Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Protein Powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 3/4 cups Buttermilk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Melted Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- The Night Before: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, large eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula just until moistened. Do not overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate overnight (8-24 hours). The batter will thicken considerably.
- The Next Morning: Remove the batter from the refrigerator. Gently sprinkle the baking powder over the top. Gently fold it in with a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- While the batter rests for a few minutes, preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly brush or spray the cooking plates with a little oil or non-stick spray.
- Pour or scoop about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot iron, depending on its size. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the steam stops escaping and the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and enjoy them warm with your preferred toppings.
