Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 scoops protein powder (vanilla flavor)
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons optional sweetener like maple syrup or honey

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a blender, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Blend on medium speed until the mixture resembles a fine flour.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and oil until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the blender into the wet ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. If you'd like added sweetness, stir in your chosen sweetener.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little additional oil. Pour or scoop the recommended amount of batter per the manufacturer's guidance into the center of the waffle iron, closing the lid promptly.

Step 6

Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Remove carefully and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of syrup.
