Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup (scant) whey protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Batter: Add the rolled oats, low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, whey protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, low-fat milk, and a pinch of sea salt into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it to cover the surface. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4 minutes or until the waffles are set and have a golden-brown crisp exterior.
- Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve right away. Top with your favorite additions such as Greek yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup, or fresh berries to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, toast the waffles in a toaster or toaster oven directly from the fridge or freezer for best results.
- Use whey protein powder specifically to ensure waffles remain light and fluffy; beef isolate powders are not recommended as they can create flat, soft waffles.
