1/3 scoop vanilla protein powder (around 2 tbsp)
3 tbsp canned pumpkin
3 tbsp cottage cheese or nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp egg whites (or 1 large egg white)
1 tbsp milk of choice (I used almond) – use more if it needs more thinning out
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 packet stevia
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Optional pumpkin topping:
1 tbsp milk of choice (I used almond)
1 tbsp pumpkin
1 tsp almond butter (or other nut butter, peanut butteer works great)
4 drops liquid stevia (or other sweetener)
DIRECTIONS:
Blend oats until they’re finely ground into a flour. Mix in a bowl with protein powder.
Place pumpkin, cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, egg whites and milk into blender and blend till smooth.
Stir into flour and protein powder mixture, adding in baking powder, stevia and spice.
Mix until combined and pour onto a hot waffle iron. Cook according to your waffle iron’s settings.
While waffle is cooking, place each of the topping ingredients into a small dish and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir well and pour over waffle, u can top it with some lowfat whipped cream if you like.
