Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a blender, combine the rolled oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend on high until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency.

Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray and pour an appropriate amount of batter (according to your waffle iron's instructions) onto the heated surface.

Step 6

Close the waffle iron and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron, and repeat with the remaining batter to make approximately four waffles.
