This cottage cheese waffles recipe is made with a blender and I love how easy it is.
Buzz, pour, cook, READY!
Turns out, I love using my waffle iron for all kinds of things besides waffles. If you haven’t tried my Banana Waffle Bread or Baked Apple Waffle, you’re missing out.
This recipe allows you to pack a waffle (which usually contains carbs) with protein because it uses cottage cheese and eggs.
You can make them gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
The best part about this is how easy it is to add to the waffle maker from the blender. You don’t make a big mess like you do with a spoon: just pour the mixture into the blender jar.
Sometimes I make them for dinner because that’s how I make them. My kids love eating breakfast for dinner because we usually run out the door when we’re actually supposed to eat breakfast.
You can also make them as pancakes if you don’t have a waffle maker. But I would suggest getting one because they are ridiculously fun. I don’t know why I’m so fascinated with my waffle maker, but every time I can use it, I do. I think I get bored of the same old food, so using an appliance makes things feel fresh.
Yes, I’m really bored.
I also like my panini maker for sandwiches and my blender. I wouldn’t want to go back to the days before electricity and live without these small kitchen appliances. I’m a big fan of progress, even if it means I have to keep hiding screens from my kids.
I like to eat them alone or with berries, cheese or even chives. They can go the savory or sweet route, it’s up to you.
What do you put on your waffles or pancakes to add more protein?
