Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (ground into oat flour)
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (whey, pea, soy, or your choice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (adjust for batter consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons sweetener of choice (optional: honey, maple syrup, or stevia)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Grind the rolled oats into a fine oat flour using a blender or food processor. In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  2. Preheat and Grease Your Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron to medium-high temperature and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted coconut oil to prevent sticking and to achieve a golden crisp crust.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron depending on its size. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove waffles and place them on a cooling rack to maintain their crispiness.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the high protein waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nut butter, or maple syrup, or keep them warm in a low oven until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to ensure light and fluffy waffles.
  • Preheat the waffle iron properly for even cooking and to avoid sticking.
  • Use fresh eggs, yogurt, and high-quality protein powder for best flavor.
  • Adjust milk quantity to customize batter thickness.
  • Cool waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking to avoid sogginess.
