Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 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: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready to cook the waffles evenly.
  2. Blend the batter: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, oil, vanilla extract, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is smooth but avoid over-blending to maintain some texture.
  3. Cook the waffles: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, adjusting time based on your waffle iron’s guidance.
  4. Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve them warm. Top with fresh cottage cheese and your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, honey, or nuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute avocado oil with mild olive oil for a similar healthy fat source.
  • Do not over-blend the batter; some small curds of cottage cheese add a nice texture to the waffles.
  • Ensure your waffle iron is well-preheated for optimal crispiness.
  • Serving these waffles with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup complements their subtle sweetness.
  • Leftover waffles can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or oven for best results.
