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
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
