Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop (30g) Vanilla or Whey Protein Powder
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats (blended into flour)
- 1/2 cup Liquid egg whites
- 1/4 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron to a medium-high setting. Allowing it to get fully hot before adding the batter ensures that your waffles will have a nice crisp on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
- Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mixing the dry ingredients first helps prevent clumps and ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
- Step 3: Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add the liquid egg whites, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir everything together until a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Step 4: Let the Batter Rest: Let the batter sit for about 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the oats to hydrate and the baking powder to activate, which results in a much fluffier waffle.
- Step 5: Cook the Waffles: Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour half of the batter onto the center of the iron and close the lid. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the steam stops escaping and the waffle is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
