These waffles are made from banana, ground oats, eggs, protein powder, soy milk. You can customise them with add-ins or toppings of your choosing. I love to top mine with yoghurt and fresh fruit. As for add-ins, you could try things like blueberries or chocolate chips.

Making waffles requires a waffle iron. If you don’t have one, you could always use this batter to make pancakes instead. This will make thick American style pancakes. If you prefer slightly thinner pancakes, you can add more milk.

I like to stay away from refined flour and sugar as much as possible when I’m creating recipes, which is why I chose to use ground oats and protein powder instead of all-purpose flour. One thing about baking with protein powder is that it can make food dry and rubbery. We’ve counteracted that here using the banana and eggs to add moisture. Oats are a great source of fibre, full of nutrients and really filling. Many of my breakfast recipes incorporate oats in some form.

These waffles are gluten-free and vegetarian. I’m working on a 100% plant-based recipe – coming soon!
