Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- 39 grams Protein powder
- 1 large Egg
- 3 Tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream (45g)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- Butter (optional)
- Sugar-free syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron on medium heat and spray both plates thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. A mini dash waffle maker is recommended as it produces waffles similar in size and texture to Eggo waffles.
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed. Add the egg and Greek yogurt or sour cream, then stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Cook the waffle: Using a ladle or cup, pour the batter into the center of the bottom plate of the waffle maker, filling about three-quarters of the plate. Close the top plate; the pressure will help spread the batter evenly across the waffle iron.
- Check doneness: Cook the waffle thoroughly. If the waffle splits when you try to open the iron, it needs to cook longer. For a crispier texture, leave the waffle cooking a little past the indicator light turning off.
- Serve: Remove the waffle carefully and serve warm. Top with butter and sugar-free syrup or your favorite toppings for added flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- Use a mini dash waffle maker for best results to achieve Eggo-like waffles.
- Ensure the waffle is fully cooked before removing to prevent breakage.
- For extra crispiness, extend cooking time slightly beyond the indicator light.
- You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if preferred.
- Serve with low-calorie or sugar-free toppings to keep the dish healthy.
