Ingredients and Substitutions
You only need 4 ingredients to make these delicious high-protein waffles. Here’s how to pick and swap them.
- Greek Yogurt – This adds moisture and protein. Full-fat Greek yogurt prevents the waffles from becoming dry. Flavored yogurt adds taste and flavor to your waffles.
- Almond Butter – This adds richness and healthy fats. Peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (for a nut-free option) also work.
- Vanilla Protein Powder – This boosts the protein content and adds flavor. Pea protein powder works well, but other types will change the texture.
- Eggs – These bind the ingredients and provide structure to the waffles. Large eggs give the best results.
How to Make Protein Waffles
This recipe is really easy to whip up. Here’s how in a few pictures.
Pour all the waffle ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until smooth.
Scoop out the batter with an ice cream scoop.
Place the protein waffle batter on a hot, oiled waffle iron.
Cook the batter for 4 minutes until it’s golden brown.
Carine’s Tips
Let me share a few more tips for perfect waffles.
- Avoid Overbaking – Be careful not to overbake the waffles, as the protein powder can make them dry.
- Protein-Packed Toppings – Serve the waffles with Greek yogurt for extra protein and berries for an anti-inflammatory boost.
- Meal Prep Magic – Double (or triple) the recipe and freeze the waffles for easy, healthy protein breakfasts.
- Full-Fat Yogurt Advantage – Use full-fat Greek yogurt to keep the waffles moist.
- Grease the Iron – Spray the waffle iron with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
- Thin Batter is Key – Aim for a thin, runny batter for the best waffle texture.
- Consistent Baking – Bake each waffle for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Storage – Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Nut-Free Alternative – Sunflower seed butter works as a great nut-free substitute for almond or peanut butter.
