- 60 grolled oats(finely ground into oat flour)
- 150 mlplant-based milk(soy drink for the highest protein content)

Grind the 60 g rolled oats to a fine oat flour in a high-speed blender or food processor. This is what makes the waffles crisp outside and fluffy inside.
- 2
Combine the oat flour with the 7 ½ g chia seeds, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the mashed ½ banana, the 150 ml plant-based milk, the 15 g peanut butter and the 10 ml maple syrup, then whisk everything into a smooth, thick batter.

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. During this time the chia seeds soak up the liquid and give the batter enough structure without any egg.

Preheat the waffle iron and grease it lightly. Add a generous ladle of batter per waffle and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Do not open it too early or the waffle will tear.

Frequently asked
Why do the waffles hold together without egg?
The chia seeds swell in the liquid and form a gel that binds the batter. Together with the finely ground oat flour and the mashed banana this creates enough structure for the waffles to crisp up and not stick to the iron.
Can I make the waffles gluten-free?
Yes. Simply use gluten-free oats, the rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free anyway. Check the label when buying, as regular oats often contain traces of wheat.
Which plant drink works best?
Soy drink delivers the highest protein content at around 3 g per 100 ml and makes the waffles especially filling. Oat or almond drink also work in terms of taste, but contain noticeably less protein.
