Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: 1/4 cup berries, chocolate chips, or mashed banana

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. If using, gently fold in your desired add-ins.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Serve immediately or let cool completely before freezing.

Notes

  • For freezer storage, let waffles cool completely on a wire rack. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
  • To increase protein, you can substitute some of the milk with Greek yogurt or add an extra egg white.
  • For a savory version, omit sugar and cinnamon and add herbs or cheese to the batter.
  • These waffles pair well with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
