1 teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
⅓ cup milk of choice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Add oats (or oat flour), protein powder, baking powder, egg, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon into a blender.
2. Blend the ingredients until smooth and let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
3. Preheat your waffle iron and grease it lightly.
4. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
5. Remove and repeat with remaining batter.
6. Serve warm with toppings like fruit, nut butter, or yogurt.
Notes
Let the batter sit after blending to help it thicken for fluffier waffles.
Use whey protein for the lightest texture, or adjust milk if using plant-based powder.
Freeze leftovers for a quick weekday breakfast.
