Ingredients
Scale
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 extract
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: Combine all wet and dry ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Cook Waffles: Pour a scant ½ cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately. Top with maple syrup, nut butter, or your favorite toppings as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the plant-based protein powder with your preferred brand or type, adjusting flavor accordingly.
- For dairy-free version, ensure using dairy-free Greek yogurt or replace with a thick non-dairy yogurt.
- If you don’t have a high-powered blender, soak oats briefly in almond milk to soften before blending.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
- Adjust cooking time as needed based on your waffle iron’s heat settings.
