Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 ripe banana
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the eggs, Greek yogurt, ripe banana, quick oats, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt into a blender.
- Blend Batter: Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, thick batter consistency, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Preheat and Grease Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the heated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions. A mini waffle iron or a regular sized one works equally well. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool on Rack: Remove the cooked waffles and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly while you prepare the remaining batter.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the waffles warm topped with fresh fruit and maple syrup for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute quick oats with rolled oats but blend longer to achieve a finer texture.
- If you don’t have vanilla protein powder, plain or flavored protein powder works as well.
- Waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick meal.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a small amount of honey or maple syrup into the batter if desired.
