Ingredient Substitution Suggestions

We recommend

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat the waffle iron.
Grind the oats in a blender until they resemble flour. Add the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, milk, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and egg and blend until smooth.

Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into each waffle iron quarter, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Close the lid and cook the waffles until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes (or according to the waffle iron manufacturer's instructions). Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles hot with maple syrup or any nut spread. Waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster.
