Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 ripe banana

2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or your favorite flavor)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, honey or maple syrup, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: In a blender or food processor, grind the rolled oats into a flour-like consistency. This will be the base for your waffles.

    Blend the Ingredients: Add the almond milk, ripe banana, peanut butter, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the oat flour in the blender. Blend until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick but pourable. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so it thickens slightly.

      Preheat the Waffle Iron: While the batter rests, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of oil.

        Cook the Waffles: Pour the recommended amount of batter (usually about 1/2 cup but this varies by waffle iron) onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

          Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your choice of toppings, such as sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, chopped nuts for added crunch, or dark chocolate chips for indulgence.

            Enjoy: These waffles not only provide a delicious breakfast, but they're also packed with protein and fiber to keep you satisfied throughout the day!
