Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice

- In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, egg whites, almond milk, nut butter, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
- Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Notes
Use certified gluten-free oat flour and protein powder for a gluten-free version.
Substitute Greek yogurt and egg whites for dairy-free yogurt and flax eggs to make it vegan.
To reheat, toast the waffles to maintain crispness.
These waffles freeze well—store with parchment between layers.
Add-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts can enhance flavor and texture.
