙂
