Whole Wheat Protein Blender Waffles

Thanks for Sharing!

Whole wheat protein blender waffles are crazy fast to make, incredibly high in protein, and so yummi that my husband ate a triple batch without blinking!

For the November SRC recipe, I was assigned to make something from Jean’s blog. She’s the awesome lady behind Tasty Cheapskate. On my first glance at her recipe index, I found at least 12 recipes that I went crazy over. She blogs healthy recipes on a budget. Gee, does that sound like anyone else you know? *pointing finger at myself* I think I’m smitten with Jean.

After passing by her recipes for Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup and quinoa oat pancakes, I decided to make her blender waffles recipe.

In her post, Jean mentioned wanting to make them with whole wheat flour. So Jean, I made this protein blender waffles recipe with whole wheat flour, and the results are beyond amazing. These are some of the tastiest waffles that I’ve ever eaten.

Whole Wheat Protein Waffles Recipe Review

Although whole wheat flour is pretty dense, the waffles are still light and fluffy. I love that they’re packed with whole grains and lots of protein from the cottage cheese and eggs. Adding some ground cinnamon was the only change that I made. I love the aroma and taste of cinnamon, and besides, baking with cinnamon is a must in the fall.

I think it’s a law or something.  If it’s not, it definitely should be.

I serve the whole wheat waffles with some warm maple syrup, which gives a great sweetness to them. Now I want to make these every Sunday until I die. How’s that for a raving review?

      I’ve never met a waffle I didn’t like, but I know I’ll love these. The whole wheat, the cottage cheese, the simplicity and . . . well . . . waffles!

        This is a great waffles recipe for two reasons, Karen. One… like you said… well, WAFFLES! Secondly, the fact that there’s no “guts” to the recipe allows for lots of variations on the original. How about apple stuffed whole wheat waffles next time? 🙂

      Hmmm….I can’t say I’ve ever made blender waffles before, but these look delicious! I also love the whole wheat flour addition. Now I’m craving a big, hearty breakfast! These may need to make an appearance on my table during the holiday season. Thanks for sharing, Becca! 🙂

        Dave, trust me on this… this blender waffles recipe needs to happen in your life. They’re SO flippin’ fluffy because of the high speed whirring action (ooo, whirring = new favorite word)

        Shashi, I so know what you mean about the need for scratch and sniff monitors. I mean, geez… if people can create pet rocks, surely they could create that!
        This blender waffles recipe pretty much knocked my socks off without even trying. I hope you love it, too

      Oh my, these DO sound yummy. With the changing season, I pulled out the waffle maker for Sunday morning breakfast also. Great minds. . . This sounds like a good recipe to get a few extra good things into my four-year-old son’s tummy.

      I think you’re right, cinnamon is absolutely required this time of year. Actually, all the time. This is such a unique recipe, and I am a sucker for waffles. I might have to brave the cottage cheese and give it a whirl. (horrible pun intended)
