Welcome to our kitchen! Today, I’m super excited to share a recipe with you that’s not only scrumptious but also loaded with protein. High-Protein Oat Waffles are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a snack. They’re crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they’ll keep you fueled up for whatever your day has in store!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats sub: quick oats or oat flour
- 1 cup cottage cheese sub: Greek yogurt or silken tofu for a dairy-free option
- 2 large eggs sub: flax eggs for a vegan version
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional, but delicious!
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray or a little butter for the waffle maker
Instructions
- Blend it up: In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth. This mixture will be your waffle batter.
- Preheat the waffle maker: Get your waffle maker heating up and spray it with some cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour and cook: Once your waffle maker is ready, pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle iron (you may need to adjust this based on your machine). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. You want them to be golden brown and crispy!
- Serve hot: Carefully remove the waffles, and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup!
