Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1/4 cup of protein powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten. Add the 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix these wet ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps in the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires greasing, lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the waffle iron is preheated, ladle an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron using a fork or tongs. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring to grease the waffle iron again if necessary.
- Serve the high protein gluten-free waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or nut butter. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for smoother batter mixing.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold wet and dry ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense waffles.
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: A properly heated waffle iron is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy exterior.
- Use Fresh Protein Powder: Choose a high-quality protein powder that complements the waffle's flavor.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, nut butters, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup to keep the protein content high.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These waffles freeze beautifully! Cool completely, then store in freezer bags for quick weekday breakfasts.
- Check for Doneness: Look for a golden-brown color and crisp edges to ensure your waffles are perfectly cooked.
