Oreo Protein Waffle Tacos

1.) Add dry pancake mix to a bowl and mix. Add egg whites and mix. Add cold water and mix to yield a  thick batter consistency that falls off the spoon but is not too runny.

2.) Preheat mini waffle makers (I use Dash Mini Waffle Makers and have two to save time!). Once preheated, spray with non stick cooking spray and spread some batter to the middle of the waffle maker. Spread around with a spoon until the batter covers all the waffle maker. Close waffle maker and cook for 1-2 minutes. Err on the side of undercooked. They should be cooked but not crispy because they won’t fold into taco if they are too crispy!

3.) When removing the waffles from the waffle makers, be sure to fold the waffles right away to help them hold that shape. The bowl that the batter was in will work. Repeat this process for all 7 of the waffles and then let cool on a cooling rack.

4.) While cooling, add the dry protein frosting ingredients into a bowl and mix. Slowly add cold water and mix until there is a thick frosting like consistency. Add greek yogurt and mix. Place in the freezer to cool.

5.) Once waffles are cool, add the frosting to the middle of each waffle and press into the shape of a taco. Add crushed oreos on top and place in the freezer to help set for about 30 minutes (totally optional!). Then enjoy!

Pro tips:

– You can sub a 1:1 ratio of protein powder to pancake mix. Just be careful that it will have them turn out a bit more dry than if using a pancake mix exclusively.
