Protein Blueberry Waffles

These are super delicious and so good for you! They have the option of being either pancakes or waffles, which ever you'd prefer.




Protein Blueberry Waffles:

1 cup oats
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
6 large egg whites or 5 XL egg whites (or better yet, 5 oz [which is just over half a cup] of egg whites)
A couple packets of equal, splenda, or any other sweetener you want to use
1 tsp vanilla
A couple handfuls of FROZEN blueberries
A handful of chopped walnuts

Combine in a blender or food processor the oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, splenda and vanilla. Blend until it's no longer chunky and smooth like a batter should be.
Stir in frozen blueberries and walnuts. Poor into a preheated waffle iron (I use a Belgium waffle iron).
Top with your favorite ingredients! My favorite are fresh strawberries, whipped cream and a delicious sugar free syrup that I found!


Protein pancakes:

1 cup oats
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
6 large egg whites or 5 XL egg whites (or better yet, 5 oz [which is just over half a cup] of egg whites)
A couple packets of equal, splenda, or any other sweetener you want to use
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla

Combine in a blender or food processor the oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, splenda, cinnamon and vanilla. Blend until it's no longer chunky and smooth like a batter should be.

Cook like normal pancakes. Top with your favorite toppings!
