Can I use plant-based protein powder?

Absolutely! Though fair warning - plant proteins don't crisp up quite like whey. Pea protein gives decent results if you add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients. The texture will be slightly softer but still delicious!

How do I make these protein waffles vegan?

Easy peasy! Swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water), use plant protein powder, and dairy-free yogurt. I love coconut yogurt here - it adds lovely richness!

Why are my protein waffles soggy?

The three usual culprits: 1) Not letting your waffle iron get screaming hot first, 2) Stacking waffles while warm (single layer is key!), or 3) Measuring flour wrong (always spoon-and-level!). My golden rule? If your first waffle isn't crispy, wait longer between batches.

Can I make the batter ahead?

Ooh good question! The batter thickens as it sits thanks to the protein powder. I recommend mixing dry and wet separately, then combining right before cooking. Though leftover cooked waffles freeze beautifully!
