Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Peanut butter (creamy, no sugar added; or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil (melted; or melted butter)
  • 3 large Eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Whey protein isolate (for crispiest results)
  • 1/4 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the whey protein isolate, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, baking powder, and sea salt to the blender. Blend again until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture.
  3. Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Spray the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Waffles: Pour or transfer the batter evenly into the preheated waffle iron. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes or until there is almost no steam coming from the waffle maker, indicating the waffles are done.
  5. Cool and Crisp: Remove the waffles from the waffle iron and let them cool for a few minutes. As they cool from hot to warm, the outside crisps up while the inside texture improves, yielding a perfect protein-packed waffle.

Notes

  • Use creamier peanut butter for the best blending and texture.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Whey protein isolate is recommended for the crispiest texture; other protein powders may alter texture.
  • Allow waffles to cool slightly to enhance crispiness.
  • This recipe makes about 3-4 waffles depending on your waffle maker size.
  • Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator and reheat for a crispy finish.
