Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Add the almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing.
- Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of syrup.
Notes
- Storage/Reheating: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To freeze, place cooked waffles in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
- Flour Substitutes: You can replace oat flour with all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour. However, this may affect the texture.
- Sweetness: Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup, honey, or stevia to taste.
- Customizations: Add chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or a spicy kick with cayenne or ginger.
