Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/2 cup natural peanut butter

2 large eggs

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, honey, maple syrup, chocolate chips, or berries

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: Start by blending the rolled oats in a blender until they resemble a fine flour. This will serve as your base for the waffles.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Preheat Waffle Iron: While the batter rests for about 5-10 minutes, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

            Grease the Waffle Iron: Lightly coat the waffle plates with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

              Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy (about 4-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron).

                Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.

                  Add Toppings: Serve your delicious waffles topped with sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, chocolate chips for a treat, or your favorite berries.
