Dark Chocolate Protein Waffles: Indulgent Weekend Breakfasts - Genetic Nutrition

Dark Chocolate Protein Waffles: Indulgent Weekend Breakfasts

, by Sandesh Prasannakumar, 6 min reading time

We all know the struggle: weekdays require meals that can be prepared quickly, but a weekend needs something more delicious and nutritious. That’s why Dark Chocolate Protein Waffles are perfect – dense and filling with a crispy outside and a super fudgy core. Savour your palates with this protein breakfast which is not only mouthwatering, but also energy-filled as you prepare to engage in your weekend trips and plans.

Why Protein-Rich Weekends Matter

While a balanced diet is important all week, weekends are the time to prioritise protein. Here’s why:

  • Muscle Recovery: After a week of training your muscles need more protein to repair and rebuild.
  • Satiety: Protein keeps you fuller for longer, reduces cravings and helps with overall calorie control.
  • Energy: A protein breakfast gives you energy all morning, whether you’re hitting the gym or the city.

The Protein Power of Genetic Nutrition

Choosing to follow a diet that is on the Genetic Nutrition protein supplement will make it easy for anyone to add protein to a meal and as such, the Dark Chocolate Protein Waffles makes a perfect breakfast after exercise or on a weekend.

Here’s what to look for in a Genetic Nutrition protein powder for this recipe:

  • High-quality Protein Source: That is why it is appropriate to take whey protein isolate or better still whey-casein blend for muscle absorption and digestion.
  • Flavour: For the filling, select something which will go well with the dark chocolate base, this could be vanilla, chocolate or peanut butter.

Additional: Vitamins, minerals, and digestive enzymes are also added in some protein powders to complement your diet. 

Let's Get Cooking: Dark Chocolate Protein Waffles

Now for the fun part – creating these delicious waffles!

Ingredients (Makes 2 servings)

  • 1 scoop Genetic Nutrition Protein Powder (your preferred flavor)
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • ½ cup dairy or non-dairy milk
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup chopped dark chocolate (plus extra for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat your waffle maker up depending on the type of waffle maker you are using; this usually involves setting the knob to the appropriate level.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift the protein powder, oats flour, baking powder, baking soda and add cocoa to the mix.
  3. In a different bowl, combine all the wet ingredients: eaten ingredients that are used in making cheesecake include milk, egg and greek yoghurt.
  4. Pour in the wet ingredients, into the dry mixture and stir the batter, decreasing the use of flour traces on the final spirit. Also, do not forget about one more crucial thing: the dough should be mixed to the proper extent only.
  5. Then gently fold through the pieces of very dark chocolate.
  6. Gently oil your waffle iron with oil and spoon sufficient batter into the Waffle Pan so each section is full but does not overflow.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice (fruit, nuts, more chopped chocolate, whipped cream, etc.)

Tips for Perfect Protein Waffles

  • Don't Overmix - this can lead to tough, dense waffles. Mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Avoid using a non-stick waffle iron. If it isn't non-stick, it should be greased lightly.
  • Toppings: There are no limitations when it comes to toppings, Serve with fresh berries, slices of banana, nuts, nut butter or a little drizzle of maple syrup.

Beyond the Batter: More Protein Waffle Inspiration

  • Sub the Oats: Replace oats with ½ cup almond flour or coconut flour.
  • Fruity Fun: Add in mashed banana, berry or blueberry to the batter.
  • Spice it Up: Then it is recommended to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on your milk of choice to make it tastier.
  • Protein Powder: Revise the directions for use stating that instead of using one scoop of the protein powder, the user should use two scoops.

Conclusion: Fuel Your Weekend with Delicious Protein

Avoid heavy protein intake on working days during breakfast and enjoy the delicious foods on the weekend while focusing on protein. High in protein, fibre, and dark chocolate these will help you to fill up and fuel you for all your weekend plans.
