Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or flax/chia eggs for vegan version)
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute, optional)

Healthy Fats

  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, and baking powder. Whisk these together to ensure the leavening agent is evenly distributed, which will help your waffles rise beautifully.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and your choice of sweetener. This mixture creates a creamy base that adds moisture and flavor.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  4. Add healthy fats: Fold in melted coconut or olive oil to the batter. This step helps develop a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the waffles tender inside.
  5. Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour enough batter to cover the iron surface without overflowing, close, and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Preheat your waffle iron to ensure crispy, perfectly cooked waffles every time.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; stir gently to keep the waffles light and airy.
  • Adjust batter thickness by adding more milk if too thick or more flour if too thin.
  • Allow batter to rest for 5-10 minutes to improve texture and consistency.
  • Experiment with cooking time depending on your waffle iron to get the ideal golden finish.
