Description
These Protein Waffles are crisp on the outside, tender inside, and naturally high in protein thanks to blended oats, plant based protein powder, and creamy Greek yogurt. They make a balanced and satisfying breakfast that is easy to prepare and customizable with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup plant based vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon alcohol free vanilla flavor such as Alcohol Free Simply Organic or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor
Oil, butter, or cooking spray for the waffle iron
Toppings such as maple syrup, fruit, chocolate chips, or nut butter
Instructions
1. Blend the rolled oats in a blender until they resemble fine flour.
2. Combine the oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
3. Whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, and alcohol free vanilla flavor in a separate bowl.
4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined, then let the batter rest for five minutes to thicken.
5. Preheat the waffle iron and lightly coat it with oil or cooking spray.
6. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden and crisp.
7. Remove carefully and top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, nut butter, or chocolate chips.
Notes
Use a thicker plant based protein powder for best texture. A powder like Orgain works well because it helps the batter hold structure.
If the batter becomes too thick, add a small spoonful of yogurt. If it is too thin, add a bit more blended oats.
Blend the oats thoroughly to ensure a smooth waffle texture.
These waffles store well and can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
