Description
Delicious and nutritious protein-packed waffles for a perfect start to your day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: splash of vanilla extract or toppings like nut butter, fruit, or maple syrup substitute
Instructions
- Blend Everything Together: Start by adding all your ingredients to a blender. The oats, egg, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt should go in all at once. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. It should have a pourable batter consistency—thicker than pancake batter, but not too thick that it won’t spread in the waffle iron.
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: While the batter rests for a couple of minutes (this lets the oats soften a bit more), preheat your waffle iron. Lightly grease it with a bit of cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Cook for about 3–4 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and lifts easily. Avoid opening the iron too early—it can tear your waffle apart. You want that perfect crisp on the outside.
- Serve and Top Your Way: Remove the waffle and repeat with any remaining batter. Serve hot with your favorite toppings—think almond butter, fresh berries, Greek yogurt drizzle, or even a sprinkle of granola for crunch. I love mine with a little cinnamon and a spoonful of peanut butter for a protein-packed start to the day.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest allows the oats to soften for better texture.
- For a lighter waffle, you can adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk.
- Experiment with your favorite toppings for variety.
