Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats, ground into flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (neutral or vanilla flavor)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Optional spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice (to taste)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional sweetener: 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

For Cooking

  • Oil or butter, for greasing waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Prepare your batter: Start by grinding rolled oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and any optional spices you’re using.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth and creamy, ensuring an even consistency to help the waffles cook evenly.
  3. Mix wet and dry components: Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid dense waffles. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly for better crisping.
  4. Preheat waffle iron and grease: Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and brush it lightly with oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and promote a golden crust.
  5. Cook waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron, spreading gently. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until the waffles release easily and have developed their signature crispy edges.
  6. Serve immediately or keep warm: Serve hot for the best texture or keep in a warm oven on a rack to maintain crispiness while making the rest.

Notes

  • Use a hot waffle iron to lock in crispness from the start.
  • Don’t overmix batter; stir just until ingredients come together to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Rest your batter for a few minutes to improve texture and crispiness.
  • Lightly grease the waffle iron before each batch to avoid sticking and enhance crisp edges.
  • Greek yogurt boosts protein, adds moisture, and helps achieve golden-brown waffles.
