Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the eggs, and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little coconut oil.
Pour enough batter onto the center of the waffle iron to just cover the surface. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, extra maple syrup, or nut butter.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring you grease the waffle iron between batches to prevent sticking.
