Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, maple syrup, chopped nuts, or yogurt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

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

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the almond milk, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy for fluffy waffles.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a plate. Top with your favorite toppings — sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, chopped nuts, or a dollop of yogurt work perfectly.

              Leftovers: If you have leftovers, let the waffles cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
