Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat both work well)
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats (or oat flour)
- 2 Large eggs
- Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the Batter – Place the cottage cheese, rolled oats, and eggs into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend the mixture on high for about 30 to 45 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and the oat grains have vanished. If you prefer a more textured waffle, you can pulse the ingredients, but a smooth batter creates the best “traditional” waffle consistency.
- Step 2: Preheat and Grease the Iron – Plug in your waffle iron and allow it to heat up fully. Most irons have an indicator light that turns off or changes color when ready. Once hot, generously spray both the top and bottom plates with a non-stick cooking spray or brush lightly with melted coconut oil. This ensures the high-protein batter does not stick to the ridges.
- Step 3: Cook Until Golden – Pour the blended batter into the center of the waffle iron. Use a spatula to spread it slightly toward the edges if needed, but do not overfill. Close the lid and cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Avoid opening the lid too early, as the steam needs to escape to create a crispy exterior. Remove the waffles carefully using a silicone fork or spatula once they are deep golden brown.
- Step 4: Plating and Topping – Transfer the hot waffles to a plate. Top them with your favorite high-protein additions like Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a drizzle of peanut butter. For a classic feel, use a small amount of pure maple syrup. Serve immediately while the edges are still crunchy.
