Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats or oat flour Oat flour can be used instead of rolled oats.
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder Any flavor can be used.
- 2 large eggs or 1 egg plus egg whites Flax eggs can be used for a vegan version.
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese Dairy-free yogurt can also be used.
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2–4 tbsp milk Adjust to reach desired batter thickness.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional for extra flavor.
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat and lightly grease your waffle iron.
- In a blender, combine the rolled oats (or oat flour), protein powder, eggs, Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese), baking powder, and an optional pinch of salt and vanilla extract. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth.
- Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to hydrate the oats. If it thickens too much, stir in 1-3 tablespoons of milk.
Cooking
- Pour about 3/4 cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron. Adjust based on the size of your iron.
- Cook until steam slows and waffles turn golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes for regular waffles.
Serving
- Carefully remove the waffles and let them cool on a wire rack to achieve crisp edges. Serve warm or freeze for later use.
Notes
Top with fresh fruits, honey, maple syrup, or nut butter. Store waffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or freeze for longer storage.
