- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Other
- Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using, ensuring an even distribution of all dry components.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup if desired to the dry mix. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour batter onto waffle iron: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using enough to evenly cover the surface without overflowing, to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or according to your waffle iron’s guidelines, until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve immediately: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and serve immediately. Top with fresh fruit, nut butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings for a delicious meal.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as cow’s milk, soy, or oat milk.
- For a vegan option, ensure your protein powder is plant-based and maple syrup is used instead of honey.
- Experiment with different toppings like fresh berries, Greek yogurt, or nuts for added flavor and texture.
- Do not overfill the waffle iron to avoid batter overflow.
- Adding cinnamon is optional but enhances the flavor profile of the waffles.
