Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a blender, add the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine flour consistency.
Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, almond milk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir using a spatula until everything is well combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
Lightly coat the waffle iron plates with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron's instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and set.
Carefully remove the waffles using a spatula and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a light drizzle of additional maple syrup.
