High Protein Cottage Cheese Waffles That Actually Slap

Why We're Obsessed

okay so these waffles have become a full on staple in our house and I'm not even exaggerating when I say we make them like 4 times a week hahah. they're packed with protein, they taste amazing, and the girls literally cheer when they see me pull out the waffle iron. that's a win in my book :,)

The Recipe

this is SO simple and takes like 5 minutes to throw together. here's what you need:

  • 1 cup Kodiak Cakes mix (I'll add 1/4 cup extra if the batter is runny)
  • 1.5 cups cottage cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • splash of vanilla
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder

How to Make Them

blend everything until smooth — like actually smooth, don't leave chunks of cottage cheese bc that's not the vibe hahah. spray your waffle iron with oil so they get nice and crispy on the outside. that crispy outside with the fluffy inside is *chef's kiss*.

Why They're Actually Good for You

the cottage cheese adds a ton of protein without changing the taste at all. like you literally cannot tell it's in there. each waffle has around 15-20g of protein which is insane for a breakfast that tastes this good. I always feel so much better starting my day with protein vs just carbs — I don't crash at 10am anymore hahah.

Tips From Making These a Million Times

make sure your waffle iron is HOT before you pour the batter. like actually hot. and don't skip the oil spray — that's what gives you the crispy edges that make these next level. we usually top ours with fresh berries and a little maple syrup. the girls like whipped cream on theirs bc obviously hahah.

if you try these please let me know!! I promise you won't be disappointed. these are the real deal and I'm so happy I can share something that's actually healthy AND delicious bc that combo is hard to find :,)
