Just posted these super delicious Quick and Easy Banana Pancakes not too long ago, so I thought I should probably get a waffle recipe up here, because I know lots of people love waffles more than pancakes. Personally, I can’t decide! I love both pancakes and waffles- and I wouldn’t say not to either of these delicious recipes.
These Protein Waffles only require a few ingredients, are SO TASTY, and are, of course, full of protein. I recently got my hands on some protein powder for the first time in a little while, and so I’m so excited to use it! It makes my smoothie bowls and oats super creamy, and also is a great addition to pancakes, muffins, other baked goods, and these waffles. Protein is important for recovery after working out, building muscle, and just keeping your body functioning. The one I used is vegan, but there are many different kinds out there! If you’re looking for more info you can find it here. Adding protein like this at breakfast is a great way to start your day and fill you up! Eggs and Greek yogurt are also great sources of breakfast protein, but when you want to switch it up a bit, protein powder can be delicious. Especially in WAFFLE FORM.
All of the batter ingredients get mixed up in one bowl for the least amount of dishes possible (you’re welcome), and then simply poured into a waffle iron. Make sure that you spray your iron with a bit of cooking oil before adding the batter, so that you can remove your waffles as easy as possible! I forgot to spray the top of mine and had a bit of trouble- that’s why I’m here, so you can learn from my mistakes. My waffles were in the iron for about 2 minutes, and got nice and golden brown on the outside, and super fluffy on the inside!
I used vanilla protein powder in this recipe, because I love the flavour that it lends. But if all you have is another flavour- like chocolate- feel free to try it out! Chocolate waffles would also be very tasty.
After removing these beautiful waffles from the iron, I topped them with a dollop of Greek yogurt, some sliced strawberries, and a drizzle of peanut butter. SO. DANG. GOOD. This recipe makes 1 serving, or about 2 waffles, but if you want to share this amazingness, go ahead and double it. I did not want to share.
I hope you enjoy these Vanilla Protein Waffles! There are so many occasions to enjoy them- whether it’s breakfast on a Saturday morning, a nice Valentine’s Day brunch, or a delicious snack. Making a big batch and freezing them for weekday mornings is a great idea as well! Way better than Eggos:) Also- don’t forget to let me know if you prefer pancakes or waffles in the comments!
