Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (45g)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (120g)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (54g)
Instructions
Place the rolled oats, cottage cheese, eggs, and protein powder into a blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and completely combined.
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to the iron’s instructions until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Use gluten-free certified oats if you are sensitive to gluten. If the batter is too thick, add water or almond milk one tablespoon at a time. Full-fat cottage cheese provides a richer texture. Ensure your waffles are cooked until the edges are crispy for the best result.
