Ingredients

1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Cup Cottage Cheese
3 Large Egg
1-2 Tbsp Maple Syrup (or Maple Syrup (Sugar Free))
1 1/2 Cups Rolled Oats
1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Pinch Salt
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
Cooking Spray

Directions

Add the pumpkin purée and cottage cheese to a blender.
Add the eggs and maple syrup.
Add the oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt and vanilla, if using.
Blend until completely smooth. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture.
Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease it.
Pour approximately ½ cup batter into the waffle maker, adjusting the amount for the size of your machine.
Cook until the waffle is golden brown and releases easily. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve warm with Greek yogurt, berries, chopped pecans or a little sugar-free maple syrup.

💪 Easy Protein Boost

For an even higher-protein version, add ¼ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder. If that makes the batter too thick, blend in 2–4 tablespoons of milk until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
