Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 0.5 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure they are mixed evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, egg whites, vanilla extract, protein powder, and apple sauce until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to over-mix.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (typically about 1/2 cup, but check your waffle maker's capacity).
Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve hot with your choice of low-fat toppings, such as fresh berries or Greek yogurt.
