Ingredients
Scale
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder (about 30g protein)
2 tablespoons sweetener (e.g., erythritol, stevia, or maple syrup)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup egg whites (from about 2 large eggs)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg whites, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron for each waffle.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately or let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of berries, chocolate chips, or a tablespoon of peanut butter to the batter.
To make ahead, let the waffles cool completely and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with cottage cheese or silken tofu for a dairy-free option.
