A Southern chef’s high-protein waffle recipe—crispy, fluffy, and customizable. Perfect for meal prep, quick breakfasts, or post-gym fuel.

Scale

2 scoops (60g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder

2 large eggs

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup rolled oats or oat flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon + pinch of salt

1/4 cup milk of choice

1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly mist with oil spray.

2. Add all ingredients to a blender or bowl and blend until smooth.

3. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the iron without overfilling.

4. Cook for 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp on the edges.

5. Transfer to a cooling rack to stay crisp and repeat with remaining batter.

6. Top with yogurt, berries, or nut butter for extra flavor and protein.

Letting waffles cool on a rack prevents sogginess.

Swap ingredients to suit dietary needs—use flax eggs for vegan, almond flour for low-carb, etc.

A 4-ingredient version uses just protein powder, egg, yogurt, and baking powder.
