High Protein Waffles
In an effort to have high protein breakfast options we've stumbled onto these awesome blender waffles. I like that the recipe is pretty basic with lots of room for customization! My kids, husband and I gave this recipe two thumbs way up! The best part is you don't crash from the over consumption of sugar after you enjoy these! Let me know what you think and how you customize these at your house!?!
2 Cups low-fat cottage cheese
2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed

2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 Cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Method
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until evenly mixed and smooth. Heat a waffle iron. Lightly coat with oil or spray with non-stick spray. Place a heaping 1/2 cup full of batter onto the waffle iron and cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining batter. You should have 4 waffles at the end.
Variations:
Add a banana in to blender and stir it to the mix for a creamy, potassium-rich addition.
Try adding a dollop of yogurt, extra chopped fresh fruit, freezer jam, sliced or chopped toasted nuts or nut butter on top.
