These high-protein egg white cottage cheese oat waffles are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and surprisingly filling. Made in the blender and cooked in a waffle iron, they’re perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or a cozy breakfast that still supports your health goals.

If you’re following Trim Healthy Mama, prioritizing protein, or navigating perimenopause and blood sugar balance, this recipe gives you a satisfying breakfast that fuels your body without the crash.


Why You’ll Love These High-Protein Waffles

  • Packed with protein from egg whites and cottage cheese
  • Made with simple, whole-food ingredients
  • Trim Healthy Mama–friendly (THM E or crossover, depending on portions and toppings)
  • Great for meal prep and freezer storage

Unlike traditional waffles, these won’t leave you hungry an hour later. The combination of protein + slow-digesting carbs helps keep you full and energized.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup liquid egg whites
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup oats
  • Pinch of salt
  • A few dashes of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Tip: Small-curd cottage cheese blends the smoothest, but any kind works in a high-speed blender.


How to Make Egg White Cottage Cheese Oat Waffles

  1. Add the egg whites, cottage cheese, and oats to a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Add salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder.
  4. Blend briefly just to combine.
  5. Let the batter rest 2–3 minutes to slightly thicken.
  6. Pour around 1/4-1/5 of the batter into a preheated, greased waffle iron.
  7. Cook until golden brown and fully set.

Cooking time varies by waffle iron. Avoid opening too early—these waffles crisp up best when allowed to cook fully.

    These are really good. I replaced the oats with Kodiak mix because that’s what I had available. If you do that, skip the baking soda because the waffles expanded too much. I think even my kids and husband would enjoy these.

    Jennifer, preparing to make these…is this considered a single or multiple-serving recipe?

      It’s a single serve recipe. But I struggle to eat the whole thing.
