Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop (25 grams) plant-based vanilla protein powder (I used Nuzest)
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Other
- Cooking spray (coconut or avocado oil spray recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine all the wet and dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Cook Waffles: Pour a scant ½ cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. Top with maple syrup, nut butter, or your favorite toppings as desired.
Notes
- Using a high-powered blender ensures a smooth batter without large oat pieces.
- Cooking spray with coconut or avocado oil adds healthy fats and prevents sticking.
- For fluffier waffles, do not overfill the waffle iron and avoid opening it too early during cooking.
- These waffles can be frozen and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
- Use plant-based protein powder to keep this recipe vegan-friendly.
