Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup oats or oat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or stevia (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together protein powder, oats or oat flour, and baking powder to ensure even distribution for consistent waffle texture.
  2. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, milk or plant-based alternative, vanilla extract, and any sweeteners until smooth and creamy.
  3. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring carefully until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
  4. Preheat and Grease the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron thoroughly and lightly coat with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking and promote crispness.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron, close, and cook until waffles turn golden brown and crispy, generally 4-6 minutes depending on your machine.

Notes

  • Preheat your waffle iron fully for maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined.
  • Lightly oil the waffle iron to prevent sticking without adding greasiness.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate oats and improve texture.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron to prevent soggy or burnt waffles.
