Protein Waffles
By Gina Caputo
Protein waffles have become my go-to meal (breakfast or lunch) when I need something super simple, quick and adaptable. I add my powdered greens and beet powder to this recipe and they become a nutrient vehicle that still tastes great!
Makes 3 waffles (1 serving)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup organic rolled oats ground up in a food processor
- 6 Tbsp egg whites (2 eggs worth) + 1 whole egg - or use 3 eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- Pinch of sea salt
- Non-stick cooking spray (I use coconut oil)
- Any powdered supplements you like. I add Amazing Grass super greens in Chocolate and Beet Powder
Instructions:
- Pre-heat a waffle iron
- Whiz your rolled oats in the food processor
- Combine ground oats with 3 eggs, cottage cheese and sea salt. You can mix these in a bowl but best results in a little food processor like this one.
- Spray both sides of the waffle iron with non-stick spray
- Pour 1/3rd of the mixture into the waffle iron. If you’re adding chocolate chips or nuts, sprinkle them on and close the lid.
- When done, remove and repeat 2 more times for 3 waffles.
- If they seem too floppy, cook them longer and/or raise the setting on your waffle iron. Experiment to find the perfect balance between crispy outer and soft inner on your waffle iron.
- Eat them like waffles with syrup, eat them as-is, use them as “bread” for a sandwich! The ingredients make these waffles go from savory to sweet with ease!
