Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder vanilla or unflavored recommended
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted, plus more for greasing the waffle iron
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Waffle iron
  • Large Bowl
  • Medium Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure everything is thoroughly combined to prevent clumps in your batter.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup protein powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
    1 1/4 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can lead to tougher waffles.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly brush the grids with melted butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
    1/4 cup unsalted butter
  5. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly to the edges. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron.
  6. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve hot. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

Allow leftover waffles to cool completely on a wire rack before storing. Stack with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.
