Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)

2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, chopped nuts, Greek yogurt, or additional peanut butter

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, eggs, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your iron). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions (generally 3-5 minutes) until golden brown and fluffy.

            Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary.

              Serve: Once cooked, serve the waffles warm. Top with sliced bananas, a dollop of Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter and/or honey for extra flavor.

                Enjoy your delightful fluffy peanut butter protein waffles!
