My Go-To Protein Waffle Recipe

Waffle Warning: You’re About to Be Obsessed

If you’ve been riding the sourdough train like I have, you know the discard starts piling up fast. I’ve been playing around with all kinds of ways to use it, and these sourdough waffles? Total win. They’re golden, crisp and they’re secretly packed with protein, so they actually keep you full (a major morning win). Bonus: my kiddos are just obsessed with these as I am. So if you’ve got some discard hanging out in the fridge, it’s waffle time!

You’ll need:

2 cups sourdough discard
2 scoops MTN OPS protein powder (I use their vanilla flavor)
6 eggs
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
1/4 cup or more of milk (I add this slowly to get my desired consistency)

Directions:

Blend everything together BESIDES the milk, then slowly add the milk to get your desired consistency for your waffle batter
Pour onto your waffle iron (this is my go-to waffle iron)
Cool on a cooling rack
Serve immediately with all the toppings OR let it cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge to enjoy all week.

Hot Tips:

My favorite toppings are plain Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and maple syrup! Some other fan favorites are chocolate chips or your favorite nut butter.

These are also the perfect thing to make ahead for a quick and easy breakfast (which is a mom win)! To reheat from the fridge just throw them in the toaster for the ultimate reheating experience.
