Equipment

  • Blender
  • Waffle iron

Ingredients
 

  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup egg whites from a carton
  • 1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese

Instructions
 

Blend the Batter

  • Add the oats, egg whites, and cottage cheese to a blender. Blend until the batter looks completely smooth and creamy with no visible oat bits.
  • Pulse in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of sea salt to create an airy lift in the batter.
  • Let the blended batter rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the oats can hydrate, which results in a fluffier waffle.

Preheat the Waffle Iron

  • Heat your waffle iron to its highest setting. Once hot, coat the surface thoroughly with a high-heat non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Cook Until Set and Golden

  • Pour the batter into the center of the iron and close the lid. Listen for the sizzle and wait for the oat aroma to bloom.
  • Cook until the steam stops or the iron signals it is done. Resist the urge to open the lid early so the structure sets properly.

Finish and Serve

  • Carefully remove the golden, crisp waffle and serve immediately with Greek yogurt, fruit, or syrup.

Notes

Texture Secret: Use the highest heat setting on your waffle iron to ensure a crisp exterior and a tender, airy center.
Storage Tip: Flash-freeze waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag. Reheat in a toaster to maintain the fresh, crisp texture.
Metric Tip: For consistent results, weigh your ingredients: use 27-30g oats, 80g egg whites, and 80g cottage cheese.
