Can I make Protein Waffles without protein powder?

Yes! If you prefer not to use protein powder, you can simply increase the flour to half a cup to keep the texture of the waffles intact. While they won't have the same protein boost as the original recipe, they will still offer more than 2 grams of protein per waffle.

Are these Protein Waffles gluten-free?

You can make these protein waffles gluten-free by swapping out regular flour for gluten-free all-purpose flour. Bob's Red Mill or similar brands work well for this recipe. Keep in mind that using different flours may slightly change the texture of the waffles.

Can I make Protein Waffles vegan?

Absolutely! To make vegan protein waffles, simply substitute the egg whites with additional water or a flax egg. Ensure you use plant-based yogurt, like coconut or almond yogurt, and choose a plant-based protein powder to keep the recipe fully vegan.

How can I store leftover Protein Waffles?

Leftover protein waffles can be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the waffles by placing parchment paper between each one and storing them in a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to enjoy, toast them for a crispy texture.
