Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Waffles
Description
Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Waffles bring together white whole wheat flour, vanilla whey protein powder, and mashed bananas for a balanced batter that yields waffles with a tender crumb and moist interior. The lightly spiced batter using cinnamon enhances the flavor profile, while the chocolate chips provide occasional sweetness. Cooking the batter in a preheated waffle iron ensures a golden exterior with slight crispness. The recipe includes options for toppings such as whipped cream, maple syrup, sliced bananas, crushed peanuts, and extra chocolate chips, which complement the waffle's flavor and texture. This recipe suits those looking to incorporate protein and fruit in a handheld breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (60 grams)
- 1 1/2 coops whey protein powder 48 grams, vanilla
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips 56 grams, mini, semi-sweet
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk 4 oz, unsweetened vanilla
- 1/2 cup banana 112 grams, mashed
- 3 egg white
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp butter 1/2 oz, unsalted, softened
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat waffle iron to medium heat (I set mine to just below 4).
- Mix all dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 1/3 of waffle batter into waffle iron, flip waffle maker to other side and repeat. Cook for about 4 minutes or until waffle is cooked through (my waffle maker beeps when it's done). Repeat with final waffle.
- Serve waffles with whipped cream, maple syrup, sliced bananas, crushed peanuts, and more chocolate chips on top, if desired (additional toppings not included in nutrition info).
