Single-Serving Protein Waffles

There’s something quietly joyful about a waffle made just for you — steam curling up, a crisp edge, and a soft, protein-rich interior that feels like a hug after a busy morning. These Single-Serving Protein Waffles are quick, pantry-friendly, and built around a small list of wholesome ingredients. They use REBBL Vanilla Spice protein drink for flavor and protein, almond flour and tapioca starch for a tender crumb, and a handful of blackberries for freshness. The result is a single waffle that’s crispy on the outside, tender within, and perfectly portioned so nothing goes to waste.

Why you’ll love these waffles

• Fast: Ready in about 10 minutes from start to finish.
• Single-serving: Great for solo breakfasts, post-workout fuel, or when you want a little treat without leftovers.
• Protein-forward: The REBBL Vanilla Spice protein drink adds both protein and warm, comforting spice notes.
• Natural sweetness: Coconut sugar and ripe blackberries mean you don’t need a syrup flood to enjoy them.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup blackberries, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein drink
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons almond flour
• 3 tablespoons tapioca starch
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• Pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein drink
• 1 tablespoon almond butter, melted

Notes on ingredients

Measure ingredients precisely for consistent texture. The recipe calls for the REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein drink twice in the ingredient list; use the first portion when combining your wet ingredients and the second portion as directed in the steps below to reach the proper batter consistency. If your almond butter is very thick, warm it slightly so it melts smoothly into the batter. Raspberries, diced strawberries, or chopped dates can stand in for blackberries if needed, keeping the same quantity.

Equipment

• Small bowl for dry ingredients
• Another bowl for wet ingredients
• Whisk or fork
• Spoon or spatula
• Small waffle maker or a well-seasoned mini waffle iron (or a small nonstick skillet if you don’t have a waffle maker)

Step-by-step instructions

Below are clear, ordered steps to make one single-serving waffle. Follow them in sequence for best results.

1. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s directions so it reaches an even cooking temperature. If you’re using a skillet, heat it over medium-low and lightly grease it with a touch of coconut oil.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: 3 tablespoons almond flour, 3 tablespoons tapioca starch, 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk briefly to combine and break up any lumps.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 3 tablespoons REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein drink, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon almond butter, melted. Whisk until the coconut oil and almond butter are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay. If the batter appears very thick, add the remaining 3 tablespoons REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein drink and stir until you reach a scoopable, thick but pourable batter consistency.
5. Fold in 1/2 cup blackberries that have been roughly chopped. Stir gently so the fruit is distributed evenly without crushing all the berries.
6. Lightly brush the preheated waffle iron with a small amount of coconut oil, or spray with a neutral cooking spray. Spoon the batter onto the center of the iron — aim for even coverage but don’t overfill. If using a skillet, spoon the batter into a round shape about 4–5 inches wide and spread gently if needed.
7. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden and crisp at the edges, usually 3–5 minutes depending on your appliance. If using a skillet, cook until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden, then flip carefully and cook the other side until done.
8. Remove the waffle and transfer it to a plate. Let it rest for a minute so the interior sets. Top as desired — a few extra fresh blackberries, a drizzle of nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon are all lovely.

Troubleshooting & tips

• If the batter is too thin: Add a pinch more almond flour or a small extra dusting of tapioca starch, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until it thickens to a scoopable consistency.
• If the waffle sticks to the iron: Make sure your iron is well-preheated and lightly greased. Nonstick irons vary; less batter often helps avoid sticking in smaller irons.
• For a crispier exterior: Let the waffle cook a little longer than you think; a longer cook time at moderate heat encourages a crisper edge without burning.
• To sweeten further: Stir a small amount of maple syrup into the batter or add a light drizzle on top after cooking.

Serving suggestions

Single-Serving Protein Waffles are delicious on their own or dressed up. Try topping with more fresh berries and a dollop of Greek-style yogurt or a smear of almond butter. For a decadent take, warm a little fruit compote and spoon it over the waffle. These waffles also pair nicely with a simple iced coffee or a warm cup of chai for a cozy morning.

Storage

These waffles are best enjoyed immediately, but you can cool any leftovers, wrap them tightly, and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven for a few minutes to revive crispness. The texture will be best the day it’s made, so plan accordingly for optimal enjoyment.

Nutrition and portioning

This recipe yields one satisfying serving that balances protein and carbs while remaining portion-controlled. Exact nutrition values will vary based on the specific REBBL product and almond butter you use; consult package labels for precise numbers if you’re tracking macros.
