Reasons to Love These Waffles

  • Quick & Easy: These are super and easy to make and require very minimal ingredients and equipment. You just toss everything in a blender, which makes the clean up so much easier! No one likes cleaning tons of dishes.
  • High Protein Without Powder: I have gotten many requests to make protein sweets that do not have added protein powder in them so here you go! You definitely could add additional protein powder as a substitute for some of the oats, but they are naturally packed with protein just as they are! There are 14 grams of protein per waffle without adding any protein powder.

Nutritional Benefits

  • Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and is low in calories. It plays an important role in bone health due to the calcium and is rich in Vitamin B12.
  • Oats: Oats are one of the healthiest grains on earth. They’re gluten-free, whole grain, and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Oats have been proven to be directly linked to weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese - 1 cup of small curd, low fat (1%) cottage cheese. You can use any kind, but just keep in mind that your fat & calories will increase if you use higher than 1%.
  • Eggs - 3 large eggs.
  • Oats - 1 cup of rolled, organic old fashioned oats.
  • Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Salt - Just a pinch!
  • Baking Powder- 1 teaspoon, to make them fluffy.
  • Sweetener- This is optional, but I used 1-2 teaspoons of stevia or Swerve to sweeten them up a little!
