Thanks to Greek yogurt and protein powder, they also pack in extra protein to help keep you satisfied all morning long.
These waffles are perfect for meal prep, weekend brunches, or an easy weekday breakfast the whole family will love.
This recipe makes 6 waffles (3 servings of 2 pancakes each).

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how much protein it packs into each serving without sacrificing flavor or texture. The combination of Greek yogurt and protein powder adds a boost of protein while keeping the waffles soft, tender, and satisfying. Even picky eaters won’t realize they’re getting a more nutritious breakfast because these taste like a treat.
The cinnamon streusel topping is what really makes these waffles special. As the waffles cook, the streusel creates little pockets of sweet cinnamon flavor that taste just like the crumb topping on a classic blueberry muffin. Paired with fresh blueberries in every bite, these waffles feel bakery-worthy while still being made with simple ingredients.

What You Will Need
Waffles
- ¾ cup flour (all-purpose)
- 30g protein powder (I love Truvani. Use the discount code “KATIE10” at Truvani for 10% off your order)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup blueberries (fresh)
Streusel
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup flour (all-purpose)
- ¼ cup brown monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tbsp butter (grass-fed, softened)
How To Make Them
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all streusel ingredients. Use a fork to mix until fine crumbles form. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries. The batter should be thick, but if it seems too thick, add a splash of milk as needed.
- Preheat your waffle maker and lightly spray it with avocado oil spray.
- Pour the batter into the waffle maker, dividing it evenly between waffles. This recipe makes approximately 6 large waffles, so you’ll need to work in batches.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter, then close the waffle maker and cook according to your manufacturer’s instructions.
- Repeat until all waffles are cooked. Serve warm with maple syrup and enjoy.
Tips for Success
Don’t overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
Different brands of Greek yogurt can vary in consistency, so don’t be afraid to add a splash of extra milk if your batter seems too thick.
Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen berries, add them directly from the freezer to prevent excess moisture from affecting the batter.
Be sure to sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter after it has been poured into the waffle maker. This allows it to cook directly into the waffle and creates that signature blueberry muffin flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze, allow the waffles to cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat refrigerated or frozen waffles in the toaster, air fryer, or oven until warmed through and crispy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes. Frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. Add them directly to the batter without thawing first.
What type of protein powder works best?
Vanilla protein powder works especially well because it complements the blueberry muffin flavor, but unflavored protein powder can also be used.
Can I make these without the streusel?
Absolutely. The waffles are delicious on their own, but the streusel adds the classic blueberry muffin flavor and texture.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. These waffles are excellent for meal prep and reheat beautifully throughout the week.
What should I serve with these waffles?
They are delicious with maple syrup, extra Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, or a side of breakfast sausage or eggs for even more protein.
Why Is Consuming Protein Important?
- Protein is nutrient-rich, so it helps you stay fuller longer. You are more likely to eat less when you have high protein meals because you won’t have the munchies!
- It boosts your metabolism & increases fat burning.
- It increases muscles & strength. If you are lifting weights and not eating enough protein, you aren’t going to see much of a difference!
- It lowers your blood pressure.
