FYI, I combined a few different recipes to make this pretty perfect waffle recipe. So I figured I’d share 🙂
High protein cottage cheese waffles [gluten free]
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (full fat) cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 cup whole rolled oats
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
Combine cottage cheese, eggs, melted coconut oil, sugar and vanilla in the blender and blend until smooth. Add almond flour, oats, baking powder, and salt and blend again until pureed.
Let batter sit while the waffle iron heats up.
Spray waffle iron with oil and pour batter in. Wait until the waffle iron changes color to know they are done. FYI – it felt like it took way longer than it normally does for them to cook, but I just waited and they were perfect.
Spray iron between batches as needed.
I didn’t calculate the stats on these, but a rough estimate is ~10 grams of protein per waffle quarter wedge. So if you have 3-4 for breakfast you have already kicked off the day with a solid 30-40 grams of protein!
