Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the vanilla protein powder and cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the eggs. Mix until well blended.
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop. Slowly pour the melted coconut oil into the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to incorporate it well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a little coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, ensuring to spread the batter evenly over the surface. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, typically 3-5 minutes depending on the waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free protein waffles with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
