The Best Fluffy High-Protein Cottage Cheese Waffles

A person enjoying a healthy breakfast of High-Protein Cottage Cheese Waffles topped with fruit and yogurt.

A recipe for high-protein waffles made with a batter that uses cottage cheese for a moist texture and a protein boost. The wet ingredients, including cottage cheese, eggs, and milk, are blended until completely smooth before being gently mixed with the dry ingredients. The resulting thick batter is cooked in a waffle iron until golden and cooked through, creating a delicious and more nutritious alternative to traditional waffles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat is best)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (plus more for serving)
  • 1 1/4 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil (melted and cooled)
  • 3 Tablespoons milk of choice

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour and baking powder.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and milk. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Stir in the melted and cooled coconut oil until well combined. The batter will be thick.
  5. Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter into each waffle cavity.
  7. Cook for 3-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through (the exact time will depend on your waffle iron).
  8. Serve immediately, topped with more maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Using a blender for the wet ingredients is a key step to ensure the cottage cheese is completely smooth and incorporated into the batter, avoiding a lumpy texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter after combining the wet and dry ingredients to keep the waffles tender.
  • The batter for these waffles is intentionally thick.
