Gluten Free Protein Waffles w/ Protein Icing

*SERVES 4*

Ingredients- 

For the waffles:

• 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
• 1 1/2 scoops of vanilla protein powder (I used this one - but the quest vanilla milkshake works great too!)
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour (I used this one )
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 
• 3 tablespoons greek yogurt (for a dairy option, replace with coconut milk yogurt)
• 3/4 cup of egg whites 
• 15 drops of liquid stevia (depends on how sweet you want them)
• 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (optional)
• 3-4 tbsp of water {this will vary based on the type of protein you use so start with less and add until the proper consistency)

For the icing:

• 2 scoops vanilla milkshake Quest Protein 
• 1 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt 
• 1 tsp. cinnamon 
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 
• few drop of liquid stevia depending on your preference to the sweetness 
• unsweetened almond milk to taste

To Make- 

For the waffles:

1. Preheat your waffle maker
2. Blend all the dry ingredients 
3. Add in the wet ingredients and mix well 
4. Spoon into waffle maker (make LESS of a mess) and cook for about 6-8 minutes. Check after about 5 to see if the waffles are golden so they don't burn.

For the icing:

1. Add your protein and spices into a medium sized bowl and mix well.
2. Next add in your greek yogurt and stir until a thick consistency forms.
3. Add in 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk at a time to make sure your icing doesn't get too watery. Keep adding until your desired thickness.
4. Taste - if you want it sweeter add the liquid stevia.
