Protein Banana Waffles/Pancakes (WIP)
Ingredients:
- 28g instant oatmeal original
- 10g vanilla pea protein powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp granular sweetener
- 35g frozen bananas
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp banana extract
- 43g Chobani nonfat plain greek yogurt
- 2oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 baking powder (added 1/2 tsp when the first two waffles stuck but that may not have changed anything)
Nutrition
The entire batch is 189 calories. I was able to make about five 5" waffles/pancakes with the batter so less than 40 calories each.
Attempts:
1st attempt - sprayed the waffle maker, waffles stuck. Sprayed the skillet and the pancake had problem flipping. Didn't use any more spray and was able to flip the pancake. <-- is it the spray?
2nd attempt - no spray on the waffle maker. Result:
3rd attempt - 1 oz of almond milk instead of 2. Result
Instructions:
- Blend oatmeal into a flour.
- Mix oat flour with protein powder, granular sweetener, and baking powder.
- Place bananas in a separate bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds so they're easier to mix with flour mix.
- In the banana bowl, add greek yogurt and extracts. Thoroughly mix together.
- Add the wet mixture to the oat flour. It will be thick.
- Slowly add in almond milk until you get your desired level of thickness.
- Allow mix to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the mixture and flavor.
- Plug in or turn on waffle maker while mixture is sitting.
- {{Optional}} Depending on your waffle maker, you may need to spray with nonstick cooking spray. For me, I realized the best texture was without the additional spray but each waffle maker is different.
