Healthy Hot Chocolate Protein Waffles Recipe

In a blender add the liquid whole eggs, cottage cheese, milk, oil, peppermint extract, oats, protein powder, hot cocoa mix, and baking powder. Blend until the dry ingredients are fully mixed and blended into the wet ingredients.
Preheat your waffle iron. When heated and ready to use, brush a little oil on the waffle grids and pour batter – use about ⅓-½ cup for regular waffles depending on your particular waffle maker. Close the lid and allow the waffles to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Remove the cooked waffles and place them on a wire rack. Repeat with any remaining waffle batter.
To make the optional protein drizzle, whisk together the melted coconut oil and protein powder.
Serve waffles with your favorite toppings, or try the chocolate protein drizzle, mini marshmallow, chocolate chips, and crushed candy canes for a tasty festive holiday breakfast!
