Classic Protein Waffles

Gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free (if you use plant based protein powder and milk)

Saturday mornings are always reserved for pancakes or waffles. The batter is pretty much identical for both, (although you can sometimes get away with a thinner batter for waffles) so it just depends what mood I'm in.

I adore Stranger Things, so every time I have these I think of Eleven with her Eggo's!

Ingredients

Dry

1/4 cup Rolled Oats

1/4 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/8 tsp Salt

1 scoop Vegan Protein

Wet

1 unit Banana

1 unit Egg

1 tbsp Honey

1/4 cup Plant Milk

Method

1. Turn on your waffle maker and get it heating up.

2. Put all dry and wet ingredients into a blender, I use my nutribullet, but any old thing will do. Whiz until combined.

3. You may need to scrape down the sides to make sure everything is incorporated. At this point take a judgement if the consistency is correct, too thin/thick. The oats will still absorb some of the moisture and continue to thicken slightly. Add more oats or more plant milk to get to your preferred consistency.

4. Brush the waffle iron with a thin layer of coconut oil.

5. Pour the waffle mixture into the waffle iron until 2/3 full. Cook for 3 1/2 mins. This may depend on how hot your iron gets.

6. Top with anything and everything you’d like. I always have a compulsory dollop of peanut butter.

Notes

For those with gluten intolerances or allergies, make sure your oats are gluten free (prepared in a gluten free environment).

All bananas and all eggs differ in size, so its impossible to predict exactly how much liquid you'll need to thin out the batter. You may need more, you may need less. If it becomes too thin, add some more oats or even be adventurous and you can add coconut flour or almond flour a teaspoon at a time.
