- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4 waffles
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For Cooking
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Add cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, about 30 to 45 seconds, creating a batter with the consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron: While the batter rests for a minute, preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it using nonstick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy waffle removal.
- Cook the waffles: Pour about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter, depending on your waffle iron size, into the center of the preheated iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Repeat and serve: Remove the cooked waffle carefully and repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron with nonstick spray between batches if necessary. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
