Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

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

2 tbsp peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 large egg

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Cooking spray or additional peanut butter for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If it requires greasing, lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush with a little peanut butter.

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

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, egg, honey (or maple syrup), peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

        Blend Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate for extra fluffiness.

          Cook the Waffles: Carefully pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, following the manufacturer's instructions for portion size. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes (or until the indicator light signals that they're done).

            Serve Warm: Once done, remove the waffles gently from the iron. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh bananas, berries, additional peanut butter, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

              Enjoy Your Creation! Dig into your delicious, fluffy peanut butter protein waffles for a hearty breakfast or snack that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
