Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour (or wholemeal for extra fibre)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavoured works best)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk (or plant milk for dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 extra egg white
Instructions
- Start by whisking dry ingredients in a big bowl: flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. This even spread prevents lumps later.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, and egg white until smooth. Pour wet into dry and stir just until combined – a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for five minutes; it thickens nicely from the protein.
- Heat your waffle iron to medium-high. For Belgian styles, it makes thicker waffles; standard ones give thinner crisps. Grease well with oil spray – protein batter sticks less with a good coat.
- Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter per waffle, depending on your iron. Cook until steam slows and edges turn golden, about 3-5 minutes. Keep finished ones warm in a low oven to stay crisp.
- Different irons vary, so test the first batch. If they stick, add more grease next time. Stack them high and dig in while hot.
