Make these satisfying, savory waffles using oat flour and cottage cheese for a high-protein start to your day or a quick meal prep option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats, quick cooking or instant
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, low fat or full fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional, for flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onion
  • Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Prepare your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions and lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk. Mix until mostly smooth; a few small lumps of cottage cheese are fine.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, if using.
  6. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended for your specific appliance.
  7. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crisp. This usually takes 4 to 6 minutes.
  8. Remove the savory oat waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For an extra protein boost, you can add 1/2 scoop of unflavored or plain protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • You can make these waffles ahead of time and freeze them. Reheat them in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
  • If you prefer a smoother batter, blend the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender before mixing with the dry ingredients.
  • These waffles are great topped with avocado, a fried egg, or smoked salmon for a complete meal.
