Description
These Mouthwatering Protein Waffles are the kind of breakfast that makes getting out of bed feel easy. They come out golden on the outside, soft in the middle, and packed with enough protein to keep you satisfied long after breakfast is over. I love them for a quick breakfast, easy brunch, healthy snack, meal prep idea, and simple homemade recipe that still feels comforting and special. Whether you need better breakfast ideas, an easy recipe for busy mornings, or food ideas that taste indulgent without being heavy, these waffles check every box.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray for the waffle iron
Maple syrup, fresh berries, or yogurt for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Add the rolled oats, protein powder, cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Preheat the waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
3. Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron, using enough to fill the center without overfilling.
4. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
5. Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Serve warm with maple syrup, berries, yogurt, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For crispier waffles, let them cook a little longer than usual so the exterior turns deeply golden before removing them.
If you are making a batch ahead, cool the waffles completely and reheat them in a toaster or air fryer so they stay crisp instead of soft.
