Easy High Protein Waffles
Description
This recipe blends eggs, plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, oats, and spices into a smooth batter for waffles. The oats provide a tender yet slightly hearty texture, while the protein powder boosts the nutritional content without overpowering flavor. The batter cooks evenly and browns to golden waffles in about 3 to 4 minutes in a preheated waffle iron.
The flavor is lightly sweet with cinnamon and vanilla notes, combining well with traditional toppings like maple syrup, nut butter, or fresh fruit. The recipe allows adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or berries to introduce texture and extra flavor variations.
These waffles can be made ahead, stored in the refrigerator up to five days or frozen for longer storage. Reheating in a toaster or toaster oven revives the crispness and warmth. For dietary adjustments, egg whites can substitute whole eggs to reduce fat and calories, and dairy-free yogurt can replace Greek yogurt, maintaining the base consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain, whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons almond milk or any non-dairy milk, unsweetened
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 coop (25 grams) plant-based vanilla protein powder I used Nuzest
- ¾ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- cooking spray I like using coconut or avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth.
- Pour a scant ½ cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron, close, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the waffle iron and serve immediately with maple syrup, nut butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Replace whole eggs with 1/3 cup egg whites to lower fat and calories.
- Use dairy-free yogurt to make waffles dairy-free.
- Add chocolate chips, berries, or chopped nuts to the batter for variety.
- Store cooked waffles in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat waffles in a toaster or toaster oven straight from the fridge or freezer for best texture.
