Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 as needed cooking spray or extra melted butter, for waffle iron
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Do not over-mix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Step 5
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Lightly coat your waffle iron with cooking spray or brush on some melted butter to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
