FAQs
Can I use any type of protein powder for these waffles?
Yes, most protein powders work well, but whey or plant-based powders are commonly used. Adjust the liquid as needed depending on the powder’s absorption.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to use the batter immediately for fluffier waffles, but you can refrigerate it for up to 12 hours if needed. Stir gently before cooking.
