Ingredients
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for the Protein Waffles. See the end of the recipe below for the full ingredient list, detailed instructions.
Substitutions
Use oat flour instead of ground oats.
Use whatever milk you want.

Dietary modifications
- If you want them 100% gluten-free, make sure your oatmeal or flakes are free of cross-contamination with traces of gluten.
- Swap out the Greek yogurt for a plant-based or lactose-free yogurt. Also, be sure to use a plant-based protein powder, if you use it.
Favorite toppings
As for the toppings here, everyone can choose what they like, but I would say that at least once you try them with egg, ham and avocado, hehe. I leave you with several options:
- Chocolate chips
- Butter or ghee with cinnamon
- Almond or peanut butter
- Greek yogurt and homemade jam
- Fresh fruit with melted chocolate
- Salmon and cottage or fresh cheese
- Honey and cottage cheese
- Egg, ham and avocado
How to reheat and store waffles
Eat immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
Put them in the toaster frozen and in a few minutes you will have them ready to enjoy.
Type.
Try not to grease your waffle iron too much between waffles to make them crispier! Alternatively, you can toast the waffles afterwards to get that desired crispiness.
Waffles are delicious.

INGREDIENTS
- 120 gr oat flakes (or oat flour)
- 45g of vanilla protein powder or 185g of oat flakes
- 112g fat-free Greek yogurt
- 4 egg whites or 2 whole eggs
- 120ml milk or plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (20 g)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Add the oats, protein powder, yogurt, egg whites, milk, honey, baking powder, and salt to a bowl and mix or blend until it forms a fine dough, not too runny or too thick.
Heat and grease the waffle maker. Pour the waffle mix into the hot machine and close it.
Cook until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from the machine and continue making all the remaining waffles. Optionally, toast them later (when you are going to eat them) in the toaster to make them extra crispy.
