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 can’t stand cottage cheese . What can I use other that that?
This is for LC day too? And can you make it like a pancake? I don’t own a waffle iron.
Can someone please tell me what coconut whipped cream is? Also, how does one make it?
Just add a little coconut flavoring to your whipped cream when you whip it up.
It’s actually the top of a can of coconut mil, or you can buy coconut cream at Trader Joe’s and whip it up like regular cream!
Hi Heidi, Can you tell us more about your coconut whipped cream?
I substitute coconut oil for olive oil which is yummy!
Thank you! & I love your recipes!
How does this fit into carb cycling? Low carb day, high carb day, cheat day…?
The best protein waffles I have ever made. I have tried several receipes and they don’t even compare. Thank you so much Heidi!!
These look great, but I wondered if you had a somewhat healthy pancake recipe? Thanks!
Sounds delicious like most of your recipies, however I have a milk allergy and cannot have cottage cheese. Do you think substituting silken tofu would be a good option? Any other ideas?
We are gluten and dairy free in our house so I did a slight adjustment. GF oats for sure. Instead of the cottage cheese I mixed together one scoop of a vanilla plant-based protein smoothie powder and about 1/4c unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Then added it to the other wet ingredients.
It made 4 waffles in our waffle maker. My twin 4 year olds devoured them with a drizzle of maple syrup. 🙂

What kind of oatmeal? Quick cook? Rolled? Steel cut? Help please!
