I usually eat them at room temperature with a handful of blueberries, and sometimes I add a little yogurt on the side — it’s such a good combo. I love making a batch before a busy week or an early morning flight. You can pop them in the toaster, add your favorite toppings, and you’re out the door. My Homemade Protein Waffles also travel incredibly well in my tote. I’ve taken these waffles to Barcelona, Dublin, and everywhere in between. They don’t get soggy, they don’t fall apart, and they genuinely taste like a treat you’d order at brunch, not “health food.”

FAQs
Let the waffles cool completely first (so they don’t get soggy). Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They’ll keep for up to 4 days. Freeze up to 3 months.
To reheat: pop them in the toaster or air fryer for a few minutes to crisp up.
There’s a slight aftertaste, depending on the protein powder you use. Some powders have a stronger flavor than others, but it’s usually mild and easy to mask with toppings like maple syrup, yogurt, or fresh fruit.
