Give your breakfast an amazing protein boost with these waffles. They can be made ahead and frozen. Just reheat for a few minutes in your oven or toaster. If you don't have a waffle maker, see the notes below to use the same batter to make pancakes.

Ingredients

Vanilla whey protein powder

1 scoop(s)

All-purpose flour

¼ cup(s)

Baking soda

½ tsp

Ground cinnamon

1½ tsp, plus extra for garnish

Table salt

1 pinch(es)

Egg

1 large egg(s)

Fat free skim milk

6 Tbsp

Maple syrup

2 tsp

Banana

1 medium, thinly sliced

Raspberries

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a mini waffle maker.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together drink mix, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and maple syrup. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients; gently stir to combine.
  3. Lightly coat preheated waffle maker with nonstick spray. Spoon a scant ½ cup batter onto waffle maker; cover maker and cook waffle until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Set waffle aside, keep warm, and repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Top waffles with banana and raspberries; garnish with cinnamon (if desired).
  5. Serving size: 1 fruit-topped waffle

Notes

If you don't have a waffle maker, make pancakes instead. Puree (or thoroughly mash and combine by hand) 1 ripe banana, 1 beaten egg, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 1 tbsp water. Cook on a hot griddle coated with cooking spray until lightly browned.
