Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or your preferred sweetener)

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, maple syrup, chopped nuts, or yogurt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure it's ready for the batter.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar until the mixture is well combined and free of lumps.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients vigorously until they form a smooth, creamy mixture.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir the mixture until just combined. Take care not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine and will help ensure your waffles are fluffy.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron—typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your iron. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp to the touch.

            Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and place them on a serving plate. Dress them up with your choice of toppings such as sliced bananas, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, crunchy chopped nuts, or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.

              Leftovers: If you have any leftover waffles, allow them to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage options.

                  - Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, stack the waffles high on a plate and garnish with a sprinkle of nuts and fresh fruit on top. A light dusting of powdered sugar can also add a lovely touch!
