This high protein breakfast is toaster and freezer friendly so that you can batch out a weeks worth of breakfasts in less than an hour.
A HUGE part of my weight loss journey has been my daily protein waffles.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram or YouTube, you’ve seen me rave about this recipe.
Because this recipe is high in protein (each serving has about 28 grams of protein before toppings are added), it’s extremely satiating and helps to prevent hunger or cravings later in the day.
Plus, as a kid I loved waffles, so my Chocolate Chip Protein Waffles helps to satisfy that craving in a much healthier way that also supports my goals.
But the problem is that protein waffles can be kind of time consuming to make every single day. Mixing the ingredients is super simple, but waiting for the waffle iron to preheat and then cleaning the waffle iron after can eat into precious weekday morning time.
I quickly learned that batching my protein waffles on Sundays to have for the entire week saved me so much time and allowed me to still quickly have my delish waffles during the week as well.
So today I’m sharing my Chocolate Chip Protein Waffle recipe that makes 7 servings (14 waffles) so that you can enjoy a super yummy weekday waffle as well!😋
Equipment Needed
- Waffle iron
Storing and Reheating
Allow the protein waffles to cool before stashing them in a freezer safe plastic bag. When ready to eat, just pop a few in the toaster until warmed through and crunchy!
Tips From The Nutritionist

- Invest in a good waffle iron that makes toaster sized waffles. THIS is the one I use. Belgium waffles are yummy, but they don’t fit in the toaster so it’s not a great option for batch and prepped waffles. And trust me on this one… DON’T get the cute little mini waffle iron. It’ll take you HOURS to make all of the waffles needed for a week.
- Use roughly the same sized bananas. Aim for bananas that are about 7-8 inches long. If you use longer bananas, then this could throw off the proportions of the recipe.
- Use a high quality protein powder. Most protein powders are overly sweet, taste too strong or don’t mix well. I developed my zero sugar, pasture-raised protein powder specifically to be used in recipes (like this one!).
- Try zero sugar chocolate chips. This is an easy way to cut down on the sugar content of this meal. I love the brand Lily’s, but you can also use another zero sugar chocolate chip brand of your choice.

Chocolate Chip Protein Waffles (One Week Supply)
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 medium sized bananas about 8 inches long
- 14 scoops Autumn's Vanilla Protein Powder
- 7 eggs
- 14 tablespoons zero sugar dark chocolate chips I like the brand Lily's
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. I like to use a potato masher for this step.
- Add all of the eggs, protein powder and vanilla extract and stir to combine. For this step, a whisk can work, but we've found a large fork does the job the best.
- Spray the waffle iron with avocado oil (or other preferred oil).
- Use a ladle to pour the mixture into the waffle iron. Top each waffle with one tablespoon of chocolate chips.
- Cook according to your waffle iron instructions.
- Allow the waffles to cool before transferring to large freezer friendly plastic bags.
- When ready to eat, pop two waffles into the toaster and top with your favorite low sugar toppings. I love using greek yogurt (or skyr), almond butter and blueberries.
