Protein Waffles- Our go-to Waffles- Meal Prep for the week

I have been testing a lot of different protein pancake recipes and adding what we like to it. I personally think waffles are easier to make than pancakes, but you could use this recipe for a protein pancake or a protein waffle. The perfect fluffy thickness, a hearty waffle with a hint of vanilla, and packed with protein. A great way to start the day. You won’t believe how easy and tasty these are!

As mentioned above, this recipe can be used for protein pancakes too, but I think they are best if you make them the night before and refrigerate, otherwise they are too runny. Or you can make the mix and immediately use batter in a waffle maker, we make in our GreenPan Waffle Maker.
We meal prep this for the week, but I like to just make the mix and then cook the day we are eating it.
Put all ingredients in the blender and blend well. You can leave out the protein powder, but I love the extra boost of protein! My favorite protein powder is Just Ingredients, clean and yummy. Salted Caramel is my all time favorite and really good in this recipe, or Vanilla Bean is good (NWG discount code gives you 10% off).
I use real butter in my waffle maker to keep the waffle from sticking. They come out cleanly and smooth. No butter needed on them at the table!
Follow directions from your waffle maker. My GreenPan Waffle Maker uses 1/2 cup batter in each square. This waffle maker is my favorite! The plates are dishwasher safe and easy to wipe clean, also toxin-free. I really like the settings, something for everyone—from light to golden brown.
One batch makes 6-8 waffles depending on size. Tip- do not overcook or they get too hard and not as tasty, better to lean on the “lighter” setting.
I double my batch and keep the batter in the fridge in a glass canning jar. I can just pull it out and cook waffles as needed. I don’t love a waffle or pancake reheated.
Top with your favorite toppings! We love fresh berries, peanut butter, protein nut butters like this fit butter cinnamon sugar one, homemade whipped cream (heavy whipping cream and a little powdered sugar whipped with beaters until thick) and topped with maple syrup.

    These look so good! I’m always looking for ways to add in more protein. Do you use rolled oats?
