tips to make High Protein Waffles
- Use a non-stick spray or brush your waffle maker with oil to prevent the waffles from sticking.
- For even fluffier waffles, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more milk if it’s too thick, or more flour if it’s too runny.
variation
You can easily change the flavor of your High Protein Waffles. Try using flavored protein powder (like chocolate or vanilla) for a different taste.
