# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp Vanilla Whey Protein Powder, 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 tbsp Cornstarch, 1 tbsp Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp Baking Soda, 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt, 2 tbsp Granulated Erythritol, 1 tbsp Light Brown Sugar, and 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon. This forms the base for your "Protein Powder Waffles: 41g Protein, Crispy & Quick".
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk, 1/4 cup Melted Unsalted Butter, and 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract until well combined. Ensure the butter is melted but not hot, to avoid cooking the protein powder prematurely when mixed.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; overmixing can lead to tough waffles. This batter is crucial for achieving "Protein Powder Waffles: 41g Protein, Crispy & Quick".
04 -
Allow the waffle batter to rest for 5 minutes. This resting period helps the flour hydrate and the baking powder activate, resulting in a lighter, crispier texture. Use this time to ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated.
05 -
Lightly brush or spray your preheated waffle iron with 1 tbsp Neutral Oil (e.g., avocado, canola). Pour about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, or as directed by your iron. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat for all "Protein Powder Waffles: 41g Protein, Crispy & Quick".
06 -
Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron. Serve your delicious Protein Powder Waffles immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use vanilla whey protein powder as specified. Other protein types (e.g., casein, plant-based) may absorb liquid differently, requiring slight adjustments to the almond milk quantity.
02 -
Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven for crispness.
03 -
To maintain maximum crispiness, avoid stacking hot waffles directly on top of each other. Place them on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving or storing.
04 -
Elevate your waffles with toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
