Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ripe Banana
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a blender, combine the rolled oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend on high until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract; whisk until well combined.
Pour the blended dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and there are no clumps.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray and pour an appropriate amount of batter (according to your waffle iron's instructions) onto the heated surface.
Close the waffle iron and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron, and repeat with the remaining batter to make approximately four waffles.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or nut butter for additional flavor and nutrients.
