Make waffles that are high in protein using a blend of whey isolate and cottage cheese for a fluffy texture and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla whey protein isolate
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese, almond milk, egg yolks, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is mostly mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter in two additions until just incorporated. This adds air for fluffiness.
  7. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to your iron’s instructions until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For non-chalky protein waffles, ensure you blend the cottage cheese completely smooth before mixing.
  • If you prefer a different protein, substitute whey with casein or a plant-based blend, adjusting liquid slightly if the batter seems too thick.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • For low sugar high protein waffles, use unflavored protein powder and skip added sweeteners in the batter.
