Ingredients

1½ cups protein pancake & waffle mix (such as Kodiak)
1 cup liquid egg whites
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
1½ cups plain Greek yogurt
8 oz strawberries, sliced

From your pantry: 1 tbsp oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp maple syrup.

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron and brush or spray it lightly with oil.
Whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, oil and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk in the protein powder until smooth, then stir in the waffle mix and cinnamon just until no dry streaks remain. Let it rest 5 minutes; add a splash of milk if it's too thick to pour.
Pour enough batter to cover about two-thirds of the iron and cook until deep golden and the steam slows, 4 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp of the maple syrup. Toss the strawberries with the rest.
Serve the waffles hot with a big spoonful of yogurt and the strawberries.

Tip: Hold finished waffles in a single layer on a rack in a 200°F oven. Stacking them traps steam and they lose their crunch.
