Two ingredients protein waffles… 2 INGREDIENTS … that’s all you need to make this high protein breakfast! We eat protein waffles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
We practically live on these things. A couple of times a month I seem to have one of those days where no matter how much I want to make dinner (or sometimes don’t even want to think about it), it just isn’t going to happen. Or maybe we just got home from vacation or ate super heavy all week, the list goes on and on. Either way, it’s pretty handy to have something in your pocket that isn’t granola or nachos. Introducing what we call “protein waffles”.
We eat protein waffles for dinner, but we also eat them regularly for breakfast. A healthy breakfast sets the tone for my day and I love getting a lot of protein at breakfast. With this waffles recipeyou get 16 grams of protein in just one waffle.
Okay, don’t blink because you might miss it! For these protein waffles you only need protein powder and eggs. You can use whole eggs or just use egg whites for an even mix Healthier waffle recipe.
What is the best protein powder?
We use many different protein powders and have tried just about everything. Our favorite brand of protein powder for these waffles is Just Ingredients Vanilla Bean. When choosing a protein powder, pay close attention to the sugar. Many protein powders are high in sugar and we don’t want that! The Just Ingredients brand contains only 2 grams of sugar per scoop.
Can other protein flavors be used?
Yes, you can try any flavor or brand you want. We’re always trying new flavors, but vanilla is our favorite.
Can you use the store bought egg whites from a container?
I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why not! That would make this recipe even faster.
How to separate eggs
There are basically two ways to separate the egg white from the yolk. You can use the eggshell itself to separate it, or use your hand like a small colander. Whichever method you use, make sure you have a few clean bowls ready for the egg whites and yolks.
eggshell method
Pat the egg firmly on the side of a bowl and use your thumbs to separate the two halves of the eggshell. Turn the egg over so the yolk stays on one side of the shell and the white can fall into one of the bowls. Move the yolk back and forth between the two halves of the eggshell to separate all the egg white from the yolk.
ATTENTION: When using this method, be careful not to score the yolk on the side of the shell and puncture the yolk. It could drip into the white and contaminate it.
hand method
Beat the egg(s) firmly on the edge of a bowl and pour the whole egg into the bowl. Make sure you pierce the yolk now. Reach into the bowl with a clean hand and gently scoop out the yolk with slightly separated fingers to allow the egg white to slide back into the bowl. Put the yolks in a separate bowl. You can also use a slotted spoon instead of your hand for this method.
When you’re in a tight spot at dinner but still want to eat something healthy that is high in protein and fast and easythis 2 ingredient protein waffles are your answer! They also make a perfect one high protein breakfast!
