Instructions

Prepare the Batter: Whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the water, egg whites (or additional water), yogurt (or applesauce), sweetener, and optional oil until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a batter forms. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if the batter is too thick.
Preheat the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly if needed. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the iron if required.

Notes

Use your favorite protein powder, such as whey, pea, or soy protein, depending on dietary preferences.
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blends.
The oil is optional but helps achieve crispier waffles; you can omit it for lower fat content.
Sweetener can be sugar, honey, maple syrup, or any sugar substitute according to taste.
Ensure the waffle iron is hot enough before adding batter to avoid sticking.
These waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick meal.
