In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vegan protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, maple syrup, coconut oil, and mashed banana until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once ready, lightly grease the waffle iron with additional coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Pour sufficient batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. The exact time will depend on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, additional maple syrup, nuts, or dairy-free yogurt.
