Crispy, crunchy LEMON BLUEBERRY WAFFLES.
Speaking of the tip of things, I can still taste each fruity-fresh, naturally-sweet burst of juicy blueberries mingling with tart and tangy lemon, and EXPLODING out of these protein paleo waffles into my hungry mouth.
So, lemon and blueberry. You remember the blueberry gluten free pancakes with quinoa and lemon? It’s one of the most magical flavor combinations in the sense that the sweet, fresh blueberries are balanced out in the E-P-I-T-O-M-E of perfect food marriages with the tangy, sour lemon juice. Don’t worry, honey glides it sticky-sweet self in to prevent TOO much tanginess from invading the general space of your mouth, ending in sour-puckery-faced you. This is not a good look on anyone.

Which is why the insane amount of protein that this easy protein waffle recipe is power-packin’? SO NECESSARY TO LIFE.
FAQs & Tips
how to store blueberry paleo protein waffles?
Once cooled down, you can freeze your waffle and keep them for up to 3 months. You can simply use a toaster to defrost and reheat them. They will get perfectly crispy!
You can also keep waffle in the fridge but they won’t hold very long so I always recommend freezing them instead.
how thick should the batter be?
The amount of almond milk you use will G-R-E-A-T-L-Y depend on how thick or thin your protein powder is. You want the batter for these high protein waffles to not really be a batter.
You’re confused.
You want it to be more like a slightly thinner cookie dough that you actually have to SPREAD into the waffle maker. No pouring. We ain’t making no pancakes peeps. You MAY need to make these a few times before you get the consistency right. Which means you need to eat more. How tragic. *sarcastic face*
how long should i cook these waffles?
You’re 99% most likely going to have to cook these longer than when that magical “YAY-food-is-ready” green light appears on your waffle maker. I had to let my waffles cook a good 2-3 minutes past the “done” to allow them to reach their peak of crispety-crunchety, light-as-air protein waffle AWESOMENESS.

Recipe
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 2 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 4 tsp Honey
For the waffles:
- 1 Scoop Vanilla grass-fed protein powder (35g)
- 2 tsp Coconut flour
- 2 tsp Coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 1 Large egg
- 3-5 Tbsp Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp Fresh blueberries lightly heaping
Instructions
- Whisk together the lemon juice and honey in a medium, microwave safe bowl until well combined. Microwave until reduced by about half, darkens in color, and the mixture begins to stop bubbling, about 2-2 1/2 minutes. Watch closely while it microwaves, if you over-cook it you will have hard taffy, not syrup. Place into the refrigerator to chill and thicken while you make the waffles.
- Rub a waffle iron with coconut oil and heat on the highest setting.
- In a small bowl whisk the protein powder, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Lightly whisk the egg and add it in, along with the milk and lemon zest and whisk until smooth. Adjust the milk accordingly (as per notes)
- Spoon the batter into the middle of the waffle iron, spreading out only slightly and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Drizzle with the thickened lemon syrup and DEVOUR!
