Yup, you read that correctly. Powell approved waffles that you can eat every day! This tasty breakfast is not only a winner with adults and kids, but it is packed with protein – the perfect way to start every day.
A HUGE thanks to our good friend, Ammon Woods, for lending this yummy recipe to post! I know y’all will LOVE this :).
Protein Waffles
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup oatmeal, instant or regular
1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
Put oatmeal and baking powder in food processor or blender and process until powdered.
In a food processor, blend cottage cheese, eggs, water, vanilla, and olive oil until smooth.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients to form a batter.
As the mixture stands it will thicken, and it may be necessary to add more water (a tablespoon at a time), to a get smooth, not lumpy, consistency.
Cook in a waffle iron according to the iron’s specifications. My waffles take about 4 minutes each.

You can also drizzle with honey or sugar free maple syrup. I top mine with 2 tbsp of coconut whipped cream, which adds an additional 60 cal, 5.2g fat, .8 carbs, and .8 protein

i made these today they r so…yummy could u plz tell me if the nutrition facts are for 1 serv or 2 and do u use nonfat full fat or low fat cottage cheese? thanx
Should I change anything to make pancakes instead of waffles?
Hi Heidi, I was wondering if these have 313 calories in one waffle or the whole mix? Thanks for sharing this recipe. We love these!

Love these! So does the family! Is the nutritional data for the whole recipe or one serving (half the recipe). Would Greek yogurt be a good nutritional substitute for cottage cheese?
This sounds wonderful. My husband has a Saturday morning tradition making waffles with our kids. I’m going to pre-make the batter for them to try. I wonder how it will work for pancakes if we don’t have time for cleaning the waffle iron? (I’m thinking school mornings). Thanks for sharing and congrats on that beautiful baby!
WOW! Those were fab. And kids really enjoyed them too. Thanks for sharing! We’ll be eating them lots here in Switzerland 🙂
Simply Delicious! Thank you. My kids love these.
This is a winner recipe! Thank you!
Katrina, do you think that it changed the nutritional values much? Did it make for more protein or less calories??
Thank you! Having these today! I make a similar pancake but with egg whites! My kiddos love them so I bet they are going to love these too!
