Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle maker—either a regular size or mini waffle iron—so it’s ready for cooking the batter.
Blend the batter: Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend on low for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Cook the waffles: Pour a small amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, adjusting the quantity depending on the size of your waffle maker. Cook until the waffles are lightly golden and cooked through. Remove cooked waffles to a plate or keep them warm by placing in an oven set to the Keep Warm setting.
Repeat cooking: Continue pouring the batter and cooking in batches until all the batter is used. This recipe yields 12 standard size waffle squares or 18 mini waffles.
Serve: Serve the protein waffles with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or syrup.

Notes

You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
Use any protein powder you prefer: whey, plant-based, or collagen.
Use dairy or non-dairy milk alternatives based on dietary needs.
If you want crispier waffles, leave them in the waffle iron for an extra minute or two.
To keep waffles warm, use your oven's Keep Warm setting or a low temperature (around 200°F/90°C).
These waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
