Ingredients

Protein Waffle Batter

  • 1 batch protein waffle batter

Natural Colorings

  • 1-2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons butterfly pea flower powder

Instructions

  1. Prep the batter: Divide your prepared protein waffle batter evenly into two separate bowls to prepare for coloring.
  2. Add green color: To the first bowl, stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of matcha powder until the batter is vibrantly green.
  3. Add blue color: To the second bowl, mix in 1 to 2 teaspoons of butterfly pea powder until the batter turns a bright blue shade.
  4. Preheat and oil waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron and lightly oil it to prevent sticking and ensure crisp waffles.
  5. Create swirl pattern and cook: Pour 1 tablespoon of batter at a time into the waffle iron, alternating between the green and blue batters to create a beautiful swirl pattern. Fill the waffle iron completely and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Repeat: Cook remaining batter in batches following the same swirling pattern and cooking process.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of matcha and butterfly pea powder to achieve your desired color intensity.
  • You can use any protein waffle batter recipe you prefer or a pre-made mix for convenience.
  • Make sure your waffle iron is well-oiled to prevent sticking and to get crispy edges.
  • Serve waffles warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
  • Butterfly pea powder has a mild earthy flavor that pairs well with the subtle bitterness of matcha.
