Make these high-protein savory oat waffles for a filling, healthy breakfast or brunch. They use oat flour for texture and are packed with cheese and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh chives until evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter or oil until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are acceptable.
  6. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended for your specific iron.
  7. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes.
  8. Remove the waffle carefully and serve immediately with your preferred savory toppings.

Notes

  • For a crispier exterior, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute cottage cheese blended until smooth for some of the milk to boost protein further.
  • These waffles freeze well; cool completely, then store in an airtight container. Reheat in a toaster for best results.
