These fluffy Protein Waffles are made with protein powder, oat flour, almond flour and Greek yogurt<\/strong>, to pack a HUGE punch of protein first thing in the morning! Plus, they’re easily made gluten-free too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Baking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been trying to up my protein intake lately.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve shared a couple fun breakfast recipes with protein powder like gluten-free Chocolate Protein Donuts<\/a> and Healthy Pumpkin Protein Muffins<\/a>. But, I’ve also been sneaking protein powder into recipes like my classic Pancakes and other muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It usually works pretty well if you replace just a little flour with protein powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Protein Waffles are a great example of that. Based on my Healthy Oat Waffles<\/a>, with a few twists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I’ve added protein powder and almond flour, upping the protein content by quite a bit.<\/strong> One full waffle has roughly 27 grams of protein!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, my kids love this recipe<\/strong>, so I’ve been making them over and over again. Reheat them in the toaster and they get extra crispy (which my kids go crazy for!). I swear they’re even better the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which means these are great for meal prep<\/strong>. Easy enough to make on the weekened, and continue to reheat the rest of the week ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Protein Waffles are thick, fluffy, and totally irresistible with whatever toppings<\/strong> you like best. I love to add peanut butter and banana to mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are you waiting for?! Let’s get to making an easy, protein packed breakfast that everyone will love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk about the waffle ingredients.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GREEK YOGURT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you’ll use plain Greek yogurt in these. <\/strong>Alternatively, you can use vanilla Greek yogurt (but then you should omit or reduce the added 1 teaspoon of vanilla in the batter). I highly recommend sticking to Greek yogurt over regular yogurt; it’s higher in protein and thicker so the texture of the waffles will be even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FLOURS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use a blend of oat and almond flour<\/strong> to make these Protein Waffles start with healthy carbs. They’ll both keep you full and give you even more protein. Plus, the combination of the two give these waffles a great texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make these waffles gluten-free,<\/strong> simply use an oat flour<\/a> that is certified gluten-free. That’s it! That’s the way I make them, for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROTEIN POWDER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use your favorite protein powder here. But, I do recommend using one that is well-reviewed and recommended for baking with. Some bake up better than others. I like to go to Amazon and read the reviews of how other people have used their protein powders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite protein powders are Orgain Simple<\/a> or Orgain Organic Protein Powder<\/a>. They’re both easy to order off amazon, affordable, gluten-free, and bake well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, these Protein Waffles are made with pretty simple ingredients. They’re all staples, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
