Vanilla Protein Waffles

My kids love waffles and pancakes, so I'm always looking for new recipes to try.  These were a major hit!  They kept asking for more!

Protein Waffles
Via Fixate

2 cups oat flour (oats ground in food processor)
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
3/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder (I used 2 scoops of vanilla Shakeology)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
4 large egg whites, beaten to form stiff peaks
1 pinch salt

1. Preheat waffle iron.
2. Combine oat flour, flaxmeal, protein powder, and baking powder in a medium bowl, mix well, and set aside.
3. Combine extract and almond milk in a medium bowl, whisk to blend.
4. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture, whisk gently just until smooth batter forms.
5. Gently fold in egg whites.
6. Cook 2/3 cup batter in preheated waffle iron until crisp and golden.
7. Top with pure maple syrup or my favorite, peanut butter!

I always cook all of the batter and then freeze the leftover waffles for quick breakfasts later in the week!
