Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/protein-pancakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/protein-pancakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">protein pancakes<\/a>, this waffle recipe is written with balanced macros in mind. It doesn&#8217;t have any of the refined white flour or sugar commonly found in classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fluffy-waffles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fluffy-waffles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">waffle<\/a> recipes. Instead, oats are blended to create homemade oat flour then are mixed with honey. Eggs, protein powder and Greek yogurt increase the protein content, so each waffle boasts about 12 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p>This protein waffle recipe is an excellent addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/high-protein-meals\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/high-protein-meals\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">high-protein meals<\/a>, and is designed to help you feel fuller for longer. As an essential bonus, these waffles actually taste fantastic! They don&#8217;t have any of the grittiness seen in some recipes made with protein powder. Instead, the batter comes together to create a fluffy, light, almost cake-like waffle with a slight nuttiness and notes of vanilla and cinnamon.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Protein Waffles<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2027663 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Protein-Waffles_TOHcom23_272796_P2_MD_04_21_3b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ingredients for Protein Waffles on blue background\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oats:<\/strong> Blending old-fashioned oats turns them into oat flour, which binds the liquid ingredients in the waffle batter. Want to make gluten-free protein waffles? Look for certified gluten-free oats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Eggs add moisture and fat to protein waffles so they don&#8217;t feel dry. Use room-temperature eggs to help them blend more easily.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greek yogurt: <\/strong>One of the many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/benefits-of-greek-yogurt\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/benefits-of-greek-yogurt\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">benefits of Greek yogurt<\/a> is that is has a higher protein content than regular yogurt. Feel free to swap in cottage cheese, which shares a surprisingly similar nutritional profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protein powder:<\/strong> The recipe calls for vanilla whey protein powder, but you can use chocolate or other flavors for variety.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oat milk:<\/strong>\u00a0Use oat milk to\u00a0keep things consistent and accentuate the oats&#8217; nuttiness.

A pinch of salt balances out the sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple syrup and fresh fruit:<\/strong> Protein waffles can be served with various toppings. Keep them simple with syrup and fresh fruit, or choose from some of the ideas below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tools for Making Protein Waffles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blender:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll need a blender to turn the oats into oat flour.

The waffles will last up to four days, although they will get softer as they sit in the fridge. Restore their crisp exterior by reheating the waffles in a toaster oven.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze protein waffles?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze protein waffles for up to three months. Cool the waffles on wire racks, then freeze the waffles between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster on the medium setting. Or microwave each waffle on high until it&#8217;s heated through, 30 to 60 seconds.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make protein waffles ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Protein waffles store well in both the fridge and freezer, so feel free to make them ahead of time. The recipe makes about 2-1\/2 cups of waffle batter, or four 6-inch waffles. You can double (or triple!) the recipe and freeze the waffles so you&#8217;ll always have an easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/freezer-breakfasts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/freezer-breakfasts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">freezer-friendly breakfast<\/a> on hand.<\/p>\n<h2>Protein Waffles Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2027662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Protein-Waffles_TOHcom23_272796_P2_MD_04_21_2b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Protein Waffles served with fruits\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What kind of protein powder should you use to make protein waffles?<\/h3>\n<p>We used whey protein to make this protein waffle recipe, which produces waffles with a moist, cake-like texture. You should be able to substitute casein-based or plant-based protein powders like hemp or pea protein powder, although you may need to adjust the amount of liquid ingredients. We don&#8217;t recommend baking with whey isolate powder, as it tends to create very dry baked goods.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did my protein waffles turn out dry?<\/h3>\n<p>Waffles can turn out dry for a variety of reasons. Make sure to follow the waffle maker&#8217;s instructions to avoid overcooking the waffles, which can cause too much moisture to evaporate. If you made a protein powder substitution, you may need to add a little more liquid to the batter. It should be thick enough to pour out of the blender but not so runny that it pools in the waffle maker. If the batter is the right consistency but the waffles still taste dry, add a little canola oil to the blender for the extra fat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This protein waffles recipe is packed with protein from eggs, oats, Greek yogurt and whey protein powder.
