High-protein Waffle Recipe


Looking for a breakfast that’s both tasty and keeps you full? Try these healthy protein waffles made with protein powder, oats, eggs, and Greek yogurt. They’re super easy to whip up and pack a punch with 33 grams of protein and complex carbs, making them a satisfying and well-balanced meal.

I know you love my Rice Pancakes and Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes, so I had to create a waffle version. These waffles aren’t just delicious—they keep you fuller for longer than 15 minutes! Give them a try, and they might just become your new favorite breakfast choice!

Why You’ll Love These Waffles

  • Protein-Packed and Satisfying: Each waffle boasts about 17 grams of protein, keeping you full and satisfied for hours.
  • Effortless to Prepare: Simply blend all the ingredients, let your waffle iron work its magic, and enjoy!
  • Ideal for Meal Prep: Make a double or triple batch on the weekend, then refrigerate or freeze for quick and healthy breakfasts throughout the week.

Topping Variations You Must Try!

Topping Variations You Must Try!

  • Berries: Fold berries into your batter or top the waffles with fresh ones for a burst of color and flavor.
  • Chocolate Chips: Stir in chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness. Try Lily’s dark chocolate chips for a dairy-free, low-sugar option!
  • Chocolate Protein Powder: Swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate to make rich and chocolaty waffles.
  • Nut Butter: Add a drizzle of almond butter for a nutty kick, and don’t forget the maple syrup!
  • Coconut Butter: For a touch of indulgence, drizzle on some coconut butter along with nut butter. You can even make your own coconut butter—check out my recipe!
  • Maple Syrup: A classic topping for waffles. My husband swears by bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup for extra depth of flavor.
  • Chopped Nuts: Add crunch with chopped pecans, walnuts, or any of your favorite nuts.
  • Granola: Top with granola for a satisfying crunch. Try hemp granola or grain-free granola for something extra special!
