Make thick, fluffy waffles using oats and cottage cheese for a high-protein breakfast. This recipe skips traditional flour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the iron

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Process until the oats resemble a coarse flour consistency.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined. Do not overmix once smooth.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Use enough batter to cover the surface without overflowing.
  5. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crisp. This may take slightly longer than traditional waffles due to the moisture content.
  6. Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For the best texture, let the batter rest for five minutes after blending before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker batter, reduce the blending time slightly so the oats remain a bit coarser.
  • These waffles freeze well. Cool them completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag for easy meal prep breakfast ideas.
