Higher protein waffles

[nwhiker]

The original recipe was here. She suggests 4 duck eggs (yech, sorry), or 5 medium regular eggs, but I found that made them much to eggy, so took it to 4. Not whirring the oats first probably works, but it's an easy step that makes my life easier. Also her whole rigmarole with the oats and soaking to make sure the oats don't leech good stuff out of our bodies? Yeah, no, not so much. So I modified quite a bit to make them easier to make, and imo tastier than her version.

Higher Protein Waffles

1 cup oats

1 cup cottage cheese

4 eggs

1 T brown sugar, or more to taste

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla, or more to taste (I use more).

Whir the oats for a few seconds in a blender (or a food processor), add the rest of the stuff, blend, make waffles.

Makes 5 round waffles. 4WW points each and about 12g protein/waffle

Sorry, I still never sent you our waffle recipe. I doubt it would outdo this one in the protein power punch.

Curious: do oats have more protein than wheat flour, or just more fiber?

My off the cuff calculations said they had about the same amount of protein but to get the same amount of fiber, I would have had to use whole wheat, or whole wheat white. Both of which I like but taste clearly "healthy" to the kids, especially Linnea, who is my "target population" for these waffles!
