Ingredients for High Protein Sourdough Discard Waffles:

Wet Ingredients:

• Sourdough discard: ½ cup (120g)

• Milk: 1/3 cup (75g)

• Eggs: 3 large (150g)

• Plain Greek yogurt: ½ cup (120g)

• Honey: 3/4 tbsp (15g)

• Coconut oil: 1 tbsp (14g)

Dry Ingredients:

• Whole wheat flour: 1 cup loosely packed (140g)

• Protein powder: 1 scoop (30g)

• Baking powder: 2 tsp

• Baking soda: ½ tsp

• Salt: ½ tsp

• Cinnamon (optional): 1 tsp

  

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Waffle Iron:   Set your waffle iron to preheat while you prepare the batter.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients:   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, and honey until well combined. Then, stir in the melted coconut oil and mix again until smooth.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients:   Gently fold in the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir just until everything is incorporated—be careful not to overmix.

4. Cook the Waffles:   Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray. Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 6 waffles.

5. Serve and Top:   Serve your waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, peanut butter, jam, or fresh fruit.
   

Notes:

• For a twist, experiment with flavored protein powders or mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.

• Full-fat Greek yogurt adds richness and moisture, while non-fat yogurt provides a lighter option.
