High Protein Waffle recipe made with eggs, oats and cottage cheese. Delicious protein waffles with only 3 simple ingredients! Easy breakfast recipe that is high in protein and gluten-free too, no protein powder needed!
I am always trying to sneak more protein into my meals, but sometimes it’s tricky! My kids don’t love meat and my stomach (and my budget!) can only handle so much protein powder. This protein waffle recipe is absolutely fantastic because all of the protein comes from eggs and cottage cheese – no powders involved at all!
Cottage cheese has a lot of protein per serving, but it’s not my favorite thing to eat so I try to find ways to sneak it into recipes instead. My kids really don’t like cottage cheese and they have eaten these waffles dozens of times without having a clue that it’s in there.
Ok, so these waffles are gluten-free and have lots of protein in them, but do they taste good? I was a little wary the first time I tried these, but I really love these waffles! Do they taste just like my favorite Belgian waffle recipe? Not quite. But they are still really good. Even good plain, but we do like to add a little bit of sweetness to them of course!
How to serve Protein Waffles?
My favorite way to eat waffles is to top them with some Greek yogurt for even more protein along with some berries. My kids love them with Nutella and whipped cream or syrup and butter. Either way, they are delicious! Add a side of scrambled eggs and you’ll have a breakfast that is packed with protein!
Ingredients in High Protein Waffle Recipe
Oats: I use old-fashioned oats, but quick oats work well too. If you need the waffles to be gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free oats!
Eggs: The larger, the better!
Cottage cheese: Any variety will do. Low-fat, non-fat, large curd, small curd….it all works!

How much protein in each serving of protein waffles?
This recipe makes 6 large waffles. Each waffle has about 17 grams of protein. If you add a container of Greek yogurt to top it off, you’ll be getting at least 30 grams of protein in one meal! You can even add some vanilla protein powder to the waffle batter to increase that amount even more.
Can you freeze protein waffles?
Protein waffles freeze beautifully. Make a double batch and freeze them and pull one out each morning for a quick breakfast. I like to reheat them in the toaster as it keeps the texture/consistency much better, but you can microwave them to reheat or heat in the oven as well.

LOVE this! I hate making waffles because it always expands & there is a huge mess to clean up. These tasted great & no mess to clean up afterwards 🙂 They even cooked faster PLUS are healthier. Made them for my daughter’s 9 year old sleepover party. Thank you for sharing. They gobbled them up!
