Method

1.BLEND THE LIQUIDS. Blend the cottage cheese, egg and milk until completely smooth.
2.MIX THE BATTER. In a glass bowl, combine the ground oats, protein powder, baking powder and salt. Stir in the blended liquids and vanilla until thick, smooth and pourable.
3.COOK. Preheat a waffle maker. Pour for two waffles following the maker's fill mark and doneness instructions. No butter or cooking spray was used. Remove both when ready.
4.SERVE. Plate both waffles. Optional powdered sweetener dust and sugar-free syrup are unmeasured toppings and are not included in the nutrition estimate.

If something fails

The batter is too thick to pour: Stir briefly again. Keep it thick but pourable; a small splash of milk can loosen it if needed.

The waffle sticks or tears on removal: Cook longer to your maker's done signal before opening. This recipe uses no butter or spray, so a fully set crust helps release.

The middle tastes gummy: Give the waffle more time in the iron. Protein batters need a full cook for a crisp edge and airy middle.

Estimated nutrition

~390 cal | ~41g protein per 2 waffles.

Creator-supplied working estimate for the entire 2-waffle batch before toppings: about 390 calories, 41g protein, 31g carbohydrates and 11g fat (per waffle ≈195 / 21). Derived from the earlier pancake estimate (424 / 42.9 / 30.3 / 14.5 including 4.2g butter) by removing the butter and 27g egg whites and adding 27ml Fairlife fat-free milk for a total of 63ml milk; arithmetic ≈388.9 kcal / 41.4g protein before display rounding. No butter or cooking spray. Swerve confectioners and sugar-free syrup are unmeasured and excluded. Estimate has not been independently verified against every current label; brands and portions can change totals. Do not treat these as single-waffle macros.
