Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (either whey or plant-based)

2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup for sweetness

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, chopped nuts, Greek yogurt, or an extra drizzle of peanut butter

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for perfect waffles.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Make sure these ingredients are evenly combined to ensure consistent flavor and texture throughout your waffles.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a different bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step ensures that the peanut butter incorporates well with the liquid ingredients.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed. Avoid overmixing; it’s normal for the batter to have some lumps. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period will thicken the batter slightly and enhance the texture of the waffles.

          Make the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your appliance). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s guidelines, generally 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and fluffy.

            Repeat Cooking: Continue this process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed to ensure all waffles cook well.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once alive with tempting aromas, serve the warm waffles immediately. Top them with your choice of sliced bananas, a dollop of Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, or an additional drizzle of peanut butter or honey for an extra delicious touch.

                Savored Moments: Enjoy every bite of your delightful fluffy peanut butter protein waffles as a nutritious breakfast or snack!
