High-Protein Cottage Cheese Waffles
Nutrition per serving
Ingredients
- 250g cottage cheese
- 3 eggs
- 80g rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein (30g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g 0% Greek yogurt, to serve
- 150g mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, vanilla whey, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease the plates with oil or cooking spray.
Pour about a quarter of the batter onto the hot iron, close the lid and cook 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
Transfer the waffle to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 waffles.
Stack two waffles on each plate.
Top each stack with Greek yogurt, fresh berries and a light drizzle of honey, then serve warm.
These high-protein cottage cheese waffles have completely changed my breakfast game. I blend creamy cottage cheese with rolled oats and a scoop of vanilla whey, and the result is a waffle that's golden and crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and packs a serious 30 grams of protein per serving — with zero protein-bar aftertaste. A pinch of cinnamon and vanilla makes them taste like a weekend treat, while the cool Greek yogurt, fresh berries and light honey drizzle on top keep every bite fresh and naturally sweet. At just 380 calories per serving, they fit beautifully into a weight-loss plan without ever feeling like 'diet food'. The batter takes five minutes in the blender, and the waffles freeze brilliantly, so I usually make a double batch on Sunday and reheat them in the toaster all week. If your mornings need more fuel and less fuss, these waffles are your answer.
