Equipment
Ingredients
- 39 grams Protein powder (note 1)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 Tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream (45g) (note 2)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- pinch of salt
- your favorite toppings for serving
Instructions
- Heat your waffle iron on medium and spray both plates with cooking spray. I prefer a mini dash waffle maker as it resembles Eggo waffles!
- Mix the protein powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Now stir in the egg and Greek Yogurt until fully combined.
- Using a ladle or cup, pour batter in the middle of the bottom plate until about ¾ of the bottom plate has batter on it. When the top is closed, the pressure will spread the batter to the rest of the spaces.
- Be sure to cook the waffle through. If you open the waffle maker and your waffle is split in half, it needed more time. This is the same as with regular waffles. For a crispier waffle, cook them a little past the indicator light.
- Serve with butter and sugar free syrup.
Notes
- Protein powder: I have only ever made this recipe with Premiere Protein Powder. Use others at your own risk! This needs to be weighed with a kitchen scale for best results. 39 grams of my protein powder is ½ cup, but your's may be different.
- Sour cream or Greek Yogurt: I like to use either light sour cream or plain 4% Greek Yogurt. You really need full fat Greek Yogurt (4% milk fat), light sour cream (10.5% milk fat), or full fat sour cream (18% milk fat). This helps the protein waffles not be so dry. You could also use blended cottage cheese.
- Nutritional information is calculated using the vanilla premiere protein powder and plain full fat Greek Yogurt.
