Easy High Protein Waffles
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!
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 scoop (25 grams) plant-based vanilla protein powder I used Nuzest
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- cooking spray I like using coconut or avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth.
- Pour a scant ½ cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron, close, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the waffle iron and serve immediately with maple syrup, nut butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- Storing: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: To reheat, pop the waffles in the toaster or toaster oven straight from the fridge or freezer.
