Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Make oat flour: Blend the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they form a fine flour, which provides a smooth waffle texture.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown, crisp on the outside, and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve immediately, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure your waffle maker is well-greased or use a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- For extra sweetness, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free version.
- Waffles are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a toaster or oven.
