Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or 1/4 cup egg whites for extra protein
  • Optional add-ins: 1/4 cup berries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. If using Greek yogurt or egg whites, whisk them in now.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in any optional add-ins like berries or chocolate chips.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary.
  7. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings or let cool completely before freezing.

Notes

  • For meal prep, let waffles cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer frozen waffles to a freezer-safe bag or container.
  • Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster or toaster oven for a quick breakfast.
  • To boost protein further, top with Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of protein syrup.
  • These waffles are a great option for busy mornings, similar to how meal delivery services offer convenient options.
