Gluten-free oatmeal protein waffles are simple and healthy! Your favourite waffle toppings provide protein and complex carbs for breakfast.
INGREDIENT
– 2 cups rolled oats*– 6 Tbsp protein powder of choice optional**– 2 tsp baking powder– 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional– ½ tsp sea salt– 2 large egg– 2 egg whites ⅓ cup– 1 cup milk of choice***– 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup optionalOptional Additions:– ½ cup chocolate chip– ⅓ cup chopped pecans or walnut
INSTRUCTIONS
Blend or process oats on high for 30 seconds to make flour. Blend the protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt for 10–20 seconds to combine.
Step 1
Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, and pure maple syrup (if adding) in a large bowl until combined. Combine dry and wet ingredients into a smooth batter. Rest the batter for 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 2
Before turning on your waffle iron, spray the top and bottom with cooking spray. Follow waffle maker instructions. Cover batter on heated waffle iron and cook until golden brown.
Step 3
I use ¾ to 1 cup of batter per waffle in my BELLA Belgian Waffle Maker on high heat. I cook each waffle in 5 minutes for a crispy, golden brown exterior.
Step 4
Repeat with remaining waffle batter. Our Belgian waffle maker makes 4 large waffles from batter. Small waffle makers make 8.
Step 5
You can keep finished waffles on a baking sheet while others cook. Add butter, pure maple syrup, and other toppings to waffles immediately.
Step 6
Whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, Greek yoghurt, almond butter, peanut butter, seasonal fruit, jam, and jelly are great waffle toppings.
