Helpful tips

• Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be just combined for the fluffiest result.
• Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• For best results, use a non-stick spray to help with easy release.

Optional variations

• Try adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
• You can substitute different types of protein powder based on your preference.
• Mix in some chocolate chips or berries into the batter for a sweet surprise.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
Yes, you can use 4 large eggs instead of egg whites. This will give you a richer flavor and a slight change in texture.

What type of milk can I use?
You can use any type of milk you prefer! Dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk are all great options.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to use the batter immediately after mixing for the fluffiest waffles, but you can prepare your dry and wet ingredients separately in advance to save time in the morning. Just mix them right before cooking!
