Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat your waffle iron at this time. If you don't have a waffle iron, you can use this recipe to make pancakes but you may want to add some additional water or milk to thin the batter out a bit.

2 Use a food processor, blender, or magic bullet to grind your oats until they resemble a coarse flour. Empty flour into a large bowl and then grind your almonds as well. Add them to the bowl at this time.

3 Add whole wheat flour, baking soda and baking powder to your oats and almond mixture. Stir together and then make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

4 Pour milk, water, a splash of lemon juice, egg, and applesauce into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is uniform in appearance.

5 Add protein powder and almond extract at this time and mix just until combined.

6 Pour the batter onto your waffle iron following the manufacturer's directions. I use about 1/4 cup batter for each waffle on mine. Cook until done and then remove to a paper towel and allow them to cool while laying flat.

7 Once your waffles are cool, you can stack them in a large freezer bag and freeze them until you're ready to eat. Simply reheat them in the toaster just as you would store bought frozen waffles.
