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

Any way to make these dairy free
Hi Nicole: I think you can find dairy-free substitutes for the dairy products in the recipe. If not, you might be able to find a dairy-free pancake/waffles mix and then add your favorite protein powder to it to amp up the protein. Hope that helps! 🙂
My gang wanted chocolate waffles! I added 1/2 cup cocoa, 1/4 cup Swerve sweetener, a tbsp instant espresso and 4oz of really dark chocolate chopped up to this recipe and OMG! IT’S FABULOUS! I had to add a little more water too but holy yum!
Hi, I am new to carb cycling and doing the extreme transformation path. I was wondering if these waflfes are considered a full breakfast? Meaning it has all the protein, carb and fat that you need for the first meal of the day or any other high carb meal on my high carb days? Do I need to add a fat for breakfast?
Thank you!
Love these. I know it’s 2 servings but how much better do you use for each waffle.
Hi Stephanie: That depends on the size of your waffle iron. Cook all of the batter, then divide the number of waffles by two, and you’ll be good to go! 🙂
Where’s the coconut whipped cream recipe?
Hi Jenny: We don’t have a recipe for coconut whipped cream, it’s a product you can buy at the grocery store. Enjoy your waffles!
Hi can I turn these into pancakes instead of waffles.
Hi Monique! Yes, you can totally turn these into pancakes! 🙂
