Instructions
- Mix 1 apple, ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 cup protein pancake mix, and 3 eggs together in a bowl. Heat your waffle iron up to medium (for mine that's 3). Spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray if needed.
- Spray your iron with non-stick spray. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the waffles (⅓ cup of batter for each spot). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the batter before pushing down the lid. See video for visual example.
- Push down the lid and cook until the waffle iron light turns off. Use some batter as a test if desired.
- Remove from the waffle iron carefully using a fork to pry it free, then repeat until all 4 waffles have been made.

Notes
expert tips
- Medium heat is the move. On my iron that's a 3.
- Use an ice cream scoop for even ⅓ cup portions.
- Do a test waffle to dial in your iron.
- Pry gently with a fork. Spray the iron first if yours tends to stick.
- Fridge: cool completely, airtight container, about 4 days.
- Freezer: layer with parchment or flash freeze, then bag.
- Reheating: toaster from frozen for crispy edges, or microwave 30 seconds to 1 minute.
