Make satisfying, protein-packed savory waffles using oats as the base. This recipe combines spinach, feta cheese, and chives for a flavorful, complete breakfast or meal prep option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until you achieve a fine oat flour consistency.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, cottage cheese, eggs, and milk. Whisk until mostly smooth.
  3. Fold in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chives, baking powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or oil.
  5. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount appropriate for your machine size. Close the lid and cook according to your iron’s instructions, usually until steaming stops and the waffle is golden brown and firm (about 4 to 6 minutes).
  6. Carefully remove the high protein savory oat waffles and serve immediately or keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Notes

  • For an extra protein boost, add 1/4 scoop of unflavored whey protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • If you prefer a crispier waffle, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • These savory meal prep waffles freeze well; cool completely, then stack with parchment paper between layers before freezing in an airtight container.
