Description

These Quick High Protein Waffles are a nutritious and delicious breakfast option packed with protein and made from wholesome ingredients like rolled oats, cottage cheese, and egg whites. Perfect for a speedy morning meal, they are easy to prepare using a blender and waffle iron, offering a creamy batter and crispy waffles ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup egg whites (or 2 large eggs)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup water or milk (adjust based on batter consistency)

Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. This step forms the base of your waffle batter.
  2. Blend until smooth: Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the batter is too thick, gradually add water or milk to reach a pourable consistency.
  3. Preheat the waffle iron: While blending, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the waffles: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per waffle onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary based on your waffle iron.
  5. Serve immediately: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles and serve hot. Enhance with toppings like fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute egg whites with 2 whole eggs if preferred, but this will increase fat and cholesterol content.
  • If you want vegan waffles, replace egg whites with a flaxseed or chia egg, and use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
  • Adjust the water or milk quantity depending on your desired batter thickness and waffle crispness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding spices like nutmeg or a pinch of ground ginger.
  • Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
