Make these easy protein waffles using cottage cheese for a fluffy, macro friendly breakfast that supports muscle gain goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or gluten free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the iron

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt into a blender.
  2. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed. This step is key for fluffy waffles.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot iron according to your waffle maker’s instructions. Do not overfill.
  5. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and firm, usually 4 to 6 minutes.
  6. Remove carefully and serve immediately with your favorite high protein toppings.

Notes

  • For an extra protein boost, add 1 scoop of unflavored whey protein powder to the batter.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or a few drops of liquid stevia to the batter.
  • These waffles freeze well. Cool them completely, then stack with parchment paper in between and store in a freezer bag for quick meal prep breakfast options.
