Make satisfying, high-protein waffles using cottage cheese for a macro-friendly breakfast that supports your fitness goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or oil for the iron

Instructions

  1. Combine the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step removes lumps for a better texture.
  2. Add the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender. Pulse until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray or oil.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot iron, using the amount recommended for your specific iron size.
  5. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and cooked through, usually 4 to 6 minutes.
  6. Remove carefully and serve immediately with your favorite high-protein toppings.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest protein waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you do not have oat flour, blend 1/2 cup of rolled oats until fine.
  • Use unflavored or vanilla protein powder for the best results in this recipe.
  • For a low carb high protein waffles version, substitute the oat flour with almond flour.
