These healthy and delicious Cottage Cheese Waffles are a perfect breakfast or brunch option. Made with nutrient-rich cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, and lightly spiced with cinnamon, they offer a fluffy texture and subtle sweetness. Whipped up quickly in a blender and cooked in a waffle iron, they can be served warm with fresh cottage cheese and your favorite toppings for a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

Waffle Batter

  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (lowfat is fine)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil (or mild olive oil)
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to heat up fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare batter: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, avocado oil, vanilla extract, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is smooth but avoid over-blending to maintain a light texture.
  3. Cook waffles: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.
  4. Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve them warm. Top with fresh cottage cheese and your favorite accompaniments such as fresh fruit, honey, or maple syrup.

Notes

  • Do not over-blend the batter to keep the waffles fluffy and avoid a dense texture.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour if preferred, but whole wheat adds extra fiber.
  • Lowfat cottage cheese works well, but full-fat can be used for richer flavor.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron’s performance to prevent undercooked or burnt waffles.
  • This recipe yields about 10 standard-sized waffles depending on your waffle iron size.
