High-Protein Vanilla Waffles with Fresh Strawberries

Ingredients

• 201g Egg
• 68g Egg white
• 80g Whole wheat flour
• 40g Whole grain oat flour
• 117g Greek yogurt, plain, nonfat
• 150g Raw strawberries

Method

1. 1Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C). Lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. 2In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 whole eggs and 2 egg whites until fully combined and slightly frothy (about 1 minute). This creates air for fluffier waffles.
3. 3Add the 117g Greek yogurt plain nonfat to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth and well incorporated. The yogurt adds creaminess and extra protein.
4. 4In a separate bowl, combine the 80g whole wheat flour and 40g whole grain oat flour. Mix well to break up any clumps.
5. 5Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix—a few small lumps are fine and will result in a better texture. If the batter seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
6. 6Pour approximately 150-180ml (about 2/3 cup) of batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside. The waffles should be firm enough to handle without breaking.
7. 7Carefully remove the waffles using a fork or wooden stick. Place on a plate and repeat with remaining batter to make 2-3 waffles depending on your waffle iron size.
8. 8While the last waffle cooks, rinse and pat dry the 150g fresh strawberries. Slice them in half lengthwise.
9. 9Top the warm waffles with the sliced strawberries. Serve immediately while the waffles are still crispy.
10. 10Optional: Add a small drizzle of honey or sugar-free syrup if desired for extra sweetness, though the strawberries provide natural sweetness.
