Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

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

1 large banana, well mashed

2 large eggs

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

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, including blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)

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

Instructions
 

Prep the Oats: Start by placing the rolled oats in a blender. Pulse them until they achieve a fine flour-like consistency. This oat flour will create a beautiful texture for your waffles.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

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

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. If the batter appears too thick, you may add a splash more milk to achieve your desired consistency.

          Fold in Berries: Carefully fold the mixed berries into the batter. Make sure to distribute them evenly without overmixing, as this ensures the berries stay whole during cooking.

            Heat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This step is crucial for getting perfectly crisp waffles.

              Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker (generally 1/2 to 3/4 cup based on the size of your appliance). Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and have developed a crispy texture.

                Serve and Enjoy: Carefully lift the waffles out of the waffle maker and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite options such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, and extra berries or a spoonful of nut butter for added flavor.
