Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- ½ cup (approx. 8 Tbsp) egg whites
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or approximately 6 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp flour (optional for a cakier texture)
- ½ tsp almond extract (or vanilla extract)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Whisk together egg whites, vanilla protein powder, flour (if using), and almond extract in a bowl until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly spray it with a non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the waffles.
- Cook Waffle: Pour a modest amount of batter onto the waffle iron—do not overfill to allow room for the waffle to expand without spilling. Close the iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffle has a crisp golden exterior.
- Serve: Remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately. Enhance your waffle with sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or any favorite healthy toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Using flour is optional and will result in a cakier waffle texture; omitting it will make the waffle lighter and more protein-dense.
- Use egg whites for a lower fat and higher protein content; whole eggs will change the texture and fat content.
- Almond extract can be substituted with vanilla extract if preferred.
- Adjust cooking time according to your waffle iron; each model varies slightly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture as waffles can become soggy if left to sit.
