Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup protein powder (choose vanilla or unflavored)

1 large banana, thoroughly mashed

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy)

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; options include blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, additional berries, or nut butter

Instructions
 

Prep the Oats: Place the rolled oats in a blender. Pulse on high until the oats reach a fine flour-like consistency. This will create a light and fluffy texture for your waffles.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined and there are no visible lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, use a whisk to blend the mashed banana, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If the batter appears too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

          Fold in Berries: Carefully add the mixed berries to the batter, and gently fold them in. Ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart too much.

            Heat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.

              Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle maker, typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your machine's size. Close the lid and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

                Serve and Enjoy: Carefully lift the waffles from the machine and keep warm while repeating the cooking process with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of toppings, such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, extra berries, or a spread of nut butter.
