Why High-Protein Waffles Are a Game Changer

Protein-rich breakfasts help:

  • Build and preserve muscle
  • Keep you full for hours
  • Stabilize blood sugar
  • Support fat loss goals
  • Improve workout recovery

These waffles aren’t a compromise — they’re an upgrade. You get the comfort of waffles with the macros of a balanced meal.


How These Waffles Hit 45g+ Protein

This recipe achieves its high protein content by combining multiple protein sources rather than relying on powder alone:

  • Protein powder for concentrated protein
  • Eggs for complete amino acids
  • Greek yogurt for creaminess and extra protein
  • Milk to support structure and moisture

The result is a waffle that’s soft, filling, and incredibly satisfying.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • ½ cup oat flour (or blended oats)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond)
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or light oil for waffle iron

Optional Toppings (Protein-Friendly):

  • Greek yogurt
  • Nut butter
  • Sugar-free syrup
  • Fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until a thick batter forms.
  5. Pour batter into the hot waffle iron, spreading slightly.
  6. Cook according to waffle maker instructions (about 3–5 minutes) until golden and set.
  7. Remove carefully and repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite high-protein toppings.

Tips for Perfect Protein Waffles

  • Don’t overmix — keeps waffles fluffy
  • Use whey-blend or whey protein for best texture
