These high-protein breakfast waffles combine eggs, cottage cheese and oats for a filling breakfast that supports muscle repair and steady energy levels. While they provide more carbohydrate than some of my lighter breakfast recipes, they can be an excellent option for active days, after exercise or for those maintaining their weight following a balanced weight management approach.

Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 lb. (450g) cottage cheese
I portion unfavoured or vanilla protein powder (optional)

Method

Janie’s Nutrition Notes
Eggs and cottage cheese provide high-quality protein, while oats add fibre and carbohydrate for longer-lasting energy. Adjust the toppings to suit your training load and appetite.
