If you like waffles and chocolate cake, you're going to love this Double Chocolate Protein Waffle! It has that great waffle texture (a little bit crisp on the outside, doughy inside) with a great chocolate flavor. Perfect with some Chocolate Hazelnut Protein Frosting!

small piece of chocolate protein waffle on a fork in front of the rest of the large waffle — Chocolate Protein Waffles

This protein waffle has no added sweetener, so if you prefer a sweeter chocolate taste, feel free to add a tablespoon of date sugar, agave, or honey.

I often have half a waffle for breakfast or post-workout before I leave for work, and bring the other half with me. These protein waffles travel well (unfrosted) in a ziplock!

Be sure not to overcook your protein waffle, as it will lose the nice waffle-like texture.

Servings large waffle

Ingredients

4 large egg whites 132g
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons whole husk psyllium 10.5g
1 tablespoon cocoa powder 5.6g
3 tablespoons unflavored pea protein powder 21g, or chocolate pea protein
3 tablespoons chocolate rice protein powder 21g
2-3 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon coconut oil to grease waffle iron

Instructions

Mix egg whites with vanilla.
Add psyllium husk. Mix to combine.
Add cacao and protein powders. Mix well.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of water (until you get a batter consistency) and mix well.
Brush waffle iron with coconut oil.
Plug in waffle iron. Let the batter sit while the iron heats up. (This allows the psyllium to thicken the batter.)
When waffle iron is ready, pour batter into iron. Close iron and cook for 5 minutes (timing may vary according to waffle iron).
Top with Chocolate Hazelnut Protein Frosting (not included in macros).
Enjoy!

Notes

A note about substitutions: Instead of using 3 tablespoons each of pea and rice protein, 6 tablespoons of a pea protein blend would also work. I would not recommend other types of protein powder in this recipe.
