Baking spray or coconut oilto grease the waffle iron
Instructions
Preheat: Turn on your waffle iron while you prep the batter.
Grind the oats: Add oats to a food processor or chopper and blend into a fine flour.
Blend batter: Add banana, protein powder, plant milk, baking powder, vanilla (if using), and salt. Blend until smooth — the batter will be thick.
Bake: Grease the waffle iron with a baking spray or coconut oil on a paper towel. Spoon in 2 heaped tablespoons of batter per waffle square and cook for 3 minutes or until golden.
Cool: Transfer waffles to a wire rack to cool completely or serve them warm.
Freeze (optional): Let them cool, then pop them into a zip bag, pressing out as much air as possible for freezer storage. You can defrost them in the toaster.
Notes
I use Mrs Flury's protein powder (ELO10 for 10% off), which is great for baking if you’re based in Europe or Switzerland. Alternatively, use another pea protein-based protein powder.
These waffles don’t have any added oil, so even the best non-stick iron might need a little extra help. Use spray oil or a paper towel dipped in melted coconut oil to grease your waffle iron. Re-grease between batches if needed.
