High Protein Waffles

I do love me some waffles… and I love to eat of protein at breakfast time so it was a natural that I was eventually going to mix some protein powder with some eggs whites and make waffles.  I can’t believe it took me so long…and I don’t know what else to call them… High Protein Waffles tells the story pretty much!  They are grain free and gluten free... bonus!

I have made them a couple of times now.  They get crispier the longer you cook them.  The first time I made them, The Captain could smell them from another room and thought I was burning sugar!

Mmmmm.

If you love waffles, you have got to try these.  I am sure you could use whatever protein powder is your favorite.  Make them vegan if you like.

And I promise you they will keep you full all morning… mine power me through a 7km run and cool down quite easily. 

The N.I. I am sharing is based on the North Coast Naturals 100% ISO Protein whey powder that I used.  Yours will vary of course.

Yep, that is a lot of cinnamon on top!


What about you? Waffles or pancakes?

Do you eat more protein on days you work out or run?

    Easiest waffle recipe ever! I don't have a waffle iron, so I usually go with pancakes, but I love the crispiness of waffles!

    It really depends on my mood, but if I have to choose...I'll go with waffles first! Your waffles look amazing! I've never made protein waffles, but I definitely need to try them.

    Very interesting recipe. Super simple. I'm interested in how they would taste. Only one way to find out I guess.

    I tend to prefer pancakes over waffles. I'm not sure why, but that's always been my preference.

    I love both but if I have to choose, waffles. You should share your recipe with the Fit Dish link up so we can add it to the cookbook we're putting together to share. Credit given to the recipe creator of course :)

    I am a pancake lover all the way. In fact we had pancakes for dinner tonight. They are great plain or with add-ins like your protein waffles!
