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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
