Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 scoops protein powder (vanilla flavor)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons optional sweetener like maple syrup or honey
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a blender, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Blend on medium speed until the mixture resembles a fine flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and oil until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the blender into the wet ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. If you'd like added sweetness, stir in your chosen sweetener.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little additional oil. Pour or scoop the recommended amount of batter per the manufacturer's guidance into the center of the waffle iron, closing the lid promptly.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Remove carefully and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of syrup.
