And we're talking 22 grams of protein and only 230 calories! Plus, they only take 10 minutes to make; practical enough for school mornings, or post-workout breakfast.

I am new to making waffles from scratch, let alone a protein forward one. Bought a brand new waffle iron so double jeopardy! This recipe was easy and delicious! Five stars!!
Do you think you can use the same batter for pancakes instead of waffles?
Yes, you can definitely use this batter for pancakes too!
What can be used instead of cottage cheese? Thanks & keep the great recipes coming!
You could use greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese if you’d like.
Loved these! It felt good to actually make waffle batter vs. tossing a couple of frozen ones into the toaster. Was so easy to make and had all ingredient on-hand. The end result was very good! These will become a regular in our day-to-day. Highly recommend. Thank you!
We are so glad you enjoyed these waffles! Thanks for making the recipe!
Are the macros listed for Belgian sized waffles or 4 inch waffles?
Good question! The macros are based on 138 grams of batter per serving!
