- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
For Cooking
- Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Cook the waffles: Pour enough batter onto the preheated and greased waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing.
- Waffle iron cooking: Cook the batter as per your waffle iron’s instructions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, nut butters, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Using oat flour makes these waffles gluten-free if you use gluten-free oats and protein powder.
- Unsweetened applesauce adds moisture without the need for extra oil or butter.
- Maple syrup and cinnamon are optional to adjust sweetness and flavor.
- Ensure your waffle iron is well-greased to avoid sticking.
- These waffles are best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated.
