  • Total Time: 21 minutes
  • Yield: 6 waffles (serves 3)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, cottage cheese, eggs, and milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Cook Waffles: Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray if desired to prevent sticking. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of the batter onto the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Repeat and Serve: Remove the cooked waffle carefully and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make a total of 6 waffles. Serve warm, topped with butter, cinnamon, and maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron for best texture.
  • These waffles can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
  • Gluten-free oats can be used to make the recipe gluten-free if needed.
