High Protein Waffles Recipe
If you want a healthy and filling breakfast, this High Protein Waffles Recipe is perfect. These waffles are crispy outside and soft inside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Waffle Maker
- Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to heat fully. A hot waffle iron ensures crispy edges and even cooking. Lightly grease with oil spray if needed.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed. This step prevents lumps later.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted oil, honey and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and slightly frothy.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should look smooth and slightly thick.
Pour Batter into Waffle Maker
- Use a ladle to pour batter into the center of the waffle iron. Spread lightly if needed. Close the lid gently.
Cook the Waffles
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your waffle maker. The waffles should look golden brown and slightly crisp outside.
Remove and Cool
- Carefully remove waffles using a spatula. Place them on a cooling rack to keep them crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.
Add Toppings and Serve
- Top with fresh berries, yogurt, nut butter or a drizzle of honey. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use chocolate protein powder for chocolate waffles.
- Add mashed banana for natural sweetness.
- Stir in blueberries for fruity flavor.
- Replace milk with almond milk for dairy-free option.
- Use whole wheat flour instead of oat flour if preferred.
- Add chia seeds for extra fiber.
