Ingredients
1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon avocado oil or melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon cooking spray or extra oil for the waffle iron
Instructions
1. Preheat the waffle iron until fully hot.
2. Whisk the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oil until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so it thickens slightly.
6. Lightly grease the waffle iron, then add batter according to your waffle maker size.
7. Cook until the waffles are golden, crisp at the edges, and easy to remove.
8. Serve warm with maple syrup, berries, Greek yogurt, banana, or nut butter.
Notes
Use a fully preheated waffle iron so the waffles set quickly and develop crisp edges.
If the batter becomes too thick after resting, stir in 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it is thick but spoonable.
Cool leftovers on a wire rack before storing so they do not steam and turn soggy.
