Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/2 cup 2% Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
Toppings (Optional)
- Berries (to taste)
- Nuts (to taste)
- Maple Syrup (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it using oil spray to prevent the waffles from sticking.
- Make the batter: In a blender, combine the egg, 2% cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, unsweetened almond milk, and whole wheat pastry flour. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Cook the waffles: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the waffles are cooked through and golden brown. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Add toppings and serve: Top your waffles with fresh berries, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed breakfast.
Notes
- Use a non-stick waffle iron or make sure to grease it well to avoid waffles sticking.
- Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron’s specific instructions to avoid under or overcooking.
- For dairy-free variation, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
- You can mix up toppings as per your preference, such as yogurt, honey, or peanut butter.
- Whole wheat pastry flour can be replaced with all-purpose flour if unavailable, but whole wheat will provide more fiber.
