These Single-Serving Protein Waffles are easy to make and even easier to enjoy for the perfect solo mealtime experience!
When I was younger, I always imagined the day when I would finally get my own apartment. After growing up with three younger siblings, let’s just say that peace and quiet always felt like a far-off dream. When I finally moved into my first studio apartment, I was overjoyed—until I tried to cook my first meal, that is. It turns out that cooking for one can be a considerable challenge when you’re used to prepping meals in bigger batches! That’s why I’ve spent years researching and developing single-serving versions of some of my favorite recipes.
These single-serving protein waffles are one of the most delectable recipes I have made so far. The almond flour lends a nutty lightness to the waffles, which are sweetened naturally with coconut sugar. The rich tones of cinnamon and allspice elevate the flavor profile of these waffles with a nod to winter holidays. Each waffle is topped with a warm and comforting blackberry sauce flavored with just a hint of vanilla spice.
Are you searching for that perfect recipe for a breakfast party of one? These single-serving waffles deliver on both flavor and protein content, making them an excellent choice for a quick weekend breakfast at home. If you’re looking for a standout recipe that you can prepare for a single mealtime adventure, then you’ve come to the right place!
How to make a DIY waffle bar
While I love preparing these waffles for a solo breakfast, this recipe also works great as part of a DIY waffle bar. To prepare your waffle bar, I recommend arranging a variety of different toppings ahead of time. To add a little sweetness to your morning, I would recommend toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and syrups of your choosing. If you’d like to get a little nutty, you could also set out sides of peanut butter, almond butter, or even Nutella. Looking to add a little crunch to your waffle bar? Toasted coconut flakes, rainbow sprinkles, granola, and chopped nuts are all fun topping ideas that lend a satisfactory crunch to each bite. Finally, I also suggest incorporating some savory sides to your waffle bar. You could set out trays with bacon, breakfast sausages, or even shredded cheese. Feel free to play around with different waffle bar toppings until you find the combo that works best for you!
How do I store leftovers?
This recipe serves one, but if you do happen to find yourself with any leftovers or want to make more for the rest of the week, I recommend storing the waffles separately from the blackberry sauce. You can store your waffles in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze leftover waffles for up to 2 months, but you may want to place a piece of parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. To store your leftover sauce, transfer it to an airtight container. You can keep your leftover sauce in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Serving suggestions
You can absolutely enjoy these single-serving protein waffles on their own. But one of my favorite parts of this recipe is how well it pairs with a range of other dishes. For an added protein boost, you could pair the waffles with a side of Cheesy Scrambled Eggs or Air-Fryer Breakfast Sausage. For a quick pairing that you can take on the go, I also suggest enjoying your protein waffles with a fresh smoothie. A Blueberry-Banana Smoothie, Kiwi Smoothie, or Blueberry-Spinach Smoothie would all pair nicely with your single-serving protein waffles.
Ingredients
For The Sauce:
- 1/2 cup blackberries roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein drink
For The Waffles:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 3 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- Pinch of salt

- 1 tablespoon almond butter melted
Instructions
- In a small pot set over medium heat, combine the blackberries and REBBL protein. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Mash the berries, leaving some a little chunky for texture, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a thick sauce. Transfer to a small bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Rub a waffle iron with coconut oil and heat to the highest setting.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Add in the REBBL protein and almond butter and whisk until smooth. Your batter will be a little thicker than normal waffles.
- Drop the batter in the center of the waffle iron and spread out just a little bit. Firmly close the waffle iron and cook until crispy.
- Serve the waffles with the blackberry sauce and enjoy!
