How to Serve Protein Waffles

Protein waffles are great on their own, but you can make them even better with some tasty toppings. Try adding fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas for a burst of flavor. You can also drizzle some maple syrup, honey, or nut butter on top. For a crunchy texture, consider adding nuts or seeds. These waffles also pair well with yogurt or cottage cheese for an extra protein boost.

How to Store Protein Waffles

If you have leftover protein waffles, you can store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, stack the waffles with a piece of parchment paper in between each one and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Just pop them in the toaster or microwave to reheat when you’re ready to enjoy them again.

Tips to Make Protein Waffles

• Don’t overmix the batter. Mix until just combined for the fluffiest waffles.
• Experiment with different protein powder flavors to change things up; vanilla or chocolate are popular choices.
• Adjust the sweetness to your liking by varying the amount of sweetener you use.
• Make sure to preheat your waffle iron properly for the best results.

Variation

You can easily customize this recipe by adding other ingredients. Consider tossing in chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or even spinach for a nutrient boost. Gluten-free options can be made by using gluten-free oat flour. You can also use flavored protein powder for a fun twist.

FAQs

Can I make these waffles vegan?
Yes! You can substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) and use a plant-based milk alternative.

How can I make these waffles gluten-free?
Simply use gluten-free oat flour and check your protein powder to ensure it is gluten-free.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?
While it’s best to cook the waffles fresh, you can prepare the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and mix them together right before cooking to save time.
