Make satisfying, high-protein waffles using simple ingredients. This recipe yields fluffy waffles perfect for a muscle-building breakfast or easy morning protein fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or casein)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or butter for the iron

Instructions

  1. Combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix the batter. A few small lumps are acceptable.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour the batter onto the hot iron according to your waffle maker’s instructions.
  6. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and releases easily from the iron, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately or keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb option, substitute half the oat flour with almond flour to make low carb protein waffles.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a pourable consistency.
  • Protein waffles freeze well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container for meal prep breakfast waffles.
