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

Just made these, so yummy and simple! I topped mine with applesauce. Maybe next time I will add cinnamon to the batter. Thank you so much for starting my Sunday off right!!!
These are amazingly deliscious!!! Even my son and daughter, who hate cottage cheese, loved them!! I topped mine with fruit!! Everyone should try these!! Great treat for Sundays!!
I am in the process of planning out my meals and think this would be a great addition. It is hard for me to find something to eat in the morning and I think this just might be it. Thanks for the idea 🙂
I eliminated dairy from my diet. What can I use instead of cottage cheese?
Is the protein listed above per waffle or per serving? If per serving, what is the serving size?
Are your waffles Belgian Waffles or regular size waffles? What is the serving size? They sound delicious and I plan on making them for my family. Thank you.
Going to try this in the morning. Looks delicious! Could you share the recipe for the coconut whipped cream?!?!
Thanks for the idea for the cottage cheese/greek yogurt swap! My kids are fans of cottage cheese but will eat yogurt. Can’t wait to try these!!
Calories are for eating both waffles?
