Whip up these simple, high protein cottage cheese waffles for a satisfying breakfast. Blending the cottage cheese creates a light texture while boosting your morning protein intake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter into a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step is key for fluffy waffles.
  2. Pour the blended mixture into a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour the batter onto the hot iron according to your appliance’s directions (usually about 1/2 cup per waffle).
  6. Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 4 to 6 minutes.
  7. Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a low carb waffle alternative, substitute the flour with 1/2 cup almond flour and add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour.
  • If you prefer a sweeter waffle, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or a few drops of liquid stevia to the batter.
  • These waffles freeze well. Cool completely, place parchment paper between layers, and store in a freezer bag for a make ahead protein breakfast.
  • Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup for a healthy brunch inspiration.
