Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons protein powder of choice (or collagen)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2.5 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix these together to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add wet ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter.
  3. Preheat waffle iron: While preparing the batter, turn on your waffle iron to heat it up to the appropriate cooking temperature.
  4. Cook waffles: Pour a small amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing (this amount depends on your waffle iron’s size). Close the lid and cook until the waffle turns lightly golden and is cooked through. This usually takes around 3-5 minutes depending on the iron.
  5. Remove and repeat: Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. This recipe yields either 3 mini waffles or 1 standard-sized waffle, suitable for one serving.
  6. Serve: Serve your protein waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • You can double or triple the recipe to serve more people.
  • Use any protein powder you prefer, including collagen, whey, or plant-based options.
  • Oat flour can be substituted with another gluten-free flour if desired.
  • Adjust milk quantity slightly if batter is too thick or thin.
  • For extra crispiness, cook the waffles a little longer but monitor carefully to prevent burning.
