Cook ModePrevents the screen from getting dark
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt and almond butter until smooth.
Whisk with protein powder until a thin stream batter forms.
Warm the mini waffle iron until it’s hot piping. Spray avocado oil on the iron plate to prevent the waffle from sticking to it.
Fill the batter onto a mini waffle iron (1/4 of the batter makes one waffle).
Bake the waffles for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
Repeat the waffle iron with grease and bake the waffles until all batters are cooked. The recipe makes four waffles.
Note 2: Use full fat Greek yogurt to avoid dry waffles. If you like, you can use flavored yogurt.
Note 3: Or peanut butter for nut-free options, or sunflower seed butter.
Note 4: I use pea protein powder, but other options may affect the texture of the waffle.
Storage: Store waffles in the fridge for up to 4 days, place in an airtight container, and freeze in a Ziploc bag for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge the day before
Serving: Add protein to breakfast, add Greek yogurt, hemp seeds and berries.

Ingredients and alternatives
You only need four ingredients to make these delicious, high protein waffles. Here’s how to choose and replace them:
Greek Yogurt – This adds moisture and protein. Full Fat Greek yogurt prevents the waffles from drying out. Flavored yogurt adds flavor and flavour to the waffles. Almond Butter – This adds richness and healthy fats. Peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (for nut-free options) also work. Vanilla Protein Powder – This increases protein content and adds flavor. Pea protein powder works well, but other types change the texture. Eggs – These combine ingredients and provide structure to the waffle. Big eggs give you the best results.

Carine’s tips
Let me share some tips for the perfect waffle.
Avoid excessive baking – be careful not to overcover the waffles as protein powders can dry them. Protein-Stuffed Toppings – Serve waffles with Greek yogurt to provide extra protein and berries for increased anti-inflammatory properties. Meal Prep Magic – Double (or triple) recipes and freeze waffles for a simple, healthy protein breakfast. Full Fat Yogurt Advantage – Moisten the waffles using full fat Greek yogurt. Grease iron – Spray avocado oil on waffle iron to prevent it from sticking. Thin batters are important – aim for thin, watery batters for the best waffle texture. Consistent Baking – Bake each waffle for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Storage – Store remaining waffles in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Nut-Free Alternatives – Sunflower Seed Butter serves as a great nut-free alternative to almond or peanut butter.
