WHAT ARE 3 INGREDIENT PROTEIN WAFFLES?

WHY CHOOSE HIGH PROTEIN WAFFLES?

Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a vital role in building and repairing tissues, as well as supporting the immune system and regulating hormones.

Eating a protein-rich breakfast can help you feel satisfied and prevent cravings for sugary or carb-heavy foods later in the day.

Waffles are a popular breakfast food, but traditional waffles can be high in carbs and low in protein.

By making protein waffles with a scoop of your favorite protein powder, you can enjoy the taste and texture of regular waffles while also getting a healthy dose of protein.

This basic waffle recipe is a great way to treat yourself without any guilt.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE HEALTHY 3-INGREDIENT PROTEIN WAFFLES

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this easy waffle recipe (the exact measurements, protein content and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Whole eggs
• Protein Powder of Choice – I used vanilla whey protein powder for gluten free waffles. But you can use different protein powders. Chocolate protein powder, vegan protein powder, vegan vanilla protein powder or plant-based protein powder will do.
• Baking Powder
• Optional – a teaspoon of vanilla extract, egg whites, some quick oats blended into oat flour to thicken up the texture of these waffles slightly, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE EASY PROTEIN WAFFLES

Preheat your waffle maker.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together each whole egg until they are well beaten.

Add the protein powder and baking powder to the small bowl, and mix well until there are no lumps. Then add in water 1 tbsp at a time till you reach desired consistency – I used 7 tbsp.

Pour batter into the waffle maker, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Serve cooked waffles hot with your favorite toppings, such as pure maple syrup, fresh fruit, peanut butter, almond butter or nut butter of choice, cottage cheese, chocolate chips, or sugar-free syrup.

Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container, ziplock bag or freezer-safe bag for a quick breakfast or meal planning. For best results reheat in a toaster oven.

DIFFERENT VARIATIONS FOR THESE GREAT WAFFLES

One of the great things about 3 ingredient protein waffles is they make the perfect base to customize to suit your preferences.

Here are some ideas for variations to make a delicious breakfast:

• Chocolate Protein Waffles: Use chocolate-flavored protein powder and dark chocolate chunks for a rich and indulgent breakfast.
• Vanilla Protein Waffles: Use vanilla-flavored protein powder for a classic waffle taste.
• Blueberry Protein Waffles: Add fresh or frozen blueberries to the waffle batter before cooking for a burst of fruity flavor.
• Cinnamon Protein Waffles: Add a dash of cinnamon to the batter for a warm and cozy taste.
• Snickerdoodle Protein Waffles: If you want snickerdoodle flavors you can add a the PEScience Snickerdoodle protein powder.
• Gluten-Free Waffles:

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

To ensure your 3 ingredient protein waffles turn out perfectly every time, here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Use a non-stick waffle iron or coconut oil cooking spray or to prevent the waffles from sticking.
• Don’t over-mix the batter, as this can make the waffles tough and chewy. For perfect waffles you want to mix until just combined.
• Use a high-quality protein powder for the best flavor and texture.
• Add a little water or almond milk to the batter if it seems too thick.
• Top your waffles with fresh berries, nuts, or a dollop of vanilla greek yogurt for extra protein and flavor.
• If you have a major sweet tooth, add a drizzle of maple syrup to the top of these waffles for the perfect solution to satisfy that sweet tooth.

In conclusion, 3 ingredient protein waffles are a delicious and healthy breakfast option.

With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a satisfying breakfast that will fuel your body and keep you feeling full until lunchtime.

They are also a great option for brunch or holiday mornings. Simply double or triple the recipe to make a big batch.

So, why not give them a try and see how they can benefit your breakfast routine?
