Healthy Protein Waffles (no protein powder)
These delicious healthy protein waffles taste like the real thing. But unlike conventional waffles, they are healthy and satisfying. High in protein, they will keep you feeling full from breakfast until lunchtime. Healthy protein waffles without protein powder are made with just 3 ingredients: eggs, cottage cheese and wholegrain oats.
Ingredients
- 100 g cottage cheese ½ cup
- 40 g gluten free oats ½ cup
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (gluten free)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- butter or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker on a medium setting.
- Add the oats, cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.100 g cottage cheese, 40 g gluten free oats , 2 eggs, ½ tsp baking powder (gluten free), ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Brush the hot waffle plates with a very thin coat of oil or butter. Add about a tablespoon of mixture to each section of the waffle plate. It should be well coated, but not so thick that it will squeeze out. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden.butter or olive oil
Notes
- If you are not using a food processor or blender, you'll need to use oat flour rather than whole oats. Mix all the ingredients (except the oil or butter) together with a hand whisk.
- If you are using a stove top waffle maker rather than an electric one, cook each side of the waffles separately.
- Even if your waffle maker has a non-stick coating, I still find it best to lightly oil the plates to ensure your waffles are easy to remove.
- Waffles are best served warm. If you want to make them in advance, heat them through briefly in a toaster.
- For gluten free waffles, ensure that both oats and baking powder are certified gluten free.
