Keto Chocolate Fudge Protein Waffles Recipe | Equip Protein
/I've really been focusing on getting lots of protein this year and, because I follow a keto diet, most of it comes from meat, seafood, poultry, and eggs.
Even though I love a juicy filet or tender chicken breast, there are times I get tired of eating meat.
Protein powder - and these keto-friendly Chocolate Fudge Protein Waffles - to the rescue!
Each waffle has 30 grams of protein and only 1 net gram of carbs. It is a minimalist recipe with just four ingredients and you can mix up and cook a batch in about 15 minutes tops.
Best of all, the Keto Chocolate Fudge Protein Waffles have a crispy crust and fudge-like chocolatey center. Because they are low in carbs and keto-friendly you can enjoy them for a snack, breakfast, or meal any time of the day!

Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Protein Waffles.
This is a simple, 4-ingredient recipe.
The first three ingredients are ones you likely already have on hand:
eggs
baking powder
butter
The only "special ingredient" you need to make the Keto Chocolate Fudge Protein Waffles is chocolate protein powder.
I currently use only Equip brand grass-fed beef isolate protein powder. After 6 months following a carnivore diet, I learned that I am very sensitive to some foods that were a common part of my diet. One of which is whey protein. For me it causes bloating and a gassy tummy which is no fun.
Equip protein powder is not cheap, but it contains only grass-fed beef and clean ingredients. The chocolate variety uses only grass-fed beef, cocoa powder, and stevia extract. There are no chemicals or stabilizers, and it contains whole-food collagen. And no, it does not taste like beef!!
If you have a chocolate protein powder on hand, I encourage you to try a batch using your favorite brand. But know I only tested this recipe with Equip protein. Be sure to choose a chocolate protein powder that tastes good on its own. I've used Premier Chocolate Milkshake and Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate Protein in the past, and they should work well.
Protein powders are not the same.
All protein powders are not the same and your mileage may vary depending on the type of chocolate protein powder you use. I use Equip brand grass-fed beef protein powder and the results are stellar. If you haven’t tried beef protein (because honestly, it sounds gross), know that it tastes just like a chocolate milkshake and NOT like a McDonald’s burger.
Equipment needed to make Keto Chocolate Fudge Protein Waffles.
The only special equipment you'll need for this recipe is a mini waffle maker. Dash makes a great one and it is under $10 on Amazon. Click to see the current price on Amazon.
This recipe makes four mini waffles. When I fell in love with keto and carnivore protein waffle and chaffle recipes I knew I needed to upgrade. I now use a multi-mini waffle maker, also from Dash. Click to see the current price on Amazon. The multi-mini waffle maker in the photo will cook all of the batter (4 mini waffles) at once. It saves about 12 minutes of cook time and I can sit down to a nice hot stack of waffles in just 4 minutes. The multi-mini waffle maker is great if you like to meal prep or batch cook keto waffles or chaffles.
Tips for making Keto Chocolate Fudge Protein Waffles.
Preheat the waffle maker.
Allow the batter to rest while the waffle maker is preheating.
Generously spray the waffle maker with avocado oil or coconut oil spray (or brush with oil) or the waffles will stick.
Waffles will bake in 3-4 minutes. Check at 3 minutes. They should be lightly browned on the outside with a fudge-like texture on the inside. So good!
Try the single recipe first. If you love it as much as I do, make a double batch next time and pop some in the freezer for a quick meal or snack.
