How to make protein waffles

1. Prepare the base
   Put the cottage cheese, eggs and oats in a food processor, blender or the jug of a stick blender, and blend into a smooth, thick mixture.
2. Mix the batter
   Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and whisk into a smooth batter with no lumps. Leave to swell for 20 minutes or more.
3. Preheat the waffle maker
   Heat up the Grand Double waffle maker.
4. Cook the waffles
   Pour batter into the iron using the portion ladle that comes with it. Cook until golden and place the waffles on a wire rack.
5. Serve
   Serve warm with your favourite topping, such as brown cheese and blueberries, sour cream and jam, or anything else you like.

Tips:

• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or cardamom to the batter for extra flavour.
• Swap the carrots for finely grated apple for a fruity twist.
• Want a gluten-free version? Use gluten-free oats and flour.
