Healthy Protein Waffles
Description
This recipe for Healthy Protein Waffles starts with a batter made by blending whole eggs, creamy cottage cheese, and whole oats until smooth. The addition of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt rounds out the simple ingredient list. By using oats instead of flour, the waffles gain a mildly nutty flavor and a bit of texture, while the cottage cheese adds protein and a tender crumb.
Cooking the batter in a waffle iron until golden produces waffles with a crisp exterior and soft interior. They do not rely on added sugars or traditional flour, making them a healthy option that still satisfies the waffle craving. Serving them immediately after cooking ensures the best texture and warmth.
Ingredients
- 6 egg large
- 2 cups cottage cheese

- Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
