Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Food processor or coffee grinder (optional) for grinding up oatmeal
  • 1 Waffle maker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats gluten free, if desired
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk optional, for a thinner batter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your waffle iron- grease it lightly if needed.
  • (Optional) If you do not have a high powdered blender, coarsely grind up the oatmeal in a food processor or coffee grinder first.
  • In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats, protein powder, baking powder, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth (about 30 seconds.) If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of milk to thin it slightly.
  • Pour the batter into your waffle iron, spreading evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  • Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings.
