Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 4 large egg whites
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a blender, add the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine flour consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, almond milk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir using a spatula until everything is well combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.

Step 6

Lightly coat the waffle iron plates with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron's instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and set.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles using a spatula and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a light drizzle of additional maple syrup.
