1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Blend rolled oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor.

In a large bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup (if using).

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable.

Notes
Swap almond milk for oat or dairy milk if needed.

Try mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or a pinch of nutmeg/pumpkin spice.
