Ingredients
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 (e.g., 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 the Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, protein powder, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a high-powered blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour about ½ cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup or nut butter.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure the oats and protein powder blend smoothly for the best texture.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your waffle iron model – cooking until golden brown is key.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- These waffles freeze well – reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
- Customize toppings to your preference; fresh fruit or nuts add great flavor and texture.
