Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly coat the waffle iron plates with cooking spray.
Scoop a portion of the batter onto the hot waffle iron (amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, typically about 4-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with remaining batter, ensuring to spray the waffle iron before adding new batter each time.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup, if desired.
