Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or melted butter
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey (or maple syrup), and melted coconut oil (or butter). Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing, as the batter should remain slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading evenly if needed. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp (typically 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron).

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to maintain crispness while cooking additional batches.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or additional honey or maple syrup.
