Ingredients (2 servings)
MetricImperial
2 large eggs
125g lupin flour
30g protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
240g unsweetened milk
3 tbsp monk fruit erythritol
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)
-Fresh strawberries
-Whipped cream
Separate eggs
- Grab a large bowl and make sure it is clean and grease free.
- Separate 2 egg whites into the large bowl, and 2 egg yolks in a smaller bowl. Pop the egg white bowl in the freezer for about 15 mins.
Prepare flour mixture
- Melt butter in a microwave.
- Add butter, milk and vanilla extract into the bowl with 2 egg yolks.
- Add sifted flour, protein powder, baking powder and cinnamon powder to the bowl and mix well. Don't overmix it.
- Set aside.
Beat Meringue
- Take the bowl from the freezer.
- Add salt to the mixture.
- Now beat the egg white mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 secs until it turns frothy.
- Then slowly add your sweetener in thirds and turn on your electric mixer to the highest speed.
- Beat the egg whites until it's smooth and glossy. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. It will take about 3 minutes. Make sure to not overbeat it.
- Now fold the meringue into the flour mixture in thirds. Mix well but do not overmix it
Making waffles
- Grease your waffle maker/griddle with some oil.
- Follow the instructions of your waffle maker. Adjust your waffle maker based on how brown and crispy you want your waffles to be.
- Wait for it to be preheated then add one scoop of the batter to each slot of your waffle maker. If you have a small waffle maker, then make one at a time. Waffles are tasty even when they're cooled.
- It takes about 4 mins for my waffle maker and it's done!
- Add your favourite toppings, fruits and cream. Dust it with some powdered sugar-free sweetener and enjoy!
Notes
- Lupin flour is really high in protein compared to other flours, which makes this a high protein waffle recipe.
- If you don't have lupin flour, you can replace it with other flours such as chickpea flour (which is quite high in protein) or you could use regular gluten-free flour.
- You may need to add a bit more milk if your protein powder absorbs more liquid.
- You can use plant based proteins or whey protein. Some protein powder can be gritty and grainy which creates drier and grainy waffles instead of soft and fluffy waffles.
- You can use regular caster sugar if you don't have zero-calorie sugar-free sweetener.
- You can omit creams and have it plain with berries. You can add more powdered sweetener or fruits instead.
- This recipe makes about 8 waffles.
- You can use plant based milk or dairy milk
