Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (70 g) (use gluten-free flour, if needed)
- 2 servings protein powder of choice (60–70 g or about ¾ cup)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice (dairy-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron, whether you have a regular size or a mini waffle maker, so it’s ready when your batter is blended.
- Blend the ingredients: Add all the listed ingredients into a high-speed blender. Secure the lid tightly and blend on low speed for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Cook the waffles: Pour a small amount of batter depending on your waffle iron size into the preheated waffle maker. Cook until the waffles are lightly golden and fully cooked through – this typically takes a few minutes.
- Keep warm and continue: Remove the cooked waffles onto a plate or keep them warm in the oven set to the Keep Warm setting. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Once all waffles are cooked, serve them with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt for a delicious protein-packed breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Use protein powder of your choice: whey, plant-based, or any preferred type.
- Milk of choice can be dairy or dairy-free alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust toppings to fit dietary preferences and add flavor variety.
- Waffles can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or waffle iron.
