Make these incredibly fluffy and easy protein packed waffles using cottage cheese for a macro friendly morning meal perfect for fitness goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or regular flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the iron

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) into a blender.
  3. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. There should be no lumps of cottage cheese remaining. This step is key for fluffy waffles.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your iron’s size.
  5. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite high protein toppings.

Notes

  • For gluten free protein waffles, make sure your oat flour is certified gluten-free.
  • If you prefer a less tangy flavor, you can rinse the cottage cheese briefly before blending, though this adds a step.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep breakfast; store cooled waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To boost protein further, add one scoop of unflavored whey powder to the batter.
