How to make Protein Waffles with Pancake Mix
Making protein waffles with Pancake Mix is super easy, and here’s some pointers to get them perfect!
- Whisk the egg whites until frothy and fluffy.
Use a hand mixer if you have one!
- Add egg whites and milk to pancake mix and gently fold to combine.
Don’t over-mix; the batter will be thick. Some small lumps are okay.
- Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray and scoop out about ⅓ cup batter in the middle; No need to spread it.
- Close and let cook for 3½ minutes!
Tips for Protein Pancake Mix Waffles
These protein pancake mix waffles are super easy to make, but here’s some pointers to get it perfect!
- Don’t over-mix the batter, or too much gluten will form because of the whole wheat flour (especially if you use extra flour) and waffles will be dense.
- Grease the waffle iron between each use. If not, the waffles will stick to the iron – this happened to me.
- Scoop out the mixture into the middle of the iron and close. The batter will spread.
- Do not use too much batter – it will spread and rise a lot and will over-flow the iron or stick to the edges.
- Let it cook for exactly 3½ minutes. Too soon and they will stick to the iron on both sides – also happened to me.
Storing Waffles made with Pancake Batter
- Fridge: Keep them in an airtight container, and they should last about 3-4 days.
- Freezer: Stack pancake batter waffles with parchment paper pieces in between and place them in freezer-safe zipper bags. They should last about a month!
