Ingredients and equipment
The recipe calls for flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, yogurt or applesauce, sweetener of choice, optional egg whites, and water.
Choose plain or vanilla Greek yogurt for the highest protein content. I like Kite Hill dairy free. If you want, you can replace yogurt with apple puree or banana puree.
Or replace half of the yogurt with softened peanut butter to create peanut butter protein waffles. Almond oil and cashew oil also work.
Sweetening options include regular sugar or unrefined coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, honey or sugar-free granulated erythritol or monk fruit blend.
Go with any of your favorite protein powders like pea protein, soy protein, whey protein, casein, brown rice protein, or hemp protein.
I made this recipe using unflavored, sugar-free protein powder. For savory waffles, you may want to reduce the amount of added sweetener or use protein powder with sugar.
Once you’ve got the basics down, have fun trying different flavored protein powders like chocolate, tea, pumpkin, vanilla, strawberry, or birthday cake batter.
If you want to make protein waffles without protein powder, increase the flour by half a cup. The waffles still boast over two grams of protein each, or fifteen grams for the entire recipe.

How to make the best protein waffles
Start by gathering all your ingredients and a waffle iron.
The first step is to mix the dry ingredients very well in a large mixing bowl. Then whisk in the wet ingredients to form the waffle batter.
Some protein powders are thicker than others and may require more liquid. Add additional water or milk a tablespoon at a time until the batter resembles waffle or pancake batter.
Preheat the iron according to your brand and model.
Once heated, spray all over well with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the dough into the middle of the machine.
Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles or waffles are light and crispy.
Grease the waffle iron between each batch of waffles you make to prevent them from sticking while cooking.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Frozen protein waffles
Homemade frozen waffles are very easy to make. And they’re great for an almost instant healthy breakfast on a rushed weekday morning.
After baking, allow the waffles to cool completely on a cooling rack or plate.
Place in a large airtight container, placing a sheet of parchment paper between each layer to prevent the waffles from sticking together.
Waffles stored in the freezer should last at least three months.
For crispy frozen waffles, you can reheat them in a toaster oven or in a regular oven.
Another option is to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and simply microwave until warm in the morning.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make vegan protein waffles?
As long as you use dairy-free yogurt, plant-based protein powder, and water instead of eggs, this recipe is naturally egg-free and vegan.
For gluten-free waffles, I like Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour. Some other brands may also work.
Is the recipe low carb and keto?
Each waffle has just five grams of carbs and four net carbs. However, they are flour-based waffles and therefore cannot be considered keto. If you experiment with almond flour or coconut flour, let us know how it goes.
What kind of waffle iron?
The dough should be fine in most standard machines, whether it makes classic square or round waffles, mini waffles or other shapes.
The first time I made these waffles, I used a waffle iron. I loved the recipe so much that it made me buy a bigger iron for easier and faster results.
Will my waffles stick to the iron?
A great tip to create waffles that peel easily from the iron is to preheat the machine first. Then, before adding any batter, spray both sides liberally with nonfat cooking spray.
Repeat this step between batches of waffles.

The recipe works well with wholemeal flour, white flour, or some brands of all-purpose gluten-free flour. I cannot guarantee results using almond flour or coconut flour. If you choose a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or honey, reduce the water by two tablespoons.To make the protein waffles, whisk the dry ingredients well. Mix with moisture to form a dough. Depending on the type of protein powder, you may need to add more liquid a tablespoon at a time to achieve a pancake or waffle batter texture. I used it waffle iron. Preheat according to the instructions for your particular waffle maker. Lubricate very well after heating. Pour the dough into the center of the iron (watch the video to see the thickness of the dough). Cover and cook according to manufacturer’s directions until waffles are light and crispy. Oil the iron again to prevent sticking between the wafers.See nutrition facts
