A few years ago, I shared my friend Shari’s PROTEIN PANCAKES. This is one of those recipes that I make for several months in a row and then forget about it…and then I start making them again…and then I forget about them. Every time I make them, I think to myself “why don’t I make these more often?”. They’re super easy and really tasty…plus, I can “hide” protein inside and you know me…I’m always aiming to get more protein in my diet.
The other day, I had a nice big carton of blueberries in my fridge, so I decided to pull out my waffle iron, whip up this easy little “recipe”, and add in some blueberries. I made them two days in a row. Once with the bananas and once without. It was delicious both ways. I topped mine with Trader Joe’s lemon curd because I love lemon and blueberry together.
Easy easy!
Enjoy!

Blueberry Protein Waffles
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 3 minutes
- Total Time: 8 minutes
- Yield: 1 waffle 1x
Description
These waffles are super easy, delicious, and a simple way to “hide” protein in your breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
- 1 mashed banana (optional)
- ½ cup quick cooking oats
- a pinch of cinnamon
- a handful of fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- In a small bowl, add in your 2 egg whites, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 mashed banana (optional), ½ cup quick cooking oats, and a big pinch of cinnamon. Once combined, stir in your blueberries.
- Make sure your waffle iron is sprayed with non stick spray and then ladle your batter on and close the lid.
- After a few minutes, your blueberry waffle is finished. Remove carefully and add your favorite topping. I love lemon curd on mine.
Notes
I topped mine with Trader Joe’s lemon curd because I love lemon and blueberry together. Adding the mashed banana is totally optional. You can omit it.

I think I might make these today! I was planning on breakfast for dinner at our house anyway. To confirm there’s no flour or anything? Just the oats? And does this recipe make like 1 big waffle or how many?

That’s correct! We have used both regular and gluten-free oats in this recipe. It makes three little pancakes or one large Belgian waffle.

Another great way to add protein, my friend has blueberry bushes and always shares with me. Thanks for sharing.

These look so good! Do you have a particular protein powder you like?
Mix and Match Mama says
My favorite brand is Clean Simple Eats. The chocolate peanut butter is my FAVORITE!
Tara Pinkston says
Hi Shay! Which waffle iron do you use?
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh gosh, a very old one. It might be from my wedding shower 22+ years ago!

I love melting my lemon curd and adding to waffle/pancake recipes. Can reduce or replace butter with it. So good and add cottage cheese! I blend mine down and my kids never taste it!
