Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)

2 tbsp natural peanut butter

2 large eggs

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

Cooking spray or a small amount of butter for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the almond milk, honey or maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

          Grease the Waffle Iron: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of melted butter.

            Cook the Waffles: Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the waffle iron (this varies depending on your waffle maker). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

              Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, additional peanut butter, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

                Store Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, let the waffles cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
