Making Crispy High Protein Waffles is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron to preheat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Blend Oats: In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they resemble flour.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, egg whites, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and almond milk to the blended oats.
4. Process: Blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. If you’re using protein powder, add it in at this stage.
5. Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
6. Pour Batter: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron, enough to cover the surface but not overflow.
7. Cook Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process until all the batter is used.
9. Keep Warm: Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet in a warm oven to keep warm while the others cook.

These simple steps will yield perfectly crispy and delicious waffles every time!
