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
Additional
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Butter, cinnamon, and maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking.
- Prepare Batter: 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, forming the waffle batter.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly spray the hot waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter onto the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook the waffle until it turns golden brown and crisp, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the waffle and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter to make a total of 6 waffles.
- Serve: Serve the waffles warm, topped with butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired for extra flavor and sweetness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives.
- Make sure the waffle iron is well heated before adding batter for best crispy results.
- The batter can be adjusted with additional milk for a thinner consistency if waffles turn out too dense.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
