How to Make Whole Wheat Buttermilk Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter to the whisked eggs. Mix well.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. If the batter is too thick, add 1/4 cup milk (optional, especially if using a hand mixer). The batter should be pourable but not runny.
  6. Add 1 scoop of protein powder (optional). Stir gently to combine.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
