Double Chocolate Protein Waffle

Prot: 47 g, Carbs: 18 g, Fat: 5 g, Cal: 301

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!

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. I use this awesome space-saving waffle maker, and 5 minutes is the perfect cook time.

The recipe and macros below are for just the waffle. For one Double Chocolate Protein Waffle and one serving of Chocolate Hazelnut Protein Frosting, you’d have: Prot: 71 g, Carbs: 25g (15g fiber, 4g sugar), Fat: 14 g, Cal: 508.

Enjoy!

Makes one waffle.

Ingredients

4 large egg whites (132g)
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1½ tablespoons whole husk psyllium (10.5g)
1 tablespoon cacao powder (or cocoa powder) (5.6g)
3 tablespoons unflavored pea protein (21g)
3 tablespoons natural chocolate rice protein powder (21g)
2-3 tablespoons filtered 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: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe.
