Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup whey protein powder (chocolate flavor preferred)
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients slowly, stirring continuously, until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Gently fold in the melted butter until fully incorporated into the batter.

Step 6

Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour a suitable amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (check your waffle iron's capacity to avoid overflow).

Step 8

Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the waffles are cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.

Step 9

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve the waffles warm, optionally topping with your favorite fruits, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
