High Protein Waffles
Description
This recipe blends small curd cottage cheese with egg yolks, vanilla extract, optional sugar, water, oat flour, baking powder, and salt to create a smooth batter. The oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats. Separately, egg whites are beaten to soft peaks and folded in to aerate the batter, improving texture and fluffiness. The batter is cooked in a preheated waffle iron sprayed with oil spray until the waffles are golden brown and no longer steaming.
The cottage cheese contributes moisture and protein, while the oat flour adds whole grain elements with a mild, nutty flavor. These waffles offer a balance of softness inside and crisp edges, without excessive sweetness unless sugar is added. The recipe allows omitting sugar or replacing it with preferred sweeteners.
They can be served with fruit, syrup, or savory toppings depending on preference. Checking labels ensures the oat flour and other ingredients support gluten-free needs if required.
